  • Patent number: 11165727
    Abstract: Technologies are presented directed to uploading of attachments to a relevant group cloud storage at send time. A communication application and/or service may suggest to a user to upload an attachment of an outgoing communication to a group cloud storage upon generation of the communication. Suggestion of group may be based on last use, document type, content, user(s), which account the user is in, and comparable factors. The user (or sender) may also be provided with options to set permissions for the attachment based on the upload destination selection. In some examples, upload of work documents to personal cloud storage may be prevented and suitable groups may be selected for user that are part of multiple groups.

  • Patent number: 11163718
    Abstract: A memory log retrieval and provisioning system includes a server device that is coupled to a support system via a network. The server device includes a memory device having at least one memory log. A memory log retrieval and provisioning subsystem is coupled to the memory device, and determines that a memory log retrieval event has occurred in the server device. In response to determining that the memory log retrieval event has occurred, the memory log retrieval and provisioning subsystem automatically retrieves the at least one memory log from the memory device without receiving user instructions subsequent to detecting the memory log retrieval event. The memory log retrieval and provisioning subsystem then automatically transmits the at least one memory log through the network to the support system without receiving user instructions subsequent to automatically retrieving the at least one memory log.

  • Patent number: 11153230
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for deploying different virtual networks over several public cloud datacenters for different entities. For each entity, the method (1) identifies a set of public cloud datacenters of one or more public cloud providers to connect a set of machines of the entity, (2) deploys managed forwarding nodes (MFNs) for the entity in the identified set of public cloud datacenters, and then (3) configures the MFNs to implement a virtual network that connects the entity's set of machines across its identified set of public cloud datacenters. In some embodiments, the method identifies the set of public cloud datacenters for an entity by receiving input from the entity's network administrator. In some embodiments, this input specifies the public cloud providers to use and/or the public cloud regions in which the virtual network should be defined. Conjunctively, or alternatively, this input in some embodiments specifies actual public cloud datacenters to use.

  • Patent number: 11131124
    Abstract: An opening device for a motor vehicle latch with a trigger which can be moved from a starting position into an opening position for pivoting of a triggering lever from a starting position into an opening position and which is connected with an inertia component by a deflectable knee lever, with a blockade lever, which can be moved by deflection of the knee lever from a starting position into a blocking position, whereby the movement of the triggering lever into the opening position is prevented when the blockade lever is in its blocking position, whereby the knee lever is deflected by excessive acceleration of the trigger and the blockade lever is thus moved into its blocking position.

  • Patent number: 11115374
    Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes detecting by a first network element at a first data center site a local connection of an endpoint identifier (“EID”), in which the EID was previously locally connected to a second network element at a second data center site and notifying a mapping server of the local connection of the EID to the first network element. The method further includes receiving from the mapping server identifying information for the second network element and communicating with the second network element using the identifying information to obtain service information for traffic associated with the EID. The method may also include applying a service identified by the service information to outgoing traffic from the EID as well as applying a service identified by the service information to incoming traffic for the EID.

  • Patent number: 11032180
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a health monitor that establishes and monitors a set of alive endpoints to be used as substitutes for a dead working window endpoints. The health monitor periodically monitors substitution endpoints. When a request manager determines that a working window endpoint is dead, the request manager sends a request to the health monitor for a substitute endpoint. The health monitor receives the request and identifies an appropriate substitution endpoint from the health monitor endpoints to provide to the request manager to substitute for the dead endpoint. The health monitor releases the identified substitution endpoint to the request manager.
