Publication number: 20220344819Abstract: An omnidirectional communication device includes a central core to transmit a signal. The device includes inductor coils surrounding the central core to generate electromagnetic fields within and impart gyroscopic spin to the central core. The device includes high voltage coils to generate a plasma field within which the central core and the inductor coils rotate. The device includes a signal injection circuit to introduce the signal into the device in accordance with data to be transmitted. Rotation of the central core and the inductor coils within the plasma field warp the signal, causing the central core to transmit the signal outside of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventor: Eric Stephen Rees Bullock

Patent number: 11157061Abstract: A process for processor management includes activating a delay thread running on a processor. A determination is made whether a wait event for a first thread running on the processor is in a queue. Responsive to determining that the wait event for the first thread is in the queue, a determination is made whether a wait time associated with the wait event has expired. Responsive to determining that the wait time has not expired, a determination is made if wait time exceeds a threshold. Responsive to determining that the wait time exceeds the threshold, a timer is set and a low power mode is initiated for the processor.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bernard A. King-Smith, Bret R. Olszewski, Stephen Rees, Basu Vaidyanathan

Patent number: 10970173Abstract: A logging process in a data storage system having a set of storage tiers, each storage tier of the set of storage tiers having different performance characteristics, wherein the set of storage tiers is divided into a plurality of subsets of storage tiers using the performance characteristics, may include initiating the logging process for creating a separate log file for each of the plurality of subsets of storage tiers for maintaining a history of data changes in the subset of storage tiers, thereby creating a plurality of log files. In response to a change in data stored in at least one storage tier of a subset of storage tiers of the plurality of subsets of storage tiers, one or more log records including information about the change may be generated and written into respective log files.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Martin Oberhofer, Jens P.
