  • Patent number: 10970271
    Abstract: Correcting data in a dataset. A set of data tokens from a tabular data store are grouped into a plurality of different clusters based on similarity of tokens. A reference cluster is selected from among the plurality of different clusters such that the plurality of clusters includes a reference cluster and one or more other clusters. One or more tokens in the one or more other clusters are transformed. The effect on the reference cluster of adding the transformed tokens to the reference cluster is determined. Using this information, a correction for a token in the dataset is identified. The data store is updated to correct the token using the identified correction.

  • Patent number: 10970996
    Abstract: A system for automatically opening a lid to a grain bin with controller in communication with an actuator for receiving a signal containing a data packet to activate the actuator. An RFID is combined to an unloading device for transmitting the data packet to the controller when the RFID is positioned proximate to the controller. The controller compares the device id with a stored identification value and upon a match the controller activates the actuator to open the lid of the grain bin.

  • Patent number: 10971002
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing information about road features. A server can receive reports from information sources associated with a road feature that can include a road intersection. Each report can include source data obtained at a respective time. The source data from the reports can be stored at the server. The server can construct a phase map, where the phase map is configured to represent a status of the road feature at one or more times. The server can receive an information request related to the road feature at a specified time. In response to the information request, the server can generate an information response including a prediction of a status related to the road feature at the specified time. The prediction can be provided by the phase map and is based on information request. The information response can be sent from the server.

  • Patent number: 10969986
    Abstract: A data storage system in a cluster of storage systems provides virtual-volume data storage to virtual-computing (VC) hosts. A storage container is created for use as a logical grouping of virtual volumes (VVols), and \the storage container is paired as a source storage container with a target storage container on a remote target data storage system. The pairing identifies the target storage container to be used for storing a replica of a replication group of VVols to be stored in the source storage container. When a VVol having a requirement for protection by replication is created, it is placed in a replication group of the source storage container. Subsequently, based on the VVol being a member of the replication group of the source storage container, the VVol is replicated to a target replication group of the target storage container of the remote data storage system.

  • Patent number: 10970145
    Abstract: A service may be provided that reads sensors, and that communicates information based on the sensor readings to applications. In one example, an operating system provides a sensor interface that allows programs that run on a machine to read the values of sensors (such as an accelerometer, light meter, etc.). A service may use the interface to read the value of sensors, and may receive subscriptions to sensor values from other programs. The service may then generate messages that contain the sensor value, and may provide these messages to programs that have subscribed to the messages. The messages may contain raw sensor data. Or, the messages may contain information that is derived from the sensor data and/or from other data.

  • Patent number: 10972133
    Abstract: Fault-tolerant error correction (EC) is desirable for performing large quantum computations. In this disclosure, example fault-tolerant EC protocols are disclosed that use flag circuits, which signal when errors resulting from ? faults have weight greater than ?. Also disclosed are general constructions for these circuits (also referred to as flag qubits) for measuring arbitrary weight stabilizers. The example flag EC protocol is applicable to stabilizer codes of arbitrary distance that satisfy a set of conditions and uses fewer qubits than other schemes, such as Shor, Steane and Knill error correction. Also disclosed are examples of infinite code families that satisfy these conditions and analyze the behaviour of distance-three and -five examples numerically. Using fewer resources than Shor EC, the example flag EC protocols can be used in low-overhead fault-tolerant EC protocols using large low density parity check quantum codes.

  • Patent number: 10970259
    Abstract: Improved techniques of managing a data storage system involve selectively inserting block virtualization structures (BVS) in access paths between data blocks of a file system and block pointers pointing to the data blocks. A BVS provides metadata for supporting deduplication of data in that data block. In some arrangements, a file system may support selective insertion of such a BVS between a block pointer and data block according to a specified criterion. For example, such a file system might support insertion of BVS's between block pointers and those data blocks storing cold data for which access latency is not important to overall performance of the data storage system.

  • Patent number: 10970161
    Abstract: A method is disclosed including: obtaining one or more values of a system metric, the system metric being associated with a hardware resource of a computing device; detecting whether the system metric is approaching a threshold, the threshold being associated with a key performance indicator (KPI) of the computing device, the detecting being performed based on the obtained values of the system metric; calculating a predicted value of the system metric in response to detecting that the system metric is approaching the threshold, the predicted value of the system metric being calculated by using a linear predictor that is trained using unevenly-sampled training data; detecting whether the predicted value of the system metric exceeds the threshold; and reconfiguring the computing device to prevent the system metric from reaching the predicted value in response to detecting that the predicted value exceeds the threshold.

  • Patent number: 10972523
    Abstract: A realtime kernel supports realtime communications between communicants operating on respective network nodes. The realtime kernel handles the complex tasks of connecting to communicants, virtual areas, and other network resources, switching those connections in response to user inputs, and mixing realtime data streams. The realtime kernel enables developers to focus on developing high-level communications functionality instead of low-level plumbing code. The realtime kernel imposes relatively low computational resource requirements so that realtime communications performance can be achieved using a wide range of computing devices and network connections that currently are available.

  • Patent number: 10971027
    Abstract: A system and method for improving safety when operating an aircraft in reduced or modified visibility conditions is disclosed. A flight helmet having a visor with an electrically controlled optical state is configured to automatically move the visor up out of the pilot's line of sight on receipt of a signal from a safety sensor. This sensor-based automated moving of the visor helps alleviate danger in circumstances where the visor is improperly hindering the pilot. The helmet can be used, for example, in reduced-visibility training sessions and thereby improve the safety of such sessions. And the helmet can be used with enhanced or synthetic vision systems as a failsafe if the systems are hindering rather than helping the pilot.

  • Patent number: 10970233
    Abstract: Multiple virtual host ports corresponding to a same physical host port may be determined by or on behalf of a storage system, for example, in response to logging the one or more virtual host ports into the storage system. For one or more virtual host ports, it may be determined whether the virtual host port is connected to a same fabric port as another virtual host port, where a fabric port is a port of a fabric configured to connect to a virtual host port. If two virtual host ports are determined to be connected to a same fabric port, it may be concluded that the two virtual host ports correspond to (e.g., share) a same physical host port. One or more actions may be taken on a storage network based at least in part on a determination that two virtual host ports are sharing a same physical host port.
