  • Publication number: 20170262329
    Abstract: Call-home systems are configured and utilized. A log file is presented on a user interface of a computing device. One or more interactions that are associated with one or more instructions to modify the log file are detected on the user interface. One or more modifications to the log file are applied to the log file based on the one or more interactions. The one or more modifications include at least one of a modification that omits information from the log file, a modification that redacts information in the log file, and a modification that obfuscates information in the log file. The modified version of the log file is transferred to a call-home server based on one or more data transfer options.

  • Patent number: 9507671
    Abstract: For write cache protection of purpose built backup appliances in a computing environment, backup data of the write cache is created using a server memory that includes the write cache in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) system. The server memory is not controlled by a failing RAID card and/or NVRAM card that controls the write cache. The backup data in the server memory is flushed to a persistent storage device subsequent to detecting a failure of the write cache for enabling recovery of the backup data using the persistent storage device during a reboot operation.

  • Patent number: 9233239
    Abstract: A spring contact component for a plug socket of an electromedical implant, with a coil surrounding the outer periphery of a plug opening. A simpler, more cost effective and automatable design of a plug socket module can be achieved in that at least one end of the coil is electrically and mechanically connected directly to a connector pin via a wire-shaped and/or strip-shaped element. The invention also relates to a corresponding plug socket module, a modular header, and a method for producing a spring contact component of this type.
