Abstract: Multispectral imaging and related techniques are provided to detect thermal and non-thermal anomalies at reduced false detection rates. A multispectral imaging system includes an infrared light imaging sensor that captures infrared image data in a first spectral band, of a scene and an ultraviolet light imaging sensor that captures ultraviolet image data in a second spectral band, of the scene. The system also includes a processor that combines the ultraviolet image data and the infrared image data to generate composite image data, determines a ratio of a first radiant intensity in the first spectral band to a second radiant intensity in the second spectral band, from the composite image data, and determines whether the ratio corresponds to a predetermined radiant intensity ratio of a known thermal or electrical anomaly. The processor can detect the thermal or electrical anomaly when the determined ratio corresponds to the predetermined radiant intensity ratio.

Abstract: A computing system includes an array of configurable units made up of sub-arrays of configurable units. Each sub-array has a first number of configurable compute units and a second number of configurable memory units with a first spatial arrangement. Each configurable unit includes a configuration data store. The system also includes a statically configurable bus system coupled to the configurable units and a tag indicating a sub-array of configurable units having a defect. A defect-aware configuration controller sends configuration data to the configuration data stores to implement a data processing operation using the array of configurable units by generating static route control signals for the statically configurable bus system, based on the tag and without support of a host processor, to send a portion of the configuration data targeted to the sub-array having the defect to a configuration data store of an alternative sub-array of configurable units in the array.

Abstract: Protecting configuration data in a clustered container system may include, in some embodiments, protecting an ETCD data store in a Kubernetes cluster. A data storage management system addresses the unique needs of protecting an ETCD data store of a target Kubernetes cluster, as well as protecting non-ETCD data payloads. The illustrative data storage management system defines ETCD as a unique kind of workload. ETCD protection is integrated within the data storage management system, which automatically creates data structures and resources within the system for, and provides special-purpose features to protect, ETCD contents and associated security certificates. One of the special-purpose features deploys a temporary data transfer agent within the target Kubernetes cluster to safeguard an ETCD snapshot and transmit its contents, along with the security certificates, to a backup infrastructure that operates outside of the target Kubernetes cluster.

Abstract: A method of operating a wireless cellular communication system includes: operating one of an eNB or gNB communicating with a set of user equipments (UEs); and scheduling, using a scheduler, uplink (UL) auto-grants to the set of the UEs when selected resources are available, the selected resources including Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) resource, Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resource and scheduler capacity. The scheduler determines at least two UEs in RRC-connected mode and having zero UL buffer count, at least one of the two UEs with downlink (DL) traffic present and at least one of the two UEs without DL traffic present. The scheduler selects a set of RRC-connected UEs with zero UL buffer count for which UL auto-grants can be scheduled with a designated number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) and designated Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS).

Abstract: A modular tile for a walkway system interlocks with another tile to constrain movement of the interlocked tiles in all three-dimensions. The tile includes a male projection which may be tapered to provide lateral wings that are received in corresponding pockets of a female receiver of the other tile. The wings may include vertically-facing male stop surfaces that are engageable with vertically-facing female stop surfaces within the pockets. The male projection may further include a forwardly protruding ridge that is received in a corresponding groove of the female receiver of the other tile. The engagement of the stop surfaces of the wings and pockets, and the engagement of the ridge in the groove is such that the tiles are vertically interlocked with each other. The tiles may be configured to enable a pivotable interlocking connection while one tile remains on the ground.

Abstract: A streamlined approach analyzes block-level backups of VM virtual disks and creates both coarse and fine indexes of backed up VM data files in the block-level backups. The indexes (collectively the “content index”) enable granular searching by filename, by file attributes (metadata), and/or by file contents, and further enable granular live browsing of backed up VM files. Thus, by using the illustrative data storage management system, ordinary block-level backups of virtual disks are “opened to view” through indexing. Any block-level copies can be indexed according to the illustrative embodiments, including file system block-level copies. The indexing occurs offline in an illustrative data storage management system, after VM virtual disks are backed up into block-level backup copies, and therefore the indexing does not cut into the source VM's performance. The disclosed approach is widely applicable to VMs executing in cloud computing environments and/or in non-cloud data centers.
