Abstract: Performance in multi-core data storage systems is increased while allowing for portability and fast failover in the event of a failure of a driver stack by a data storage system employing several queues to reduce lock contention. Queueing is performed with two levels of several queues each within a userspace scheduling driver within a userspace container. The userspace scheduling driver may dequeue into a userspace management driver that communicates with a kernel-based hardware driver by way of a kernel helper driver. An apparatus, system, and computer program product for performing a similar method are also provided.

Abstract: A first base station may be configured as an auxiliary receiver for a data stream sent on an uplink from a source device to a second base station. The second base station may be a base station that is engaged in conventional communications with the source device on uplink and downlink channels using a selected protocol. The first base station may be used to provide extra data redundancy/QoS for a data stream sent from the source device to a destination device through the second base station. The first base station may determine that it has available bandwidth and is able to serve as an auxiliary receiver. The first base station may be asked by the second base station to provide extra bandwidth when certain network conditions occur. The first base station may include a software defined radio (SDR) that may be configured to receive according to the selected protocol.

Abstract: A pre-filled stemmed glass has product sealed inside using a rigid lock-on cap. The stemmed glass illustratively includes a circumferential ledge with a groove against which the bottom rim of the cap seats, creating a liquid resistant barrier that could help prevent liquid from penetrating under the cap from the outside, if desired. The stemmed glass has a rim with a rounded profile at the outside surface of the glass and a flat profile on the inside surface thereof, facilitating injection-molding manufacture of the glass. The ledge and the lower rim of the cap of the stemmed glass have the same diameter, which facilitates the filling with product and capping of the stemmed glass by high-speed filling and capping machinery.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for selecting points of interest (POIs) to include in navigation maneuvers presented by a navigation application of an electronic device. Navigation directions, including several maneuvers, are generated by a server device. Candidate POIs near locations corresponding to each of the maneuvers are identified and the server device receives requests from third parties that own each of the candidate POIs. The server device selects one of the candidate POIs for each maneuver based on the requests from the third parties and additionally based on the visibility of each of the candidate POIs from the location of the maneuver or the distance between the location of each of the candidate POIs and the location of the maneuver. The server device provides the navigation directions, including an indication of the selected POI for a corresponding maneuver, to the client device of the user who requested the navigation directions.
