Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein reduce or eliminate a communication bottleneck at the storage manager by reducing communication with the storage manager while maintaining functionality of an information management system. In some implementations, a client obtains information for enabling a secondary storage job (e.g., a backup or restore) from a storage manager and stores the information (which may be referred to as job metadata) in a local cache. The client may then reuse the job metadata for multiple storage jobs reducing the frequency of communication with the storage manager. When a configuration of the information management system changes, or the availability of resources changes, the storage manager can push updates to the job metadata to the clients. Further, a client can periodically request updated job metadata from the storage manager ensuring that the client does not rely on out-of-date job metadata.

In a further embodiment, the modulation of signals, data types carried by the signals, and estimated signal origins may be identified.

Abstract: An illustrative data storage management system uses a control layer that controls information content presented to users and ensures information privacy between diverse tenants and/or resellers who share the system. The system populates a relationship database as transactions roll in (intake processing), and uses information in the relationship database later when processing responses (output processing). The relationship database comprises associations between e.g., a company ID and any number of entities that were created by or on behalf of the company or that are related to the company's service in the system. The control layer parses raw results that are responsive to requests for information and prevents others' information from being included in the responsive message(s). The techniques disclosed herein are not limited to shared systems managed by service providers, and may be implemented in fully owned and operated systems to add security and privacy among diverse users and/or departments.

Abstract: Techniques for controlling the output of a power amplifier are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system that includes a power amplifier and a controller coupled to the power amplifier to form a feedback loop. The power amplifier is enabled or disabled in response to a blanking signal. The controller includes an accumulator that stores an accumulated error of the feedback loop. The controller suspends operation of the accumulator when (1) a level of the input signal is below a first threshold for an amount of time that exceeds a second threshold, (2) the blanking signal indicates that the power amplifier is disabled, or (3) both. The controller resumes operation of the accumulator when (1) the level of the input signal is above the first threshold and (2) the blanking signal indicates that the power amplifier is enabled.
