Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an electronic device and a flexible connection device. The electronic device comprises a first body; a second body; and a flexible connection device, configured to connect the first body and the second body. The flexible connection device comprises N shafts; and N?1 transmission structures, wherein each of the transmission structures connects two adjacent shafts, to connect the N shafts together in order, wherein N is an integer which is larger than 3 or equals to 3. When an action force is applied onto the first body and/or the second body so that relative positions of the first body and the second body are changed, the N shafts and the N?1 transmission structures are driven sequentially so that the flexible connection device is flexibly bent while keeping the length of the inner arc of the flexible connection device constant.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for tracing an attack source in the case of an abnormal network traffic, where said method comprises: from the network node(s) of an attack link, any or multiple said network nodes are selected as a tracing start point(s) and there into, said attack link is a communication link between an attacked target and an attack source. According to said tracing start point(s), a higher-level network node of said attack link is identified stepwise until a final attack source is confirmed. By adopting said technical solution provided by the present invention, the problems that the network security mechanisms in related technologies can only alleviate a network attack rather than position an attack source are solved, thus an effect can be achieved to trace and position the attack source in a reverse direction.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for efficient local caching of data tiered to cloud storage to help reduce the bandwidth cost of repeated reads and writes to the same region of a stubbed file, increase the performance of write operations, and increase performance of read operations to portions of a stubbed file accessed repeatedly. When operations are directed toward data tiered to the cloud, the data can be read from cloud storage and stored within a local cache. A cache tracking tree can be generated and used to track file regions of a stub file, cached states associated with regions of the stub file, a set of cache flags, and other file and mapping data. For example, the cache state of regions of a stub file can be tracked including a cached data state, a non-cached state, a modified state, or a truncated state.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for establishing data constructs necessary for efficient and transparent tiering of data from local storage to cloud storage, and there use in transferring data to and from cloud storage. Files data can split into chunks and stored as individual objects in cloud storage. A stub file can replace the local file in local storage and describe a mapping of cloud objects that contain data to specific regions of the file. Upon creation of the stub and transfer of data to cloud storage, local storage capacity previously dedicated to file data can be freed for other uses.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an information processing method and an electronic device. The information processing method, comprising: obtaining input traces, which are input by an operator, on an input area of an electronic device, the input area being not overlapped with a display area of a display screen of the electronic device; displaying the input traces on the display screen in real time; determining whether a trace complying with a predetermined rule is included in the input traces; and establishing a window corresponding to the trace complying with the predetermined rule when the trace complying with the predetermined rule is included in the input traces, the window being associated with an application. The above method provided by the present disclosure solves the technical problem with the conventional technical solutions that the processing mode for traces input by the user is generally unitary and inflexible, and cannot satisfy requirements of the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for writing back data to files tiered in cloud storage. Files tiered to cloud storage can be stored in chunks where each chunk is stored as a distinct cloud object and where each cloud object is mapped to known offset regions of a file and the mapping is stored in local storage within a stub file. If the file is modified locally, e.g., a write has occurred, the offset range associated with the write can be used to determine which cloud object associated with the file is being modified. A new cloud object can be stored with the write data, while the previous cloud object is retained in cloud storage. The mapping, stored within the stub file can updated to reference the new cloud object for the region of the file that was modified. In addition, mapping can be retained for the previous version of the file allowing for efficient recall of past versions of files.

The method may include: generating two holographic beams entering a fiber with a certain intersection angle there-between from one side of the fiber and forming holographic interference fringes in the fiber, driving the two holographic beams to scan along the fiber by a motorized translation stage controlled by a computer; and adjusting the intersection angle between the two beams by motorized rotation stages or motorized mirror mounts controlled by the computer. The present disclosure can be applied in manufacturing ultralong fiber Bragg gratings with arbitrary reflection wavelength, such as narrow-reflection-band gratings, chirped gratings, and apodized gratings, etc.
