Abstract: A technique monitors input/output (I/O) and Persistent Reservation (PR) activity patterns to detect degraded performance of a highly available and fault tolerant application executing in a multi-site disaster recovery (DR) environment. Multiple instances of the application execute in different virtual machines (VMs) of a compute layer within a guest clustering configuration that extends across clusters of the sites. A storage layer of the clusters provides shared storage to the multiple VMs across the multiple sites. One of the sites is configured as an active storage site configured to receive and service I/O requests from the compute layer. A single instance of the application is active at a time and configured as a “compute owner” of the shared storage to issue the I/O requests to the shared storage. The compute owner and active storage site may not be co-located on the same site, leading to excessive I/O and PR activity patterns indicative of degraded performance.

Abstract: Conventional transport mode detection relies either on GPS data or uses supervised learning for transport mode detection, requiring labelled data with hand crafted features. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for identification of transport modes of commuters via unsupervised learning implemented using a multistage learner. Unlabeled time series data received from accelerometer of commuters mobiles from a diversified population is processed using a unique journey segment detection technique to eliminate redundant data corresponding to stationary segments of commuter or user. The non-stationary journey segments are represented using domain generalizable Invariant Auto-Encoded Compact Sequence (I-AECS), which is a learned compact representation encompassing the encoded best diversity and commonality of latent feature representation across diverse users and cities.

Abstract: An anti-buckling device is provided. The anti-buckling device comprises: a plurality of modular segments, and each modular segment comprises a cap and a tube. The cap comprises a support feature configured for supporting an elongate member and the tube comprises a coupling feature configured for engaging a given modular segment with another modular segment.

Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein include sidewall coring tools used to return core samples of rock from a sidewall of a wellbore as part of a data collection exercise for exploration and production of hydrocarbons. In particular, the systems and methods presented herein perform sidewall coring of a subterranean formation using a combination of rotary and percussive coring. More specifically, the systems and methods presented herein rotate a coring cylinder of a sidewall coring tool back and forth less than a full rotation while pushing the coring cylinder of the sidewall coring tool against a bore wall of a wellbore, and push the coring cylinder of the sidewall coring tool into the subterranean formation to enable extraction of a core sample of the subterranean formation.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for user profile management across multiple devices. A method may include determining, by a first device, that the first device is signed into a customer account; determining that the customer account includes a first user profile and a second user profile, the first user profile having first identity data, and the second user profile having second identity data; determining that third identity data for the first user profile is available for presentation, the third identity data based on a user interaction with a second device; determining that the first user profile is enrolled on the first device; presenting the first identity data using the first device; receiving a second user request to access the first user profile; and presenting, using the first device, content based on the second user request and a user preference associated with the first user profile.

Abstract: This Application describes mechanisms to transfer cellular service plans and associated credentials efficiently between wireless devices. Information regarding transferability of cellular services for SIMs/eSIMs to a wireless device are obtained from locally stored or remotely accessible cellular service information and/or associated mobile network operator (MNO) information. Access to network-based servers to determine transferability and/or to effect transfer can use non-cellular connections when available. Transferability information can be presented to a user to narrow selection of cellular service plans to transfer.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods to transfer user preferences for cellular wireless service associated credentials transferred from a source device to a target device. Transfer of credentials can include physically moving a physical subscriber identity module (SIM) card between devices, transfer of cellular wireless service from a first SIM card at the source device to a second SIM card at the target device, and/or transfer of cellular wireless services for one or more electronic SIMs (eSIMs) from the source device to the target device. Preferences associated with some or all of the transferred SIMs/eSIMs can be applied at the target device when certain matching criteria are satisfied. Exemplary matching criteria include matching identifiers, such as integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) values, mobile station international subscriber directory number (MSISDN) values, and/or mappings thereof.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to managing access to an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) to obtain subscriber identity module (SIM) information without requiring cellular baseband wireless processing support. A baseband component of a wireless device that connects to the eUICC via a first interface can be in a reduced power state, and under certain conditions a processor external to the eUICC can access the eUICC via a second interface without booting up the baseband component to a normal (full) power state. When access to the eUICC via the first interface through the baseband component is required, the baseband component can be booted to a normal (full) power state to communicate with the eUICC. Additionally, a wireless device in which the baseband component is in a reduced power state or is absent can access one or more services of a mobile network operator (MNO) via a non-cellular wireless interface.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to transfer of credentials between two mobile wireless devices that are within proximity of each other, via a secure local connection, or via a network-based cloud service, where the two mobile wireless devices are not in proximity to each other. Transfer of credentials can include communication between a source device, a target device, and/or one more network-based servers, which can include mobile network operator (MNO) managed servers, such as an entitlement server, a web-sheet server, an authentication server, a provisioning server, a subscription management data preparation (SM-DP+) server, a home subscriber server (HSS), and/or an authentication server, as well as third-party managed servers, such as a cloud service server and/or an identification services server. Authentication can be based at least in part on one or more tokens and/or a trust flag obtained by the source device and provided to the target device.
