  • Publication number: 20250265004
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system are provided for configuring asymmetric logical unit access (ALUA) states for paths in a multipath storage system. The method includes providing storage feature indications for paths between a host and a volume, wherein the storage features are provided by the storage system end of the path. The method configures ALUA states for available paths between a host and a volume based at least partially on the storage feature indications to direct host operations to one or more paths based on available storage features at the storage system to prioritize paths with selected storage features. Configuring ALUA states for available paths may include configuring ALUA states for paths for a given host based on parameters of the host and storage feature of the path required for the host parameters.

  • Publication number: 20250036493
    Abstract: Methods and devices for management of notifications at an electronic device are disclosed. Sensed data is obtained representing a sensed location of the user and at least one other human or device. A first proxemic probability density function (PDF) is defined using the sensed location of the user and at least one other proxemic PDF is defined using the sensed location of the at least one other human or device. An entropy metric is generated representing likelihood of interaction between the user and the at least one other human or device by computing an overlap between the first proxemic PDF and the other proxemic PDF. In response to the entropy metric exceeding a defined threshold, the electronic device transitions from a default mode to an engaged mode, wherein in the engaged mode the electronic device is controlled to provide at least one output differently than in the default mode.

  • Publication number: 20250013295
    Abstract: A wearable device comprising a first array of non-optical sensing nodes is disclosed. The first array comprises a plurality of nodes. The plurality of nodes are operable to sense vasodilation of an artery in proximity to the first array. Systems and methods for determining a difference between a first position and a first reference position of the first array relative to a first artery are disclosed. First signal information may be received from the wearable device. The first signal information may represent first signal variation data sensed by each node of the first array. A first position of the first array relative to a first artery may be determined based on a first signal variation pattern in the first signal information. A difference between the first position and a first reference position of the first array relative to the first artery may then be determined.

  • Patent number: 11586288
    Abstract: A controller for sensing interior motion includes a sensor structure having transmitting conductors and receiving conductors. The controller comprises circuitry to drive and sense signals on interacting pairs of conductors (the transmitting conductor or receiving conductor can act as the drive side, or as the sense side). Signals are processed to analyze changes in measured signal and analyzed to determine interior movement. When the controller is deployed proximate to human skin, movement of muscles, tendons and bones within the skin are reflected in the measured signals.

  • Patent number: 11287254
    Abstract: A sensing system is embedded into a fabric or material that conforms to a portion of a user's body. The fabric or material has transmitting antennas and receiving antennas placed thereon. Movement of the fabric or material with the transmitting and receiving antennas placed thereon are able to measure the changes in the signals received by the receiving antennas. Measurement of the changes are used to determine movement of and position of parts of the body within and/or distal to the fabric or material by determining localized pressure deformation to reconstruct volumetric changes.

  • Patent number: 10990190
    Abstract: Disclosed is a touch-sensitive controller system employing a controller comprising a plurality of separate FMT sensor patterns adapted to detect a variety positions of the human hand. The controller system outputs both touch events as well as data reflective of the hand interaction with the controller. The FMT sensors may be driven by a common signal generator, and can look at body-generate crosstalk to aid in understanding the position, orientation and grip of a hand on the controller. In an embodiment, signal injection can supplement FMT sensor data. Fusion among the data transmitted and received by the plurality of FMT sensors and additional injected signals may provide improved fidelity in both touch and hand modeling.
