  • Publication number: 20210124839
    Abstract: When a user approaches or accesses a device, the device attempts to recognize the user. A multi-user note management system takes different actions based on whether the user is recognized as the owner of the device, is recognized as a known user of the device, or is determined to be an unknown user of the device. If the user is recognized as the owner or a known user, the system receives user input and stores the user input as a note. If the user is an unknown user, the system does not allow the user to leave a note at the device, or receives user input and captures an image of the user, and stores the user input as a note associated with the captured image. When the owner of the device unlocks the device after a note has been left, the system displays or otherwise presents the notes.

  • Publication number: 20210126969
    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.

    Abstract: Approaches for predicting parameters contributing to engine emissions are described. In an example, the values of control parameters may be obtained from the vehicle sensors. Based on the obtained values of the control parameters, estimated emission value may be determined pertaining to a correlation criterion reflecting a predetermined relationship between the obtained control parameter and engine emission. Further, the contribution index of each of the individual control parameters may be identified. Further, based on the estimated emission value and the contribution index, aggregated emission value corresponding to the exhausted emission from the engine for particular trip may be calculated.
