Abstract: An application within a virtual machine is an iSCSI Initiator and is allowed to use as an iSCSI Target another virtual machine within the same hypervisor in order to make a persistent reservation for a virtual disk within a remotely-located storage platform. Any number of virtual machines within different hypervisors, and perhaps on different computers, use a local controller virtual machine to make a persistent reservation for the same virtual disk. The registration list and the current reservation holder data for an iSCSI persistent reservation for a particular virtual disk are held on a storage node of the storage platform rather than within a single virtual machine of a remote computer. A metadata module on the storage platform handles the incoming requests. A coordinator module within the storage platform uses a lock mechanism to guarantee that the reserve, release, preempt and clear commands are handled properly.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for steering network traffic using dynamically generated configuration scripts. A first device may generate a configuration script for an application on the client for connecting with a server. The configuration script may specify the application to establish a direct connection or an indirect connection with the server. The first device may provide the configuration script to be invoked by the application to identify a first address to access the server based on a determination to establish the direct connection or the indirect connection. The first device may receive, from the client, an initiation request to connect with the server including the first address. The first device may determine second address by applying a routing policy to the first address. The first device may establish one of the direct connection or the indirect connection using the second address.

Abstract: A handheld, portable device is used to facilitate inspection of vehicles, by generating an electronic vehicle inspection record that can be used by fleet operators to provide evidence of complying with required vehicle inspections. When the vehicle inspection record is generated, route identification data is added to the inspection record. The route identification data defines which of a plurality of predefined routes the vehicle has serviced, or will service, during a time period proximate the inspection of the vehicle. Fleet operators can thus use archived inspection records as evidence of compliance with inspection requirements, and to document what route a vehicle serviced at a particular time.

Abstract: Gas generator including means to provide a pressurized gas, a gas exit portion and a throttle member located in said gas exit portion, having one or more openings for the passage of said gas and being deformable by a gas flowing through said throttle when the pressure of said gas is above a predetermined pressure, to prevent or reduce gas flow.

Abstract: Systems and methods for autonomous program management include a device which may transmit data to a client in response to a first request from the client. The data may include a response to the first request and a copy of data available to the device corresponding to the first request or the client. The device may receive a second request including the copy of data from the client. The device may determine that the second request is from an autonomous program rather than a user of the client based on the copy of data from the second request. The device may block at least one subsequent request from the client in response to the determination that the second request is from an autonomous program.

Abstract: A television advertising management system that handles a plurality of deals for a plurality of advertiser, determines which of the plurality of deals have a guaranteed audience, and are under delivering, and allocates reserve under delivery units to each of the plurality of deals that are under delivering to bring each of the plurality of deals that are under delivering to corresponding attainable lower targets while honoring corresponding deal constraints. An under delivery value is maximized such that the attainable lower targets are met, while honoring corresponding deal constraints to provide an allocation solution, and a total penalty from deviations from selling title mix distributions, and weekly distributions is minimized for each of the plurality of deals that are under delivering subject to an additional lower bound on the under delivery value.

Abstract: A method for determining a communication path of millimeter wave signal and measurement device using the method includes a first measuring device and a second measuring device. The first measurement device queries a list to determine a first AOD of the first measurement device corresponding to a LOS, and controls the array antenna of the first measurement device to send the millimeter wave signal at the first AOD of the first measurement device corresponding to the LOS to the second measurement device. The second measurement device queries the list to determine a first AOA of the second measurement device corresponding to the LOS, and controls the array antenna of the second measurement device to receive the millimeter wave signal at the first AOA of the first measurement device corresponding to the LOS. Thus, a downlink between the first measurement device and the second measurement device can be quickly established.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems, methods and computer implemented instructions for prioritizing sequential application tasks. A system receives, from an application, a sequence of tasks to be performed by users using clients. The system identifies a first user to perform a first task in the sequence of tasks, and a second user to perform a second task in the sequence of tasks that is subsequent to the first task. The system determines the state of a first client of the first user and a state of a second client of the second user. The system establishes a rank for the first task based on the states of the first client and the second client. The system provides, to the first client, the rank for the first task and the state of the second client. The system generates a graphical user interface indicating the rank and state of the second client.

Abstract: A bio-sensor device, integrated with a display portion, includes a surface for touching by a body part, such as a finger. A light source, such as an array of LEDs, emit light through the surface so as to be reflected and partially absorbed by the body part An array of photodetectors detects light reflected back by the body part and generates signals corresponding to an image of the light reflection, which corresponds to the light absorption pattern in the body part. The light absorption pattern may correlate to a fingerprint, a blood vessel pattern, blood movement within the blood vessels, combinations thereof, or other biometric feature. A processor receives the signals from the photodetectors and analyzes the signals to determine a characteristic of the body part. The characteristic may be used to authenticate the user of the bio-sensor device by comparing the detected characteristic to a stored characteristic.
