Abstract: A storage array presents virtual arrays to hosts through use of virtual port IDs. The storage array includes groups of logical units of storage. The groups are coupled to a switch through at least one physical port. Each group is assigned a unique virtual port ID for each physical port to which it is coupled. The virtual port IDs are assignable by the switch. The virtual port IDs are used by hosts coupled to the switch to exchange data with the groups to which the virtual port IDs are assigned. Further, a zoning table in the switch can associate each virtual port ID to a host facing port on the switch. In this case each host can communicate only with groups of logical units that are assigned virtual IDs associated with the host facing port to which it is coupled.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus of fabricating a transducer for use in ultrasound imaging. A substrate is provided. The substrate may be a silicon substrate having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. A transducer membrane is formed over the first side of the substrate. The transducer membrane includes a piezoelectric component. A well is formed in the substrate from the second side. A backing material is dispensed onto a first sidewall of the well in a manner so as to create a capillary effect that causes the backing material to wick down the sidewall, across the back side of the substrate exposed by the well, and up a second sidewall of the well. The transducer membrane is deflected so that the transducer membrane has a concave shape.

Abstract: A method for upgrading storage processors in a storage system includes a first storage processor performing IO requests on a first one or more logical units, and a second storage processor performing IO requests on a second one or more logical units of the plurality of logical units. The method includes causing the first storage processor to stop performing the IO requests on the first one or more logical units and the second storage processor to perform the IO requests on the first one or more logical units. The method includes causing the second storage processor to stop performing the IO requests on the first one or more logical units of the plurality of logical units and a third storage processor to perform the IO requests on the first one or more logical units.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for generating, by a computing device, a key, wherein the key includes at least one of an encryption key and an authentication key. One or more credentials may be generated to access a Secure KeyStore storing the key, wherein the one or more credentials may include one or more stable system values, and wherein the one or more stable system values may include one or more virtual values and one or more hardware values. The one or more stable system values may be provided to the Secure KeyStore to retrieve the key.

Abstract: Wi-Fi setup application and path switching applications are provided to allow commands received from native applications of the UE to be redirected to a Wi-Fi engine. The Wi-Fi engine supports circuit switched and packet switched services over a Wi-Fi connection, thus allowing commands received from native applications on a UE to connect the user to either a wireless unlicensed communication system or a wireless licensed communication system.

Abstract: An automated mat system, including: a well structure; and a floor structure selectively disposed above the well structure, wherein the floor structure includes at least one oscillating region, at least one stationary region, and at least one vent region; wherein the at least one oscillating region is configured to clean dirt and debris from an object disposed on top of the floor structure opposite the well structure; and wherein the at least one vent region is configured to allow the dirt and debris to pass through the floor structure and into the well structure. The at least one oscillating region includes at least one brush tread strip, the at least one stationary region includes at least one carpet strip, and the at least one vent region includes at least one vent strip.

Abstract: Described are techniques for executing code performing one or more operations corresponding to scheduling and synchronization primitives. During execution of the code, a call is performed using an application programming interface requesting a first of the operations corresponding to one of said scheduling and synchronization primitives. During runtime in response to said call, it is determined whether to perform the first operation. The determining step uses a set of one or more criteria indicating conditions as to when the scheduling and synchronization primitives are allowed to be performed. The one or more criteria are determined in accordance with a plurality of different platforms. If it is determined that the first operation is allowable and the first operation is to be performed, then the code can be executed on each of the different platforms in a privileged execution mode and a non-privileged execution mode.

Abstract: Non-disruptive data migration from a source array to a destination array entails generating a virtual array spanning at least one destination array for receiving a copy of all data at the source array. The virtual array has at least as many virtual ports as physical source ports of the source array and at least as many logical units (LUNs) as the source array. Each source array LUN corresponds to a virtual array LUN and equals the storage capacity of that corresponding LUN. Each virtual port has a virtual port address. All data resident in the LUNs of the source array are copied to corresponding LUNs in the virtual array. A name server database is reconfigured to associate port names of the physical source ports with the virtual port addresses of the virtual ports such that the virtual array appears to a host as the source array.

Abstract: Described is non-disruptive data migration from a source virtual array at a source storage array to a target virtual array at a heterogeneous destination storage array. A name server database is queried to obtain port names for each source port. The source storage array is queried to obtain information about each source virtual array LUN. A target virtual array is generated at the destination array for receiving a copy of data resident at the source virtual array. The target virtual array has at least as many ports and at least as many LUNs as the source virtual array. Data resident in the source virtual array LUNs are copied to corresponding target virtual array LUNs. The name server database is reconfigured to associate source port names with the virtual port addresses of the target virtual array such that the target virtual array appears to a host as the source virtual array.

Abstract: A classification application identifies patterns and evidences within representative documents. The application constructs a classification rule according to an entity and an affinity determined from the patterns and evidences. The application processes the representative documents with the classification rule to evaluate whether the rules meet acceptance requirements. Subsequent to a successful evaluation, the application identifies confidence levels for patterns and evidences within other documents.

Abstract: A vehicle traction jack that functions as a traction mat platform, ramp, and vehicle jack to assist a vehicle's tire when a tire is stuck in a rut, hole, or some sort of terrain or weather condition such as sand, gravel, dirt, mud, or snow is disclosed. The traction jack comprises a first plate and second plate, a hinge assembly, and a jack. The first and second plates can extend to a partially-opened or fully-opened position, forming a ramp and traction mat platform. The extended traction jack can be placed in front of or behind a vehicle's tire to provide addition traction. A jack extends from at least one plate of the vehicle traction jack to raise a vehicle for repairs to the vehicle's tire. Easily stored in a vehicle at all times, a single user can use the traction jack to help move any type of vehicle's tire.
