  • MULTI-FUNCTION UEFI DRIVER WITH UPDATE CAPABILITIES
    Publication number: 20240086544
    Abstract: A driver, e.g., a UEFI driver (140), for a device (120) in a host (110) starts before an OS boot. The driver (140) provides functions including gathering information regarding the host system (110), directing the device (120) to transmit the gathered information to a cloud-based service (182), directing the device (120) to provide a catalog of current firmware, updating firmware in the host (110) or device (120) based on the catalog, and configuring the device (120). The device may be a storage processing unit (120) that is part of a cluster (100) that presents virtual volumes including a boot volume (138) for the host (110), and execution of the driver (140) can provide a delay until a boot volume (138) is ready.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EXTRACTING WATER WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE RECHARGE RATE AND OTHER FACTORS TO PROTECT THE AQUIFER
    Publication number: 20230374759
    Abstract: A water extraction system including a water well coupled to an aquifer, a distribution line in communication between the water well and a use element, and a pump coupled to the water well for moving water from the water well to the use element at a pump rate. A well sensor and associated well mote collect water level data and upload the collected water level data to a server. A communication device is coupled to the server and an application carried by one of the server and the communication device calculates the rate of recharge of the well from the collected water level data. A pumping strategy is developed by the application using the recharge rate to determine an altered pump rate.
