Abstract: An information handling system has a regulator, a power indication network, a PSU, and a BMC. The regulator receives a system power level indication and provides power to a processor based upon the power indication. The power indication network includes a first resistor stage to shunt the power indication to a ground plane, and a second resistor stage selectably to shunt the power indication to the ground plane. The PSU provides the power indication as a current output where a level of current output indicates a power level provided by the PSU. The BMC determines a power budget for the information handling system, calculates a number of resistor stages to couple to the ground plane based on the power budget, when the number is less than or equal to one, selects the second resistor stage to be uncoupled from the ground plane, and when the number is greater than one, to select the second resistor stage to be coupled to the ground plane.

Abstract: Facilitating implementation of a multitude of virtual paths for moving an object in advanced networks (e.g., 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can include generating, by a system that includes a memory and a processor, a traversal route grid for travel of an object between a source node and a target node. The traversal route grid can include multiple alternative route segments between the source node and the target node. The method also can include assigning, by the system, respective values to alternative route segments of the multiple alternative route segments. The respective values can be tailored for the object and determined as a function of a requested time of arrival at the target node. Further, the method can include facilitating, by the system, the travel of the object along the group of alternative route segments.

Abstract: Facilitating autonomously linking movement of objects in four dimensions in advanced networks (e.g., 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can include identifying, by a system comprising a memory and a processor, a first portion of a first traversal route grid associated with a first object and a second portion of a second traversal route grid associated with a second object. The identifying can be based on the first portion and the second portion being determined to be overlapping portions during a same time period. The method also can include linking, by the system, during the same time period, a first movement of the first object and a second movement of the second object across the overlapping portions.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring data transmission activity through a port of a switch device interconnecting nodes of a storage area network, the port transmitting data as words of predetermined length, one data word indicating idle port activity. The method includes steps of counting a number of transmitted words received from the port in a first counter device; and, for each word counted, comparing that word with a predetermined word indicating no (idle) port transmission activity. In response to the comparing, a number of matches are counted in a second counter device. In this manner, a ratio of a number of counted matches with a total amount of words counted indicates available bandwidth for transmitting additional data over that link. Preferably, this available bandwidth information is included in a link state record that the switch communicates to other switch devices interconnecting that link.

Abstract: Improved reliability for multi-layer media is providing by the present invention. A data stream U is received for recording to a multi-layer rotating storage medium, the data stream U comprising a sequence of data bits. Each data bit U(J) is encoded into X representation bits.

In one embodiment, encoding may be performed with a convolution encoding algorithm and decoding with a PRML decoding algorithm. In another embodiment, Reed Solomon encoding/decoding may be employed.
