  • Patent number: 11960426
    Abstract: Concurrent servicing of a first cable of a cable pair while a second cable of the cable pair remains operational improves multi-processor computer system availability and serviceability. A pair of processing chips in different processing drawers may continue operation by way of the second cable while the first cable is degraded or serviced. Upon the servicing of the first cable, the serviced cable may transition to a fully operational state with no interruptions to the operations between the processing drawers by way of the second cable. Since cable faults are typically more common than processing chip or processing drawer faults, identification of cable faults and the ability to maintain operations of the processing drawers connected therewith is increasingly important.

  • Patent number: 11960618
    Abstract: A computer implemented method searches data. A number of processor units generates a candidate search result using an index for a data source in response to a search query by a user, wherein the candidate search result comprises files accessible by the user based on access control information in the index. The number of processor units generates a completed search result with a set of the files from the candidate search result having a confidentiality level less than or equal to a threshold confidentiality level. The number of processor units determines whether the user has access to a file in the candidate search result in which the file has the confidentiality level greater than the threshold confidentiality level for the data source. The number of processor units adds the file to the completed search result in response to the file being accessible by the user in the data source.

  • Patent number: 11963307
    Abstract: A ball-grid-array component of a ball-grid array assembly is analyzed prior to reflow. A predicted warping pattern of the ball-grid-array component that is likely to occur during reflow is predicted based on the analyzing. A solder ball ball-grid-array defect that could be caused by the predicted warping pattern is predicted. An initial via suction pattern to mitigate the ball-grid-array defect is assigned. A vacuum head is applied to a via in the ball-grid-array assembly. The solder ball is located at the opposite end of the via from the vacuum head. Suction is applied to the via based on the via suction pattern. The suction draws a portion of the solder ball into the via during reflow.

  • Patent number: 11962633
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computer program product for autoscaling a streaming platform in an event-driven microservice architecture. Upon a new consumer being added to a consumer group, the streaming platform triggers a rebalance phase if the number of the consumers in the consumer group is less than the number of the partitions and assign a new partition if the number of the consumers in the consumer group is greater than the number of the partitions. Upon a consumer being removed from a consumer group, in response to determining that the number of partitions is greater than the number of consumers, the streaming platform stops message publishing to a partition that is consumed by the consumer, allows remaining messages in the partition to be consumed, and deletes the partition in response to determining that all the remaining messages are consumed.
