  • Patent number: 11385890
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to stored software libraries are provided. A computing device can receive versioned-shared-library information for a first software library used by a software application, where the versioned-shared-library information can include an identifier. The computing device can determine whether the computing device stores a copy of the first software library identified in the versioned-shared-library information by the identifier. The computing device can send a request for one of a full executable and a stripped executable for the software application, where the full executable includes the first software library, and where the stripped executable excludes the first software library. In response to the request, the computing device can receive the full executable or the stripped executable for the software application.

  • Patent number: 11385823
    Abstract: Techniques for rebuilding a disk array involve, in response to receiving a message for rebuilding disk arrays in a storage system, determining a target disk that causes rebuilding. Such techniques further involve determining from the disk arrays a set of disk arrays related to the target disk, and generating subsets of disk arrays from the set of disk arrays, each subset including disk arrays that can be rebuilt in parallel. Such techniques further involve determining, based on a number of disks included in each subset, a target subset from the plurality of subsets, and rebuilding disk arrays in the target subset in parallel. Accordingly, a disk array that is most suitable for parallel rebuilding may be determined, and the process of rebuilding the disk array is sped up. Such techniques reduce the delay caused by performing rebuilding, and improve rebuilding efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11383643
    Abstract: A camera system is installed on the front end of a vehicle, either on the left front, the right front, or both sides. The camera is linked via wired or wireless connection to an onboard computer and a navigation display that is located within the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The driver reviews a visual description on the display of any oncoming traffic in the form of motor vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, animals and the like on the navigation display via a single screen, split screen or alternating screens. The camera system can include a speed sensor that detects when the vehicle reaches a threshold speed to activate or de-activate the camera. Alternatively, the computer can activate the system when a turn signal is activated, and de-activate the system when the turn signal is no longer activated. This camera system can be retrofitted into older vehicles.

  • Patent number: 11383382
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for specifying safety rules for robotic devices. A computing device can determine information about any actors present within a predetermined area of an environment. The computing device can determine a safety classification for the predetermined area based on the information. The safety classification can include: a low safety classification if the information indicates zero actors are present within the predetermined area, a medium safety classification if the information indicates any actors are present within the predetermined area all are of a predetermined first type, and a high safety classification if the information indicates at least one actor present within the predetermined area is of a predetermined second type. After determining the safety classification for the predetermined area, the computing device can provide a safety rule for operating within the predetermined area to a robotic device operating in the environment.
