  • Publication number: 20240111450
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for effectively delivering notifications in data storage environments includes, receiving, by a storage controller from a host system, a request to register the host system with the storage controller to receive notifications. These notifications may be associated with a selected type of event detected by the storage controller. In certain embodiments, the selected type of event is a space-related condition associated with a particular storage resource controlled by the storage controller. The computer-implemented method registers the host system with the storage controller. In response to detecting an event of the selected type on the storage controller, the computer-implemented method transmits a notification from the storage controller to the host system to provide notice of the event. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11916541
    Abstract: Disclosed is a filter bank module having a substrate, an antenna port terminal, and a filter bank die. The filter bank die is fixed to the substrate and includes a first acoustic wave (AW) filter having a first antenna terminal coupled to the antenna port terminal and a first filter terminal, wherein the first AW filter is configured to pass a first passband and attenuate frequencies outside the first passband, and a second AW filter having a second filter terminal, and a second antenna terminal coupled to the first antenna terminal to effectively diplex signals that pass through the first AW filter and the second AW filter, wherein the second AW filter is configured to pass a second passband that is spaced from the first passband to minimize interference between first bandpass and the second bandpass while attenuating frequencies outside the second passband.

  • Patent number: 11722513
    Abstract: A measure of influence of a sender entity is determined for a message receiving entity based at least in part on an analysis of previous electronic messages sent by the sender entity. An electronic message associated with the sender entity is received. The measure of influence of the sender entity is utilized to determine a security risk associated with the received electronic message.

  • Publication number: 20220315469
    Abstract: Systems and processes for purifying and concentrating a liquid feed stream are disclosed. In the systems, the concentrated liquid output from the high pressure side of a reverse osmosis stage is used as the draw solution in the low pressure side of the reverse osmosis stage in a configuration called osmotically assisted reverse osmosis. This reduces the osmotic pressure differential across the membrane, permitting high solute concentrations to be obtained, hastening the purification of the liquid. Reduced system pressures are also obtained by arranging multiple osmotically assisted reverse osmosis stages in a cross-current arrangement. Overall system energy consumption is reduced compared to conventional thermal processes for high concentration streams.

  • Publication number: 20220078197
    Abstract: Information of an electronic message to be delivered to an intended recipient is received. For an original resource identifier included in the electronic message, a corresponding alternative resource identifier that can be at least in part used to obtain the original resource identifier and obtain context information associated with the electronic message is determined. The original resource identifier included in the electronic message is replaced with the alternative resource identifier to generate a modified electronic message. The modified electronic message with the alternative resource identifier is allowed to be delivered to the intended recipient instead of the electronic message with the original resource identifier. A request made using the alternative resource identifier in the modified message triggers a security action based at least in part on the context information associated with the electronic message.

  • Patent number: 11102244
    Abstract: In one example, intelligence is gathered about an attacker that is attempting an attack via a malicious exploit message by exploiting the attacker's belief that the attack is succeeding. A received message (e.g., malicious message) sent from a first message account (e.g., attacker) to a second message account (e.g., intended victim) is received. A security risk associated with the received message is determined. It is determined that the security risk associated with the received message meets one or more criteria. Based on the determination that the security risk associated with the received message meets the one or more criteria, a responsive message is sent in response to the received message from a third message account (e.g., security service) to the first message account. The responsive message includes a content reference identified as referring to a content for a user of the first message account.

  • Patent number: 10908597
    Abstract: Touch sensing circuit arrangements include a touch sensor and a controller board. The touch sensor includes one or more sensing elements to generate touch-related signals responsive to a touch input to the sensor, and a memory device storing computer-executable firmware instructions for determining touch positions based on the touch-related signals. The controller board includes query logic executable by the controller board to cause the controller board to query for the computer-executable firmware instructions stored on the memory device of the touch sensor, and a processor circuit to determine touch positions by executing the firmware instructions loaded onto the generic controller board in response to the query.
