Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein relate to an improved information management system that can perform platform-agnostic containerized application data protection. In one embodiment, the information management system receives a user's credentials to a container orchestrator along with an indication of whether or not to deploy a backup pod. Using the user credentials, the information management system accesses the container orchestrator, and if the user has requested deployment of a backup pod on the user's cluster, the information management system may do so using a backup pod specification and allow the backup pod to perform data protection operations, using a platform-agnostic interface (e.g., container storage interface), for application data accessible by the user applications on the user's pod on the user's cluster. Alternatively, if the user has not requested deployment of a backup pod, the information management system may perform data protection operations using provider-specific interface.

Abstract: An information management system provides a data deduplication system that uses a primary table, a deduplication chunk table, and a chunk integrity table to ensure that a referenced deduplicated data block is only verified once during the data verification of a backup or other replication operation. The data deduplication system may reduce the computational and storage overhead associated with traditional data verification processes. The primary table, the deduplication chunk table, and the chunk integrity table, all of which may be stored in a deduplication database, can also ensure synchronization between the deduplication database and secondary storage devices.

Abstract: An illustrative ISCSI server computing device provides user computing devices with “private writable snapshots” of a desired volume of data and/or further provides “private writable backup copies.” The ISCSI service is provided without invoking snapshot limits imposed by storage arrays and further without specialized backup software and pseudo-disk drivers installed on the user computing devices. A user can browse as well as edit personal versions of any number and/or versions of block-level backup copies—the “private writable backup copies.” Likewise, a user can browse and edit personal versions of any number of snapshots of one or more versions of one or more desired data volumes—the “private writable snapshots.” A user can have any number of co-existing private writable snapshots and private writable backup copies. Sparse files, extent-files, software snapshots, and/or media agents co-residing on the ISCSI server are used in the illustrative embodiments.

These baffles extend downward into the bucket to interfere with swirl in the bucket from dust discharged from the cyclone. The baffles may be radial ribs alternating with ramped coffers. The lid may be formed of anti-static polypropylene.

Abstract: A distributed, deduplicated storage system according to certain embodiments is arranged in a parallel configuration including multiple deduplication nodes. Deduplicated data is distributed across the deduplication nodes. The deduplication nodes can be networked together and communicate with one another according using a light-weight, customized communication scheme (e.g., a scheme based on FTP or HTTP). In some cases, deduplication management information including deduplication signatures and/or other metadata is stored separately from the deduplicated data in deduplication management nodes, improving performance and scalability.

Abstract: A latch system includes a releasably secured latch or keeper and a solenoid assembly. The solenoid assembly has a solenoid driver coupled to a power supply, a switching circuit connected with the solenoid driver, and a function generator to selectively adjust a frequency of a pick current output from the power supply and provided to the solenoid driver. The frequency is adjusted until the pick current induces a resulting vibration of said latch system sufficient to free a preloaded latch or keeper. The adjusted frequency may be a target frequency or a range of frequencies. Also included may be a preload sensor. When a preload is sensed, the frequency may be adjusted by the function generator until the pick current induces a resulting vibration of said latch system sufficient to free a preloaded latch or keeper.

Abstract: According to certain aspects, a system includes a client device that includes a virtual machine (VM) executed by a hypervisor, a driver located within the hypervisor, and a data agent. The VM may include a virtual hard disk file and a change block bitmap file. According to some embodiments the driver intercepts write operations generated by the VM to store data in a sector, determines an identity of the sector based on the intercepted write operation, determines an entry in the change block bitmap file that corresponds with the first sector, and modifies the entry in the change block bitmap file to indicate that data in that sector has changed. The data agent may generate an incremental backup of the VM based on the change block bitmap file in response to an instruction from a storage manager, where the incremental backup includes the data in the sector where data was modified.

Abstract: A projectile 360, 460 includes a body having a distal ogive section with external ballistic effect uniforming surface discontinuity (e.g., nose ring groove 369, 469) defined therein to provide an unsupported gap in the ogive profile which affects the flow of air over the front half of the ogive to provide greater aerodynamic uniformity and shot-to-shot consistency with more uniform observed external ballistics and superior terminal ballistics. The bullet's external surface discontinuity feature (369 or 469) creates effects in the flowfield that dominate any dynamic effects from bullet-to-bullet manufacturing inconsistency and resultant differences in dynamic behavior.

Abstract: Devices and methods obtain and use endovascular electrograms (or electrocardiograms/ECGs) in a number of clinical applications and settings. In one embodiment, a method for locating an indwelling medical device within a vasculature of a patient includes identifying a P-wave segment in an endovascular ECG signal associated with the indwelling medical device, then calculating a positive energy value relating to an amount of energy of the P-wave segment above a baseline of the endovascular ECG signal and a negative energy value relating to an amount of energy of the P-wave segment below a baseline of the endovascular ECG signal. A position of the medical device within the vasculature can be determined using at least one of the positive energy value and the negative energy value in a graphical user interface.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for discovering dynamic path maximum transmission unit (PMTU) between a sending computing device and a receiving computing device (e.g., a client device and a host device) are described herein. A sending computing device may iteratively transmit bursts of probe packets, each burst being defined by a search range between a maximum packet size and a minimum packet size. The sending computing device may iteratively update the search range based on the previous iteration until the search converges on the PMTU. When the PMTU is discovered, each of the computing devices may update their transport and presentation layer buffers based on the discovered PMTU without any other protocol level disruption. In a multi-path scenario, the computing device may discover PMTU for each of the paths and select a performance optimal path based on the individual PMTUs and other network characteristics such as loss, latency, and throughput.

Abstract: Methods and systems for performing real time digital content concealment are described herein. A computing device may, in response to detecting a user within view of an image capture device of a client device, perform a first type of text recognition on a first region of digital content and a second type of text recognition on a second region of the digital content, where the first type of text recognition is determined based on a first type of content items contained in the first region and the second type of text recognition is determined based on a second type of content items contained in the second region. Based at least in part on rules corresponding to the user, the computing device may determine content items within the digital content to be concealed, and may modify the digital content to conceal the content items.
