Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to providing a per-application policy-controlled virtual private network (VPN) tunnel. In some embodiments, tickets may be used to provide access to an enterprise resource without separate authentication of the application and, in some instances, can be used in such a manner as to provide a seamless experience to the user when reestablishing a per-application policy controlled VPN tunnel during the lifetime of the ticket. Additional aspects relate to an access gateway providing updated policy information and tickets to a mobile device. Other aspects relate to selectively wiping the tickets from a secure container of the mobile device. Yet further aspects relate to operating applications in multiple modes, such as a managed mode and an unmanaged mode, and providing authentication-related services based on one or more of the above aspects.

Abstract: In the present solution, when a cluster node sends an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) request for an external internet protocol (IP), the node sends a message to all the other nodes, which are part of the Cluster Link Aggregation (CLAG) to expect an ARP reply for the IP. When a node in the cluster receives the ARP reply, the node informs the other nodes which are part of the same CLAG to update the Machine Access Control (MAC) address. Also when an ARP entry is learned/updated over a CLAG link as part of an ARP request/Gratuitous ARP, the node learning/updating the ARP entry will inform other nodes which are part of the same CLAG about the learned/updated ARP entry. Nodes in a cluster may communicate between with each other over a dedicated backplane, which may be a separate physical medium.

Abstract: A computer-executable ratiometric analysis method determines integer components of a rational number ratio or a close approximation of an irrational number ratio. In one embodiment the method uses a ratio of rotational speeds of two rotating assets in a machine or process, generates a new rational number based on the ratio of speeds, and calculates the integer components of the new rational number. The result is the integer ratio relationship between the initial two rational numbers. The method may be used in machinery analysis applications to determine whether a low-order integer ratio relationship exists between two machinery rotating components. Low-order integer ratio relationships in machinery are generally harmful in related machinery rotating components, and detection of such relationships is an important tool in preventing damage to machinery components.

Abstract: A power supply for use with Class D amplifiers in energy efficient applications is described herein. The power supply reduces the effects of off side charging and improves cross regulation. The topology of the power supply can be designed to minimize quiescent mode losses through resonant switching of some or all active switches. Additionally, the power supply can be implemented without external resonant inductors, the power supply can be implemented with smaller capacitors that have longer lifetime ratings, the switching losses present in a power factor correction stage of the power supply can be reduced, and/or a modified power factor correction choke can be utilized to reduce energy loss.

Abstract: Improved wheel removal tools may include a frame, one or more removal members movably coupled to the frame and one or more connection members coupled to a respective removal member. In operation, the frame may be attached to the wheel, such as at one or more wheel studs or bolts, and the connection members may be attached to the wheel, such as by engaging apertures in the wheel. The base may be configured to leverage the wheel studs—rather than the axle hub—during the wheel removal process. Once engaged with the wheel, the removal members may be moved away from the wheel by an operator so that the connection members pull the wheel to dislodge the seized wheel from the vehicle.

Abstract: A stepper motor assembly, for use in an instrument panel in some applications, has a first rotor, a second rotor, a set of first electromagnets, and a set of second electromagnets. Each electromagnet is disposed adjacent to one of the first and second rotors and is configured to generate a magnetic field to rotate the respective rotor. The first rotor is configured to rotate a first shaft, wherein the first shaft extends from a first side of the stepper motor assembly. The second rotor is configured to rotate a second shaft, wherein the second shaft extends from a second side of the stepper motor assembly. The second side is opposite the first side. The first and second shafts are rotatable independently about a single shaft axis.

Abstract: A method is described for the automatic determination of a planogram in a vending machine using image processing. Novel steps include the use of a Gaussian map in a two-dimensional color space, such as the HS plane, to create high-dimensionally color vectors for all and for selected portions of images. Multiple feature detection/extraction algorithms are run between multiple idealized reference images for a product and one image from one vending machine coil location. The large resulting candidate feature list is pruned in a series of steps using both color and gray-scale color vectors and small area image matching around features. Remaining candidate features are ranked by a RANSAC outlier removal step, with the top ranked product then being the correct product in that coil in the planogram. Steps are repeated for all coils in a vending machine.

Abstract: Performing data management operations on replicated data in a computer network. Log entries are generated for data management operations of an application executing on a source system. Consistency point entries are used to indicate a time of a known good, or recoverable, state of the application. A destination system is configured to process a copy of the log and consistency point entries to replicate data in a replication volume, the replicated data being a copy of the application data on the source system. When the replicated data represents a known good state of the application, as determined by the consistency point entries, the destination system(s) may perform a storage operation (e.g., snapshot, backup) to copy the replicated data and to logically associate the copied data with a time information (e.g., time stamp) indicative of the source system time when the application was in the known good state.
