Abstract: Multi-site distributed storage systems and computer-implemented methods are described for improving a resumption time of input/output (I/O) operations during a common snapshot procedure for storage objects. A computer-implemented method includes initiating a snapshot multi create operation to selectively form a batch of first and second synchronous replicated datasets that belong to a first group of storage disks at the primary storage site and corresponding second group of storage disks at the secondary storage site, performing a batch snapshot create operation on the primary storage site by executing snapshots of storage objects on the primary storage site of the batch of first and second synchronous replicated datasets in parallel multiple threads to effectively utilize processing resources on the primary storage site, and initiating an independent workflow and state machine for each storage object of the batch of first and second synchronous replicated datasets.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for efficiently performing various operations at the granularity of a consistency group (CG) within a cross-site storage solution. An example of one of the various operations includes an independent and parallel resynchronization approach that independently brings individual volumes of a CG to a steady state of in-synchronization (InSync), thereby contributing to scalability of CGs by supporting CGs having a large number of member volumes without requiring a change to the resynchronization process. Another example includes preserving dependent write-order consistency when a remote mirror copy goes out-of-synchronization (OOS) for any reason by driving all member volumes OOS responsive to any member volume becoming OOS. Yet another example includes independent creation of snapshots by member volumes to support efficient and on-demand creation by an application of a common snapshots of all or a subset of peered member volumes of a CG with which the application is associated.

Abstract: A circuit provides fail safe protection of an input/output (I/O) circuit of a chip. The I/O circuit comprises an I/O pad connected to one or more other chips via an I/O bus. The circuit comprise a supply and failsafe detector component. The supply and failsafe detector component generates an I/O supply output signal. The I/O supply output signal has a low voltage value when the I/O supply voltage of the chip is below a medium voltage level and the I/O supply output signal having a high voltage value when the I/O supply voltage of the chip is above the medium voltage level. The medium voltage is above a threshold voltage of the transistor of the I/O circuit and below the high voltage value. The circuit uses the I/O supply output signal to provide a reference voltage as input to the transistor of the I/O circuit.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of security systems and discloses a tamper detection device. The device (100) comprises at least one transducer (106,110), a power supply unit (114), a logical gate (112), a processing unit (104), and a tamper tag 102).

Abstract: Techniques described enable a modular communication card to alert of its removal from a device. A method described herein includes monitoring, at a modular communication card for sending communications from a utility meter, a power fail signal received from a card of the utility meter. According to the method, the modular communication card monitors a power supply signal that supplies power to components of the modular communication card while the modular communication card is installed on the utility meter. The method includes detecting a change in the power fail signal, indicating a loss of power. The method further includes detecting that the power supply signal is outside an operational voltage range. The method further includes, responsive to the change and the power supply signal being outside, determining that the modular communication card has been removed from the utility meter. Additionally, the method includes transmitting an alert indicating the removal.

Abstract: A tool for delivering bio-compatible solid, fluid or mixed solid and fluid substances to an operating site within a patient. The tool has a tubular body or barrel with a central longitudinal through hole and a flow control valve for selectively allowing material to flow from a holding chamber within the barrel through an extender tip to a dispensing end of the tool. A plunger having a piston at one end may be inserted through the dispensing end of the barrel and drawn distally to aspirate material into the holding chamber using a syringe attached to the proximal end of the barrel, after which the valve is closed to retain the material in the chamber. The plunger, which fits into the through hole from either end of the barrel, is then removed and re-inserted into the proximal end of the barrel, the barrel valve is opened, and the plunger is pushed to move the material in the holding chamber through the extender tip and out the distal end of the barrel.
