Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for implementing instant corruption detection and recovery. A plurality of streams may be created in a storage device. Each of the plurality of streams may contain a sequence of metadata nodes of a same type. Each of the plurality of streams may maintain an initial state, a sequence of delta modifications to the initial state, and an actual state for each of the sequence of metadata nodes. A checking and recovery function associated with a particular stream among the plurality of streams may be determined. The checking and recovery function may comprise checking logic configured to detect corruptions by checking modification operations associated with metadata nodes in the particular stream. The checking and recovery function may further comprise recovery logic configured to perform recoveries from the corruptions. The checking and recovery function associated with the particular stream may be implemented in the storage device.

Abstract: Register banks are used to allow for fast beam switching in a phased array system. Each beam forming channel is associated with a register bank containing M register sets for configuring such things as gain/amplitude and phase parameters of the beam forming channel. The register banks for all beam forming channels can be pre-programmed and then fast beam switching circuitry allows all beam forming channels across the array to be switched to use the same register set from its corresponding register bank at substantially the same time, thereby allowing the phased array system to be quickly switched between various beam patterns and orientations. Active power control circuitry may be used to control the amount of electrical power provided to or consumed by one or more individual beam forming channels such as to reduce DC power consumption of the array and/or to selectively change the effective directivity of the array.

Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to detecting reflective surfaces for use reflecting a signal from access point equipment to destination equipment in advanced networks, e.g., at least a fifth generation (5G) network. For example, a method described herein can include receiving a request, from access point equipment, to establish a communications session between the access point equipment and destination equipment. The method can further include based on a source of surface information, predicting that a transient reflective surface is going to be located at a first geographic location and is going to be usable by the access point equipment to reflect a signal to the destination equipment, resulting in reflected path information corresponding to a reflected path for the communications session. Further, the method can include, in response to the request, communicating to the access point equipment, the reflected path information.

Abstract: A control device may be configured to transmit messages using an adaptive transmit power. The control device may determine a transmit power for transmitting the message based on a command in the message. The control device may determine a transmit power based on a change in lighting intensity caused by the command. The transmit power may be greater when the change in lighting intensity is above a threshold than when the change in light intensity is below the threshold. The control device may determine whether the message was successfully received based on the receipt of an acknowledgement message. The control device may increase the transmit power when the message fails to be received and retransmit the message including the command at an increased transmit power. The control device may store (e.g., learn) the increased transmit power for later use.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to a database recovery routine to start up a database system in response to a database failure. The database system accesses checkpoint information identifying a set of active database transactions that were active at a flush point that occurred before the database failure. As a part of the database recovery routine, the database system replays database transactions that occurred between a recovery point and the flush point. The database transactions include the set of active database transactions but exclude any committed or aborted database transactions that occurred between the recovery point and the flush point such that less than a total number of database transactions occurring between the recovery point and the flush point are replayed. The database system further replays, without excluding committed or aborted database transactions, database transactions occurring between the flush point and a recovery end point at which the database failure occurred.
