  • Patent number: 11401101
    Abstract: An insulating device can include an aperture having a waterproof closure which allows access to the chamber within the insulating device. The closure can help prevent any fluid leakage into and out of the insulating device if the insulating device is overturned or in any configuration other than upright. The closure also prevents any fluid from permeating into the chamber if the insulating device is exposed to precipitation, other fluid, or submersed under water. This construction results in an insulating chamber impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.

  • Patent number: 11403190
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for dynamic snapshot scheduling. In an example, a dynamic snapshot scheduler can analyze historical data about storage system resources. The dynamic snapshot scheduler can use this historical data to predict how the storage system resources will be used in the future. Based on this prediction, the dynamic snapshot scheduler can schedule snapshot activities for one or more times that are relatively unlikely to experience system resource contention. The dynamic snapshot scheduler can then initiate snapshot activities at those scheduled times.
