Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method of backing up and restoring a containerized application or a cloud-based application using a datamover service includes determining a stateful set of services of the containerized application or cloud-based application to be backed up. A persistent volume associated with the determined stateful set of services of the containerized application or cloud-based application is identified. Then, a snapshot of the identified persistent volume is created and a new persistent volume is created from the snapshot. The created new persistent volume is attached to a datamover service. Data from the created new persistent volume is then copied to a network file system or storage system using the datamover service, thereby creating backup data stored in a storage system.

Abstract: A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device accesses an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both.

Abstract: In a range imaging camera, a first range image producing unit produces a first range image by calculating a distance to an object on the basis of the delay time or the received light amount of each pixel produced by a light receiving processing unit. A second range image producing unit produces a second range image by performing filtering for each pixel of the first range image using a group of neighboring pixels including its own pixel. In this case, a pixel group selection unit selects a group of pixels used in the filtering such that at least one of produced values including the delay time and the received light amount produced by the light receiving processing unit and the first range image produced by the first range image producing unit is equal to or larger than a noise component value.

Abstract: Method for generating an OFDM training sequence, device and computer program product. The OFDM training sequence consists of at least two OFDM symbols, and the OFDM training sequence comprises at least two OFDM sub-carriers, the method comprising a step of partitioning the OFDM sub-carriers into at least two separate groups comprising at least one sub-carrier, a number of groups being smaller than a number of sub-carriers. The method comprises steps, carried out independently for each group, of generating an elementary sequence associated with a group by combining the sub-carriers of the group, the elementary sequence having a duration equal to a duration of one of the at least two symbols.

Abstract: A method for establishing system resource prediction and resource management model through multi-layer correlations is provided. The method builds an estimation model by analyzing the relationship between a main application workload, resource usage of the main application, and resource usage of sub-application resources and prepares in advance the specific resources to meet future requirements. This multi-layer analysis, prediction, and management method is different from the prior arts, which only focus on single-level estimation and resource deployment. The present invention can utilize more interactive relationships at different layers to effectively perform predictions, thereby achieving the advantage of reducing hidden resource management costs when operating application services.

Abstract: A novel weatherproof electrical component enclosure incorporates swappable internal module configurations for several types of network devices, wherein each internal module embodies standardized dimensions and standardized attachment elements for seamless internal device swap in-and-out compatibilities within the same weatherproof enclosure. Examples of novel swappable internal modules for the novel weatherproof electrical component enclosure include a fanned Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch, a fan-less PoE switch, a network router, and a wireless base station, all of which are simply swappable in and out of the weatherproof enclosure. The novel weatherproof electrical component enclosure also uniquely incorporates a customer's component hotel space as a weatherproof storage of customer-specific private accessory devices, in addition to housing factory-packaged original equipment which the weatherproof electrical component enclosure is originally designed to encase.
