  • Patent number: 12259848
    Abstract: A distributed storage system may synchronously apply an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) policy to objects at ingest. In one embodiment of synchronous ILM, three options are available for a user: balanced, strict, and dual commit. Dual commit refers to the behavior where one will always create two replicated copies in the same site and then apply ILM asynchronously. Strict refers to the behavior where the storage system attempts to apply the ILM policy synchronously on ingest, and if the storage system cannot the ingest of the object will fail. This ensures that the storage system can guarantee that ILM has been applied to recently ingested objects. Balanced refers to the behavior where the storage system attempts to apply ILM synchronously, but if the storage system cannot the storage system may fall-back to dual-commit.

  • Patent number: 11896902
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for changing music of a video game based on a player's emotion. The method includes receiving indicators of emotion comprising in-game attributes of a player in a video game. The method also includes predicting an emotion of the player based on the indicators of emotion from the video game. The method also includes receiving original music from the video game. The method also includes determining an original tone of the original music. The method also includes determining a transformed tone based at least in part on the emotion of the player that was predicted. The method also includes transforming the original tone of the original music to the transformed tone. The method also includes generating transformed music from the original music based on the transformed tone.

  • Publication number: 20240013966
    Abstract: An integrated magnetic component has a common magnetic core portion having a first magnetic base and a second magnetic base that is spaced in a first direction from the first magnetic base; a first magnetic core column and a second magnetic core column, which extend between the first and second magnetic bases and spaced with each other along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first magnetic core column and the second magnetic core column and the first and second magnetic bases form a closed magnetic path. The first magnetic core column and the second magnetic core column have windings forming one or more common mode chokes. A middle magnetic core portion has an air gap being provided in an extension direction of the middle magnetic core portion which is made of high saturation magnetic material, and has a winding forming a decoupling inductor.

  • Publication number: 20230128201
    Abstract: A common mode choke (200, 1100) comprises a core (240). The common mode choke (200, 1100) further comprises a first coil (221), a second coil (222), a third coil (223), and a fourth coil (224) wound around the core (240). The common mode choke (200, 1100) is operative to attenuate any common mode component of a pair of signals. A first signal of the pair of the signals passes through two of the first through fourth coils (221, 222, 223, 224) and a second signal of the pair of the signals passes through the other two of the first through fourth coils (221, 222, 223, 224), such that at least a part of the magnetic field created by the first signal has a direction identical to that of at least a part of the magnetic field created by the second signal.
