  • Publication number: 20240146452
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a bit string at a processor, performing an error correction, and causing transmission of a modulated signal. The error correction includes identifying a set of binary strings based on the bit string, mapping each binary string from the set of binary strings to a first abelian group element from a set of first abelian group elements, and applying a generalization of polar codes to the set of first abelian group elements to produce a set of second abelian group elements. The error correction also includes mapping each of the second abelian group elements to an in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) point from a set of I/Q points and identifying real-valued points based on the set of I/Q points, each of the real-valued points representing an I/Q point from the set of I/Q points. The modulated signal has a modulation that is based on the real-valued points.

  • Patent number: 11951210
    Abstract: This application is directed to methods which allow for encapsulation of an array of biological materials under physiological conditions that are relevant given a biological context and the compositions made using those methods. These reconstituted biological materials encompass: a) purified proteins that can bind to the lipid membranes inside and outside of vesicles based on the electrostatic charge; b) purified cytosolic proteins that position themselves in the lumen of the vesicles, c) mammalian cell extracts with an array of cytosolic protein content, among other contents and d) small biological molecules such as DNA and RNA as well as fluorescent dyes/probes. These vesicles can be used to simulate cells in drug discovery methods as well as useful in administering drugs and other compositions to cells in vitro and in vivo.

  • Publication number: 20230171189
    Abstract: A networking manager of an extension server of a virtualized computing service detects that a data link layer frame has been obtained at the extension server. The networking manager delivers at least a portion of contents of the frame to a compute instance running at the extension server in response to determining that a destination media access control (MAC) address of the frame matches a MAC address of a local-premise-access virtual network interface attached to the compute instance. The local-premise-access virtual network interface is not assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address from a range of IP addresses managed by the virtualized computing service.

  • Patent number: 11243813
    Abstract: Manage a request for a computing service through a hub solution available on a network. The underlying network fabric is the communication bus between individual processes that make up a service request. A process orchestrator may publish an Internet Protocol (IP) address for service requests such as printing services, email services, Active Directory (AD) services and similar service requests. The process orchestrator may determine which processes are to be executed to complete the service request and offload the processes to an available computing resources on the network. Examples of computing resources for each process include a virtual machine and a hardware based process engine. The process orchestrator may manage the processes and act as the primary point of interface for an endpoint host requesting the service.

  • Patent number: 10146462
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a networked storage environment are provided. One method includes using a storage service level (SSL) object and a protection service level (PSL) object for storing a plurality of configurable attributes by a processor. A combination of the configurable attributes define service level classes (SLCs) in a networked storage system using a plurality of resources. The SSL object and the PSL object use a same schema and naming convention for defining the plurality of configurable attributes regardless of configuration attribute type and resource type. The method also includes obtaining by the processor, attributes defining a second SLC for a storage volume assigned to a first SLC; and updating by the processor, a quality of service (QOS) policy for the storage volume for using a resource that meets attributes of the second SLC. The storage volume is assigned the resource to process requests for data.
