Abstract: In one or more examples, there is disclosed a system and method of detecting agent presence for self-healing. An out-of-band monitoring process, such as Intel® AMT, or any process in firmware executing on a co-processor, may monitor one or more processes to determine if one goes down or otherwise meets a security criterion.

The ESC may notice trends among affected machines and instruct the machines to take appropriate remedial action, such as booting from a remedial image.

Abstract: A triggered sink circuit for a linear voltage regulator, such as low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO), is disclosed. The triggered sink circuit is activated only when needed to sink current from an output in response to a transient load change. The triggered sink circuit includes a large sink transistor that when activated drains current from the output of the LDO to quickly restore an output voltage back towards a regulated value, thereby improving a load transient response to the load change. The improved load transient response prevents the output transistor of the LDO from being completely deactivated to restore regulation. Accordingly, the LDO's response to a subsequent load transient can be improved.

Abstract: One example method includes connecting to a fileserver of a data protection system, initiating, at a client, an operation that is associated with a master pseudofs of the fileserver, creating, at the client, a client-specific pseudofs based upon the master pseudofs, and the client-specific pseudofs includes only those nodes of the master pseudofs that the client is authorized to access, and performing the operation using the client-specific pseudofs.

Abstract: Innovations for signaling state of a decoded picture buffer (“DPB”) and reference picture lists (“RPLs”). In example implementations, rather than rely on internal state of a decoder to manage and update DPB and RPLs, state information about the DPB and RPLs is explicitly signaled. This permits a decoder to determine which pictures are expected to be available for reference from the signaled state information. For example, an encoder determines state information that identifies which pictures are available for use as reference pictures (optionally considering feedback information from a decoder about which pictures are available). The encoder sets syntax elements that represent the state information. In doing so, the encoder sets identifying information for a long-term reference picture (“LTRP”), where the identifying information is a value of picture order count least significant bits for the LTRB. The encoder then outputs the syntax elements as part of a bitstream.
