Abstract: This disclosure enables various technologies for tracking various objects (e.g., mammals, animals, humans, pets) within various defined areas (e.g., rooms, apartments, residences, vehicles, tents) to determine whether those objects satisfy or do not satisfy various criteria, signatures, or thresholds, which may relate to health, safety, or security of those objects within those defined areas. These technologies may be enabled via various radars (e.g., time-of-flight radars, Doppler radars) positioned within those defined areas to track those objects therein. For example, some of such radars may operate in a Ku-band inclusively between about 12 GHz and about 18 GHz, a K-band inclusively between about 18 GHz and about 27 GHz, or a Ka-band inclusively between about 26.5 GHz and about 40 GHz, each of which has been unexpectedly found to be technologically beneficial for tracking those objects within those defined areas.

Abstract: Techniques are described for checkpointing multiple key ranges in parallel and concurrently during file storage replications between file systems in different cloud infrastructure regions. In certain embodiments, multiple range threads processing multiple key ranges, one thread per key range, create checkpoints for their respective key ranges in parallel and concurrently after processing a per-determined number of B-tree keys.

In certain embodiments, upon encountering a failure event, either a system crash or a thread failure, each thread restarts its B-tree key processing from a B-tree key after the most recent checkpoint.

In example embodiments, a networked system receives a ride request from a user that indicates a drop-off location. The networked system identifies a current location of a user (e.g., a rider) and determines a plurality of routes from the current location of the user to a drop-off location. The plurality of routes is displayed on a user interface of a device of the user. In response, a selection of a route from the plurality of routes is received by the networked system. The networked system then causes presentation of a driving route corresponding to the selected route on a device of a driver and the device of the user.
