Abstract: A binary ink developer (BID) may include a power supply electrically coupled to an electrode, a developer roller, and a cleaner roller. The BID may also include a controller to determine a level of image ghosting based on a sum of currents at the electrode, the developer roller and the cleaner roller, and instruct the power supply to provide an adjusted voltage to the cleaner roller in response to a determination of the level of image ghosting.

Abstract: Snaps are distributed among data nodes for load balancing and overload avoidance. A snap is initially associated with a first VNAS server on a first data node that hosts the primary volume being snapped. A second data node is selected based on loading. The second data node may be in the same or a different cluster. A second VNAS server is instantiated on the second data node. The snap is then mounted on the second VNAS server. The second VNAS server may be configured as the target for all reads to the snap. If the second data node is in a different cluster than the snap may be copied or moved from a first SAN node to a second SAN node. Multiple copies of snaps may be distributed, and individual snaps and copies may be associated with different SLOs.

Abstract: A rebar support chair has a housing with first and second opposed boundary walls spaced apart from one another and defining a cavity therebetween, an attachment portion having a seat for supporting rebar, a dampening member, and a force dispersion member inside the cavity. The attachment portion transfers forces between the rebar and housing. The force dispersion member moves in response to vibration of the attachment portion, and movement of the force dispersion member corresponds with compression and decompression of the dampening member. Another rebar support chair has a housing defining a cavity, an attachment portion for supporting rebar, a dampening member, and a force dispersion member in the cavity. The attachment portion transfers forces between the rebar and housing. The force dispersion member moves from a rest position in response to vibration of the attachment portion, and the dampening member biases the force dispersion member toward the rest position.

Abstract: A method for determining a sequence of operation of at least one set of generator units of an electrical network includes assigning a rank to each generator unit; from a projected load curve, determining a minimum number of generator units; for each generator unit having a rank less than or equal to the minimum number of generator units, allocating in the sequence of operation the on state to the generator unit for each time interval; for each generator unit having a rank greater than the minimum number of generator units, allocating, by increasing rank, for each time interval of the sequence of operation the on state or the off state to the generator unit, and for each generator unit to which is assigned the on state at a given time interval of the sequence of operation, allocating an operating power, by optimisation of a cost function over a period.

Abstract: NFC communications from a mobile phone to an information handling system initiates an inventory by a management controller of the information handling system. The inventory is provided to the mobile telephone with a second NFC communication so that an end user can see a visual depiction of the interior of the information handling system before opening the chassis of the system.

Abstract: Systems and methods support secure transfer of data between workspaces operating on an IHS (Information Handling System). Upon a request for access to a first managed resource, such as protected data, a first workspace is deployed according to a first workspace definition. Upon a request for access to a second managed resource, a second workspace is deployed according to a second workspace definition. In response to an indication of a portion of the protected data from the first workspace being copied to a buffer supported by the IHS and of a request to paste the copied portion of the protected data to the second workspace, the protections provided by the second workspace are evaluated. If the protections of the second workspace are inadequate, an updated second workspace definition is selected that specifies additional protections. The second workspace is updated according to the updated second workspace definition and the transfer is permitted.

Abstract: Plural Internet of Things (IoT) gateways detect, secure against and remediate malicious code with an autonomous communication of tokens between the IoT gateways on a time schedule. Detection of an invalid token or a token communication outside of a scheduled time indicates that malicious code may have interfered with token generation or communication. Once malicious code is verified on an IoT gateway, the failed gateway is quarantined from the passing of the token and functions of the failed IoT gateway are assigned to other IoT gateways.

The flexible portion is coupled to an end of the rigid bail. The flexible portion includes a plurality of segments that are unidirectionally flexible. The controller is communicatively coupled to the rotational motor to control movement of the rigid bail.

Abstract: A boot option system includes a pre-boot execution environment system coupled to a server device through a network. The server device creates a device placeholder boot option including a device path terminating at a storage controller in the server device. During a first boot and based on first boot instructions received from the pre-boot execution environment system, the server device moves the device placeholder boot option to a desired location within a boot sequence for the server device. During a second boot and based on second boot instructions received from the pre-boot execution environment system, the server device provides an operating system on the server device. The server device then replaces, at the desired location within the boot sequence, the device placeholder boot option with an operating system boot option that was provided on the server device in response to the provisioning of the operating system on the server device.

Abstract: Propensities of entities, comprising human users and virtual assistants (VAs), for various behaviors can be determined and used to facilitate managing interactions between entities. An interaction management component (IMC) can determine an aggregate propensity metric relating to a propensity of an entity to engage in a behavior based on a cross-correlation of respective propensity metrics relating to respective propensities of the entity to engage in respective behaviors. During an interaction between entities, including the entity, IMC can determine an action to perform to interact with the entity based on the aggregate propensity metric and a context determined for the interaction. The action can be one that is predicted to elicit a defined action by the entity in response to the action. During (or after) the interaction, IMC can update behavior attributes, context, and/or aggregate propensity metric associated with the entity based on actions performed during the interaction.
