Abstract: A backhoe loader comprises a front chassis, a rear chassis, a rotatable operator workstation, and a chassis lock mechanism. The front chassis comprises the loading assembly and the rear chassis is connected to the front chassis along a vertical axis joint by a pin lock assembly. The rotatable operator workstation is positioned in the rear chassis, which is positioned inside a bearing mounted cabin which is slewable in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. The operator workstation enables maneuvering of the front chassis with respect to the rear chassis using the pin lock assembly. The chassis lock mechanism is achieved using two single acting hydraulic cylinders that are mounted horizontally on rear chassis. These hydraulic cylinders are actuated during the excavation operation which in turns locks the oscillation of vehicle and front and rear chassis acts rigidly like a single body. This rigidity of the vehicle provides the required stability during excavation.

Abstract: Various arrangements for short-range wireless communication between audio output devices, such as true wireless earbuds, are presented herein. A first earbud of a pair of earbuds may determine that a first audio packet addressed to the first earbud from an audio source was not properly received. However, a second earbud of the pair of earbuds may properly receive the first audio packet addressed to the first earbud. The second earbud can then, directly to the first earbud, transmit a cross acknowledgement indicating that the second earbud properly received the audio packet.

Abstract: Embodiments for creating transactional consistent snapshot copies of SQL server containers in a Kubernetes system for copy reuse on different clusters to facilitate processing local snapshots for secondary workloads without impacting production quality of service. A copy data management (CDM) tool acts as an orchestrator, while a backup toolkit is deployed in the namespace of the production cluster containers. A container storage interface (CSI) plugin supplies persistent storage to the containers. Before taking a copy, the process posts the toolkit in the container and a quiesce/unquiesce operation is then performed. The databases are first quiesced, the snapshot copy is taken, and then the databases are unquiesced. The toolkit is then removed, thus producing a transactional consistent backup in a different namespace.

The current and historic host application awareness information includes host application roles such as normal operation, creation of a remote backup, cloning of the storage object, snapping of the storage object, restoring the storage object from a snapshot, scanning a database in the storage object, and scanning the storage object.
