  • Reconstruction of links to orphaned logical pages in a storage system
    Patent number: 11099940
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to determine that a first data structure comprises an indication that a first logical page is an orphan and to obtain the first logical page based at least in part on the determination. The processing device is configured to identify a pointer to a second logical page from a second data structure of the first logical page and to determine a data offset that corresponds to the pointer. The processing device is configured to determine a snapshot group that corresponds to the first logical page and to identify a candidate logical page based at least in part on the data offset, the snapshot group and the pointer. The processing device is configured to determine that the candidate logical page is a match for the first logical page and to link the candidate logical page and the first logical page together.

  • Satellite based internet of things network
    Patent number: 11102183
    Abstract: A system and method for communicating with an Internet of Things (IoT) User Terminal (UT) population. The method includes storing UT parameters for each UT of the UT population with a security and repository server (SRS), where the UT parameters include a UT identifier, a UT IP address, and an application server IP address; communicating from the UT population using a one-shot transmission via an over-the-air (OTA) link; receiving the one-shot transmission from a sender UT of a UT population; and sending an IP packet including a portion of the one-shot transmission to an application server. In the method, the one-shot transmission includes an unscheduled transmission between the GW and UT, the one-shot transmission includes a sender UT identifier, and the UT identifier for each UT of the UT population is unique.

  • Repulsion-based swim system and methods for use thereof
    Patent number: 11097177
    Abstract: In one aspect, a swim system may include a reverse thrust system worn by a swimmer proximate the frontal upper torso. The system provides a variable amount of reverse thrust such that the user can swim-in-place or make gradual forward progress. Importantly, this may enable a user to effectively “extend” a small residential pool to serve the same function as a twenty-five meter pool typically found at commercial or government facilities. The system also provides laminar current under the user while swimming, which solves the problems of “leg drop,” the need to “out-kick” the arm stroke, and turbulence and wave action around the head associated with conventional swim-in-place devices. Still further, in certain embodiments the system provides a relatively strong current in the region of the arm stroke moving away from the swimmer which provides enhanced “resistance” for proficient swimmers.

  • Method and apparatus for forming a self-locking adjustable loop
    Patent number: 11096684
    Abstract: A self-locking adjustable loop construction and a method of forming the construction are disclosed. The construction can include a flexible member having a first end, a second end and a first portion therebetween. The first end can be passed back through the first portion at a first point such that the first end passes through the first portion from a first side of the flexible member to a second opposite side of the flexible member. The first end can be passed through the first portion at a second point spaced apart from the first point such that the first end passes through the first portion from the second side to the first side so as to place the second end outside of the first portion.

  • Methods and systems for X-ray tube conditioning
    Patent number: 11096642
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for x-ray tube conditioning for a computed tomography imaging method. In one embodiment, a scout scan may be carried out prior to a diagnostic to warmup the x-ray tube to a desired temperature for the diagnostic scan. A scout scan parameter optimizing algorithm may be used to determine scout scan parameters based on a selected patient absorbed dose range and an amount of energy to be imparted to an x-ray tube during the scout scan preceding a diagnostic scan. By using a hardening filter in the path of the x-ray beam, radiation absorbed dose of the subject being scanned may be limited to the selected patient absorbed dose range.

  • Adjusting video rendering rate of virtual reality content and processing of a stereoscopic image
    Patent number: 11100714
    Abstract: An example technique may include performing, by a virtual reality application provided on a computing device, video rendering at a first video rendering rate based on updating an entire image on a screen of the computing device at a first update rate, determining that a performance of the video rendering is less than a threshold, performing, based on the determining, video rendering at a second video rendering rate by updating a first portion of the image at the first update rate, and by updating a second portion of the image at a second update rate that is less than the first update rate. Another example technique may include shifting, during an eye blinking period, one or both of a left eye image and a right eye image to reduce a disparity between a left viewed object and a right viewed object.

  • Image display using rotated frame of reference
    Patent number: 11100902
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to computing devices, head-mounted display (HMD) devices, and methods for displaying an image via a display device. In one example, a method for displaying an image via a display device comprises receiving an original frame of reference, determining a rotated device orientation of the display device, and modifying the original frame of reference to a rotated frame of reference based on the rotated device orientation. The method further comprises sampling data describing a virtual world at the rotated frame of reference to produce an intermediate image frame, generating a final image frame by back-rotating the intermediate image frame to the original frame of reference, and displaying the final image frame via the display device.

  • Remote control activation based on predicted events
    Patent number: 11102537
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting trigger events, such as an advertisement during a video program, and activating a remote control device in response to the prediction are described. By activating the remote control device at a particular time, the remote control device may save energy when listening for data from one or more terminal devices. The time to activate the remote control may be based on one or more factors, including the current presentation position and/or presentation speed of the video program. A remote control device may take additional actions the next time it listens for data, including illuminating backlights, turning on a display, displaying content on the display, interacting with other devices, etc.
