Abstract: An inter-process communication (IPC) system, includes a first client engine, a first server engine, and a broker engine that is coupled to the first client engine. The broker engine initiates a first timer that is configured to reset when traffic is received from the first server engine while the first server engine is registered with the broker engine and coupled to the broker engine via a communication channel. The traffic that causes the first timer to reset includes at least one of: traffic generated by the first client engine to complete a request, and a first server-to-broker heartbeat message generated by the first server engine. The broker engine determines that the first timer has reached a predefined time amount, and in response, removes the registration of the first server engine and removes the communication channel between the broker engine and the first server engine.

Abstract: A portion of the shared global memory of a storage array is allocated for write-only blocks. Writes to a same-block of a production device may be accumulated in the allocated portion of memory. Temporal sequencing may be associated with each accumulated version of the same-block. When idle processing resources become available, the oldest group of same-blocks may be consolidated based on the temporal sequencing. The consolidated block may then be destaged to cache slots or managed drives. A group of same-blocks may also be consolidated in response to a read command.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, for providing, for display, a GUI on a display device; detecting biometric measurements associated with a user that is perceiving the current GUI; processing the biometric measurements to quantify a current cognitive load associated with the user, the current cognitive load responsive to the current GUI; comparing the current cognitive load that is responsive to the current GUI to a threshold cognitive load; determining that the current cognitive load that is responsive to the current GUI is greater than the threshold cognitive load; scaling down a complexity of the current GUI based on the current cognitive load that is responsive to the current GUI to generate an updated GUI; and providing, for display, the updated GUI on the display device.
Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which are stored machine readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to access a voice command file pertaining to a data file and to send the voice command file to at least one of a server and a voice services provider, in which the voice services provider is to translate the voice command file to a workflow task message and to send the workflow task message to the server. The instructions may also cause the processor to receive the workflow task message from the server and execute a workflow task on the data file corresponding to the received workflow task message.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes treatment of the vasculature of a patient with an expandable implant. The implant is constrained to a reduced delivery diameter for delivery within the vasculature by at least one sleeve. The implant can be constrained to other diameters, such as an intermediate diameter. The sleeves can be expanded, allowing for expansion of the diameter of the expandable implant, by disengaging a coupling member from the sleeve or sleeves from outside of the body of the patient. The expandable implant can comprise a steering line or lines which facilitate bending and steering of the expandable implant through the vasculature of a patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a securing assembly (1) for securing an elongated support tower (2) to a wind turbine tower (3). The securing assembly (1) comprises a base part (1a) including: a tower holding part (4), a fixed part (5), two arms (6), a plate (6c) arranged at the outer part of each of the two arms (6), the plates (6c) can adapt to the curvature of the wind turbine tower (3) and each comprising at least one rope sliding element (9). The securing assembly (1) comprises a rope (8), being arranged via the rope sliding elements (9), and a rope tightening device (11) arranged on the base part (1a). The rope (8) presses the plates (6c) against the wind turbine tower (3) when tightened.
Abstract: A compressible seal (400A) includes a compressible body (406) having a first surface (410) and a second surface. A pattern of discontinuous adhesive regions (412) is formed of an adhesive connected with at least one of the first surface (410) or the second surface of the compressible body (406). The compressible body (406) is operable to conform around the pattern of adhesive regions (412) to prevent fluid ingress when the compressible body (406) is compressed.
