  • Patent number: 10956274
    Abstract: Described in detail herein are systems and methods for single instancing blocks of data in a data storage system. For example, the data storage system may include multiple computing devices (e.g., client computing devices) that store primary data. The data storage system may also include a secondary storage computing device, a single instance database, and one or more storage devices that store copies of the primary data (e.g., secondary copies, tertiary copies, etc.). The secondary storage computing device receives blocks of data from the computing devices and accesses the single instance database to determine whether the blocks of data are unique (meaning that no instances of the blocks of data are stored on the storage devices). If a block of data is unique, the single instance database stores it on a storage device. If not, the secondary storage computing device can avoid storing the block of data on the storage devices.

  • Patent number: 10958640
    Abstract: Methods and systems for faster and more efficient smart card logon in a remote computing environment are described herein. Fast smart card logon may be used to reduce latency and improve security. For example, the system may reduce the number of operations (e.g., interactions) between a server device used for authentication and the client device. A remoting channel may be established between the server device and the client device. The server may receive, from the client device and/or via a personal computer/smart card (PC/SC) protocol, a message comprising an identifier for a smart card. The server device may replace the identifier for the smart card with a substitute identifier. Based on the substitute identifier, the server may determine one or more cryptographic service providers to use for one or more cryptographic operations associated with the smart card.

  • Patent number: 10955532
    Abstract: A lightweight, inexpensive LADAR sensor incorporating 3-D focal plane arrays is adapted specifically for modular manufacture and rapid field configurability and provisioning. The sensor generates, at high speed, 3-D image maps and object data at short to medium ranges. The techniques and structures described may be used to extend the range of long range systems as well, though the focus is on compact, short to medium range ladar sensors suitable for use in multi-sensor television production systems and 3-D graphics capture and moviemaking. 3-D focal plane arrays are used in a variety of physical configurations to provide useful new capabilities.

  • Patent number: 10958344
    Abstract: A method of interference suppression with intermodulation distortion mitigation includes processing an RF signal comprising an RF signal of interest and an RF interfering signal to produce a first and second RF drive signal each with a desired RF interference signal power and having a 90 degree relative phase. The first RF drive signal is imposed onto a first optical signal with a modulator to generate a first modulated optical signal so that the modulator has a large-signal behavior that is characterized by a Bessel function of the first kind J1(?), wherein the desired power at a frequency of the interference signal of the first drive signal is chosen to correspond to a zero of the Bessel function of the first kind J1(?).

  • Patent number: 10956352
    Abstract: A method for detecting and identifying modules of a bus system is provided. The bus system includes a control unit, a bus starting from the control unit, and a plurality of modules connected to the bus. The method includes providing a current sink associated with each of the one or more modules. The current sink includes a transistor. The method includes providing a hall sensor associated with each of the one or more modules. The hall sensor detects a current on a low-side data line of the bus. For each one of the one or more modules: when the hall sensor detects a current on the low-side data line, the method includes maintaining a closed position of the transistor; and when the hall sensor fails to detect a current on the low-side data line, the method includes opening the transistor such that current does not flow to the module.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for detecting UAVs in an RF environment are disclosed. An apparatus is constructed and configured for network communication with at least one camera. The at least one camera captures images of the RF environment and transmits video data to the apparatus. The apparatus receives RF data and generates FFT data based on the RF data, identifies at least one signal based on a first derivative and a second derivative of the FFT data, measures a direction from which the at least one signal is transmitted, analyzes the video data. The apparatus then identifies at least one UAV to which the at least one signal is related based on the analyzed video data, the RF data, and the direction from which the at least one signal is transmitted, and controls the at least one camera based on the analyzed video data.
