  • Data access method, apparatus and computer program product
    Patent number: 11379326
    Abstract: Techniques perform data access to a disk array. The disk array includes a parity disk and a plurality of data disks. Via such techniques, data is written to the parity disk in the disk array in response to a write request to a failed data disk in the disk array when the disk array is in a degraded state; and corresponding degraded storage position information is set in disk resource mapping information so as to indicate that the data are stored in the parity disk. Accordingly, enormous computing resources can be saved, and I/O operations required by reads in the degraded state can be reduced.

  • Method and system for monitoring temperature of a power distribution circuit
    Patent number: 11376973
    Abstract: A system of a vehicle includes a processor configured to control output current of a remote power distribution circuit (PDC) connected to the vehicle according to a temperature change of a power line or return line of the PDC. The temperature change is derived from a PDC output voltage or output current change. The PDC output voltage and output current are measured at an input to a load connected to the PDC. And, the PDC output voltage is measured between a ground line of the PDC and one of the power and return lines.

    Patent number: 11381545
    Abstract: Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for secure cloud application provisioning. A method can include, while providing access to the cloud application, receiving data indicating a first universal resource locator (URL) entered in a search bar of a web browser associated with the cloud application has changed to a second URL, determining whether the second URL has a valid certificate, and in response to determining the second URL is associated with the cloud application and a valid certificate for the second URL exists, providing resources for the second URL and the valid certificate to the web browser or in response to determining the second URL is not associated with the application, re-directing the web browser away from the proxy server.

  • Interlocking diffuser arrangement in electrical submersible pump
    Patent number: 11377939
    Abstract: An electrical submersible well pump has upper and lower diffusers non-rotatably mounted in a housing. A rotatable impeller between the upper and lower diffusers has a bottom shroud. An outward-facing wall is on an upper end of the lower diffuser. A lower end of the upper diffuser has an inward-facing wall that fits closely around the outward-facing wall of the lower diffuser. A key mounted between the inward-facing and outward-facing walls prevents relative rotation between the diffusers. The key extends axially above an upper end of the neck and radially inward from the inward-facing wall of the upper diffuser into close proximity to the bottom shroud, creating a sand dam.

  • Systems and methods to enhance intake air flow to a gas turbine engine of a hydraulic fracturing unit
    Patent number: 11378008
    Abstract: Systems and methods to increase intake air flow to a gas turbine engine of a hydraulic fracturing unit when positioned in an enclosure may include providing an intake expansion assembly to enhance intake air flow to the gas turbine engine. The intake expansion assembly may include an intake expansion wall defining a plurality of intake ports positioned to supply intake air to the gas turbine engine. The intake expansion assembly also may include one or more actuators connected to a main housing of the enclosure and the intake expansion assembly. The one or more actuators may be positioned to cause the intake expansion wall to move relative to the main housing between a first position preventing air flow through the plurality of intake ports and a second position providing air flow through the plurality of intake ports to an interior of the enclosure.

  • Hierarchical decorrelation of multichannel audio
    Patent number: 11380342
    Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, and apparatus for hierarchical decorrelation of multichannel audio. A hierarchical decorrelation algorithm is designed to adapt to possibly changing characteristics of an input signal, and also preserves the energy of the original signal. The algorithm is invertible in that the original signal can be retrieved if needed. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm decomposes the decorrelation process into multiple low-complexity steps. The contribution of these steps is generally in a decreasing order, and thus the complexity of the algorithm can be scaled.

  • Method and apparatus for video coding
    Patent number: 11381833
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding and decoding. In some examples, an apparatus for video decoding includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to select, from a history buffer that includes multiple pieces of motion information of previously decoded blocks, at least one motion vector prediction (MVP) candidate to be included in a MVP candidate list for a current block based on frequencies that the multiple pieces of motion information are used in predicting the previously decoded blocks. The processing circuitry further determines a current piece of motion information of the current block based on the MVP candidate list and reconstructs at least one sample of the current block based on the current piece of motion information.
