  • Patent number: 11101036
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed for relaying information from a cardiac pacemaker to an external device. Logic on the pacemaker modulates a heartbeat clock of the pacemaker to encode information onto a blood pressure sequence by adding or subtracting a small subinterval to or from a pulse repetition interval of the pacemaker. A muscle stimulator beats the heart according to the modulated sequence. A monitoring device external to the body monitors the blood pressure to retrieve the encoded information, or message. The encoded information is then decoded to determine the information in the message. This information may concern the pacemaker as well as other devices within the body that communicate with the pacemaker such as blood monitors, etc. Since the message is conveyed via simple modulation of the heart beat intervals, no separate transmitter is required in the pacemaker which would otherwise increase cost and decrease battery life.

  • Patent number: 11102300
    Abstract: Determining an optimal path through a storage area network from a specific initiator to a specific target includes determining a plurality of possible paths through the storage area network between the specific initiator and the specific target, examining a plurality of previously-determined latency values for each of the paths, the previously-determined latency values being set according to empirical observation of propagation through each of the paths, and choosing a specific one of the paths having a lowest latency value. The previously-determined latency values may be determined by sending a command from the specific initiator to the specific target. The command may avoid queuing any I/O operations at the specific target. The command may be a status request command or a vendor specific command. The source may be a host system and the target may be a storage system. The previously-determined latency may be measured using a PowerPath Management Appliance.

  • Patent number: 11099752
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to improve application performance in replication environments. In one embodiment, first application input/output (I/O) throughput and second application I/O throughput are associated with a data volume and are both sampled, with the first application I/O throughput being sampled while the data volume is set to an asynchronous write acknowledgement mode and the second application I/O throughput being sampled while the data volume is set to a synchronous write acknowledgement mode. A determination is made as to whether the asynchronous write acknowledgement mode or the synchronous write acknowledgement mode provides a higher application I/O throughput for the data volume. The data volume is then set to a preferred write acknowledgement mode that is selected, based on a result of the determining, from the asynchronous write acknowledgement mode and the synchronous write acknowledgement mode, and in certain embodiments, a mixed write acknowledgement mode.
