Abstract: Described herein are techniques for automating media agent state management. For example, if a media agent is running poorly, then the media agent can be disabled and an alternate media agent can perform secondary copy job operations in place of the poorly running media agent. To determine whether a media agent is running poorly, a storage manager can determine whether the media agent has an anomalous number of failed jobs, pending jobs, and/or long running jobs and/or can determine whether the amount of resources used by the media agent is high or is increasing constantly, at a constant rate, or at a near constant rate.

Abstract: A leak in the membrane of a generally horizontal roof support deck includes dividing the membrane into separate zones and locating a sensor to detect moisture underneath the membrane. A unique digital code address is assigned to sensor where inputs of the sensors are connected to a single power and signaling cable system using a daisy chain. The serial bus controller is to interrogate each of the sensor devices using the address to identify zones where moisture is detected. A transmitting antenna is provided at each sensor which is switched on when moisture is detected for detecting of the sensor from above the membrane by a utility locate device to confirm the location of the sensor.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for traffic flow classification using machine learning. In some implementations, a communication device includes an anomaly detector comprising a machine learning model trained to predict whether data traffic patterns differ from a set of observed traffic patterns present in a set of training data. The communication device includes a traffic classifier comprising a machine learning model trained to predict a quality of service (QoS) class for network connections or data flows. The communication device is configured to evaluate network connections or data flows using the anomaly detector. The communication device may (i) use the traffic classifier to predict QoS classes for traffic that the anomaly detector predicts to be similar to the observed traffic patterns, and (ii) store data traffic that the anomaly detector predicts to be different from the observed traffic patterns.

In one aspect, a radio equipment includes memory having computer-readable instructions stored therein and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to receive at least one interference signal via an antenna of the radio; determine one or more layers characteristics of one or network layers used for transmission of signals for the radio; classify the interference signal using one or more features in the interference signal and the one or more layers characteristics; and determine an interference mitigation scheme for countering the interference signal.

Abstract: A process for activating tracking labels of an item tracking system that uses a printer to activate labels as they are printed for use. Electronic tracking labels may have a removable portion that breaks an electrical circuit when removed; breaking the circuit activates the label. A printer with a label cutter may be used when labels are prepared for use, and the printer may be configured to cut off the removable portion of the label during label printing. This method automates label activation as part of the label preparation process. The printer may be programmed to position the boundary between the removable portion of the label and the rest of the label under the cutter, for example using knowledge of the label's layout. A printed, activated label output from the printer may be placed directly on an item to be tracked.
