  • Patent number: 11102882
    Abstract: A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) includes a via extending through at least one layer of the PCB. The PCB may also include a first catch pad connected to the via and located within a first metal layer of the PCB. The first catch pad may have a first size. The PCB may further include a second catch pad connected to the via and located within a second metal layer of the PCB. The second catch pad may have a second size greater than the first size. The second catch pad may overlap horizontally with a portion of a metallic feature in the first metal layer to obstruct light incident on a first side of the PCB from transmission to a second side of the PCB through a region of dielectric material near the via.

  • Patent number: 11099906
    Abstract: A service mapping component (SMC) is described herein for processing requests by instances of tenant functionality that execute on software-driven host components (or some other components) in a data processing system. The SMC is configured to apply at least one rule to determine whether a service requested by an instance of tenant functionality is to be satisfied by at least one of: a local host component, a local hardware acceleration component which is locally coupled to the local host component, and/or at least one remote hardware acceleration component that is indirectly accessible to the local host component via the local hardware acceleration component. In performing its analysis, the SMC can take into account various factors, such as whether or not the service corresponds to a line-rate service, latency-related considerations, security-related considerations, and so on.

  • Patent number: 11102663
    Abstract: Among other things, a communication system comprising at least one remote unit and at least one controller is described. The at least one remote unit exchanges radio frequency (RF) signals with mobile devices. Each RF signal comprises information destined for, or originating from, one of the mobile devices. The controller is communicatively coupled to the at least one remote unit and comprises a real-time scheduler for assigning airlink resources to the mobile devices for the information. The at least one controller and the at least one remote unit are configured so that the physical layer functions for an air interface are split between the controller and the at least one remote unit. The at least one controller and the at least one remote unit are configured so that the split of the physical layer functions for at least some of a first channel of the air interface differs from the split of the physical layer functions for a second channel of the air interface.

  • Patent number: 11099583
    Abstract: Techniques are provided to improve routing of autonomous vehicles through highly congested areas. In some embodiments, routes that include sequences of timed space reservations are provided to autonomous vehicles by a route reservation system. In some embodiments, the route reservation system detects route alteration states (including but not limited to an arrival of an autonomous vehicle at a waiting area), determines a new route for the autonomous vehicle that passes through the highly congested area, and transmits the new route to the autonomous vehicle for navigating from the waiting area to an endpoint.

  • Patent number: 11100027
    Abstract: A storage entity of the data storage system may be visible to the host over a first path and a second path. The first path may operate in accordance with a first protocol and the second path may operate in accordance with a second different protocol. The storage entity may have a first protocol level personality and identity when presented to the host over the first path and a second protocol level personality and identity when presented to the host over the second path. A first native identifier associated of the storage entity on the first path and a second native identifier of the storage entity on the second path may be used to determine that the same storage entity is visible over the first and second paths even though the storage entity may have different protocol level identifiers on the first and second paths that operate using different protocols.

  • Patent number: 11101982
    Abstract: Methods and systems for encrypting sensitive information are disclosed comprising hashing sensitive information by a hash function and selecting a salt or key salt based, at least in part, on the hashed sensitive information. If a salt is selected, the selected salt is combined with the hashed sensitive information to yield combined sensitive information, which is encrypted and stored. If a key is selected, such as an AES key, for example, the sensitive information is encrypted by the selected encryption key, and stored. The keys and salts may be encrypted by a cryptographic processing system that generates and stores keys, such as a key management system and/or a hardware security module, for further protection. The salts may be concatenated into a binary large object prior to encryption. Methods and systems for updating of stored records comprising encrypted sensitive information are also described.

  • Patent number: 11099387
    Abstract: A device disclosed herein includes a display alignment sensing assembly positioned to receive a first signal output from a first display assembly and a second signal output from a second display assembly. A waveguide directs the second signal from the output of the second display assembly to the display alignment sensing assembly where the first signal and the second signal are merged into a combined signal received at an optical sensor. A display alignment tracker detects a positioning disparity between the first signal and the second signal within the combined signal and outputs a rendering position adjustment instruction to correct for the detected positioning disparity.
