Abstract: Systems and methods for platform independent secure customer data migration from one data storage to another data storage. A synchronization server includes a translation layer and an authentication layer. The translation layer encodes data from one data storage access language and schema to another distinct data storage access language and schema. Before the full transition to the second data storage, the translation layer also encodes, updates and inserts data into the first data storage. Existing references to the first data storage as well as new references to the second data storage are supported using an authentication layer. After a request for secure customer data, a determination is made which data storage is accessed from an obtained authentication factor. When the second data storage is accessed, the translation layer is employed to encode the first data storage object references to the corresponding second data storage object.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for path management in a processing system. In a method, in response to receiving a request for adding a target controlling unit into a processing system, a plurality of network nodes in the processing system are divided into a group of subnets based on a topology of the plurality of network nodes, the plurality of network nodes being connected to at least one controlling unit in the processing system. A workload estimation is determined, the workload estimation representing a workload to be caused by the target controlling unit to the processing system. A target subnet is selected from the group of subnets for connecting the target controlling unit into the processing system based on the workload estimation. With these embodiments, the target subnet may be selected in an automatic way such that the performance of the processing system may be increased.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for determining blood pressure measurements are provided. In some embodiments, a method for determining blood pressure measurements comprises: obtaining a set of photoplethysmography (PPG) signals using a wearable device worn by a user; determining that a blood pressure of the user is being measured by a device unassociated with the wearable device based at least in part on the set of PPG signals; responsive to determining that the blood pressure of the user is being measured by the device unassociated with the wearable device, obtaining an indication of a blood pressure measurement obtained by the device unassociated with the wearable device; and storing the obtained indication of the blood pressure measurement for future use by the wearable device.

Abstract: A client of a metering service defines mapping data and derivation instructions comprising schema metadata and predicate metadata. The metering service provides usage information for a set of computing resources provided by one or more services of a computing resource service provider. As computing resources are utilized, usage records are generated. A derivation system may obtain one or more usage records and determine whether a predicate applies. If the predicate applies, a derivation function may be executed. For example, the derivation function may generate, from an original usage record, a derived usage record using mapping data provided by a client.

Abstract: A battery module, a battery pack, and a vehicle are described in this patent application. In the battery module, a plurality of grooves separated by partition parts are disposed in a module casing, a plurality of jelly rolls of the battery module are embedded in the grooves, and a top cover covers an opening of each groove to seal the groove as an independent mounting cavity. In this way, each groove wall in the module casing and the top cover may be used as a housing for sealing each jelly roll, to avoid a case in which an electrolyte in each jelly roll decomposes and produces gas in a process of using the battery module because the electrolyte is leaked from one jelly roll to another jelly roll.

Abstract: A dielectric grating apparatus comprises a substrate; a grating layer, disposed above the substrate; a first interference layer, disposed above the substrate; and a second interference layer, adjacent to the first interference layer, wherein a refractive index of a material of the second interference layer is greater than a refractive index of a material of the first interference layer.

Abstract: A flexible hinge alignment mechanism of a high-power optical system is made of a flexible hinge, and may lead to a relatively weak region of the hinge to achieve elastic displacement or rotation under stress loading. Through movable actuators such as screws and springs, the area is precisely moved, and the function of accurate alignment is achieved. When the flexible hinge causes the structure to move relatively due to the applied forces, it must be ensured that the corresponding distribution of maximum stress needs to be below the yielding point of the material, thus ensuring the mechanism acts in a material's elastic region. The design is beneficial to optimize the design of the optical alignment mechanism.
