Abstract: A file system may include an object storage, a merged index, and a distributed database. When a file is stored in the file system, the file may be converted to an object and be stored in the object storage. The deduplication index of the file may be stored in the distributed database. The namespace metadata of the file may be stored in the merged index. The merged index generates namespace entries of the file when the file is created, deleted, and/or modified. A namespace entry may be associated with a specific file and may include a creation version and a deletion version. When a file is deleted or modified, instead of modifying the existing namespace entries, new entries associated with different versions and including different creation or deletion versions are created. The status of a file may be monitored by one or more entries associated with a file.

The method may include determining an authentication protocol that is supported by the target application. The method may include generating, based on the authentication protocol, a series of one or more authentication tests that, in combination, satisfy the authentication protocol. The authentication tests may satisfy the authentication protocol even when the client node natively supports a different authentication protocol. The method may include executing the series of authentication tests to authenticate the client node vis-à-vis the target application.

Abstract: Cloud delivered access may be provided. A network device may provide a client device with a pre-authentication virtual network and a pre-authentication address. Next, a policy may be received in response to the client device authenticating. The client device may then be moved to a post-authentication virtual network based on the policy. A post-authentication address may then be obtained for the client device in response to moving the client device to a post-authentication virtual network. Traffic for the client device may then be translated to the post-authentication address.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may measure the reference signal received power (RSRP) of reference signals from other UEs in a time window and exclude resources of transmissions with a measurement which is above RSRP threshold. In some cases, not enough resources are identified, and the UE may increase the RSRP and search for resources again, however the UE may only increase the RSRP until a stop RSRP limit is reached. The UE may increase the RSRP based on an absolute value or a factor of an incremental power value. Once the stop RSRP threshold is reached, the UE may modify the size of the time window, shift the time window, or reduce the number of retransmission of the sidelink message to search for resources for the sidelink message.

Abstract: In some examples, visible elements-based application testing may include accessing, based on an analysis of a display of a page associated with execution of an application, an identification of elements and locations of the identified elements within the page. According to an example, each element of the identified elements may include a character. A determination may be made as to whether a word from a test script for testing the application is present in a set that includes at least two of the identified elements by comparing distances between a specified location of the word on the page and the locations of the identified elements. Further, in response to a determination that the word is present in the set of the identified elements, an operation associated with the word may be executed to test the application.

Abstract: A method, medium, and apparatus for educating and reducing risk to inexperienced drivers using vehicles with autonomous navigation systems. Data regarding a driver's past experience with vehicles and operating environments may be used to proactively warn the driver about a potential danger detected or predicted by the vehicle. An autonomous vehicle may prevent the driver from operating the vehicle under unfamiliar circumstances or from causing a collision. Data regarding a driver's past experience with vehicles and the safety features thereof may be used to mitigate risk of injury or property damage by selectively activating safety features in a new vehicle which the driver has not previously driven. Data regarding a driver's past experience with vehicles and safety features thereof may be used to determine a decreased or increased rental rate for a particular vehicle.

Abstract: A memristive device is described. The memristive device includes a first layer having a first plurality of conductive lines, a second layer having a second plurality of conductive lines, and memristive interlayer connectors. The first and second layers differ. The first and second pluralities of conductive lines are each lithographically defined. The first and second pluralities of conductive lines are insulated from each other. The memristive interlayer connectors are memristively coupled with a first portion of the first plurality of conductive lines and memristively coupled with a second portion of the second plurality of conductive lines. The memristive interlayer connectors are thus sparsely coupled with the first and second pluralities of conductive lines. Each memristive interlayer connector includes a conductive portion and a memristive portion.

Abstract: Reducing file write latency includes receiving incoming data, from a data source, for storage in a file and a target storage location for the incoming data, and determining whether the target storage location corresponds to a cache entry. Based on at least the target storage location not corresponding to a cache entry, the incoming data is written to a block pre-allocated for cache misses and the writing of the incoming data to the pre-allocated block is journaled. The writing of the incoming data is acknowledged to the data source. A process executing in parallel with the above commits the incoming data in the pre-allocated block with the file. Using this parallel process to commit the incoming data in the file removes high-latency operations (e.g., reading pointer blocks from the storage media) from a critical input/output path and results in more rapid write acknowledgement.
