  • Route discovery in wireless mesh networks
    Patent number: 10588069
    Abstract: A method of route discovery in wireless mesh networks comprises: receiving, by a first mesh network device of a wireless mesh network, from a second mesh network device of the wireless mesh network, a first route request identifying a destination mesh network device of the wireless mesh network and a first path selection metric value; determining a path selection metric increment, wherein the path selection metric increment reflects a radio channel contention by the first mesh network device and the second mesh network device; generating a second path selection metric value by adding the path selection metric increment to the first path selection metric value; and broadcasting a second route request identifying the destination mesh network device and the second path selection metric value.

  • PULSED APPLICATION OF WORDLINE UNDERDRIVE (WLUD) FOR ENHANCING STABILITY OF STATIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (SRAM) OPERATION IN A LOW SUPPLY VOLTAGE ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20200075090
    Abstract: A wordline coupled to a memory cell is selected in connection with performing a read/write operation at the memory cell. A wordline signal is asserted on the selected wordline. The assertion of the wordline signal has a leading edge and a trailing edge and, between the leading edge and trailing edge, a series of wordline underdrive pulses. Each wordline underdrive pulse causes a wordline voltage to fall from a first voltage level to a second voltage level and then rise from the second voltage level to the first voltage level. The first and second voltage levels are both greater than a ground voltage of the memory cell.

  • Methods, mediums, and systems for provisioning application services
    Patent number: 10496432
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for improving startup times of a cloud-based virtual servers in response to a spike in service usage (although other applications are contemplated and described). According to some embodiments, in response to a request to provision a new virtual server in a cluster, high-priority services (e.g., those that enable the server to respond to system health checks or that support an application providing the service) are started while lower-priority services are delayed. In some embodiments, prior to receiving such a request, a new server may be started and then hibernated to create a “hot spare.” When the request is received, the hot spare may be taken out of hibernation to quickly bring the hot spare online. It is contemplated that the delayed-startup and hot spare embodiments may be used together to further improve performance.

  • REDUCING AN AMOUNT OF STORAGE USED TO STORE SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS
    Publication number: 20190342556
    Abstract: In some examples, a computing device may receive a request for a video segment captured by a particular camera, where the request specifies a date, a start time, and a length of the video segment. The computing device may identify stored data associated with the video segment in a storage device based on the date, the start time, the length, and an identifier associated with the particular camera and retrieve the stored data from the storage device. The computing device may determine that the stored data includes a subset of the video frames that were sent from the particular camera and excludes a remainder of the video frames and regenerate the remainder of the video frames based on the stored data to create regenerated data. The computing device may reconstruct the reconstructed video segment by merging the stored data with the regenerated data and provide the reconstructed video segment.
