  • Method, electronic device and computer program product for accessing storage system
    Patent number: 11494129
    Abstract: Techniques for accessing a storage system involve: based on a detection that a first host configured to use a first protocol to access a storage system is connected to the storage system, determining a source logical storage space from a second group of logical storage spaces associated with a second protocol. The second protocol is different from the first protocol. The techniques further involve: determining, from a first group of logical storage spaces associated with the first protocol, a target logical storage space to which the source logical storage space is mapped. The techniques further involve: allocating the target logical storage space to the first host, so that the first host accesses the storage system via the target logical storage space. Accordingly, suitable protocols can be flexibly used to access the storage system without cumbersome and time-consuming operations.

  • GPS data integrity verification
    Patent number: 11493934
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle, system and method of operating an autonomous vehicle. The system includes a communication module and a processor. The communication module sends a first set of Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) data over a first communication channel and a second set of GPS data over a second communication channel. The second set of GPS data is an authenticated data set. The processor operates the autonomous vehicle using the first set of GPS data, and compares the first set of GPS data to the second set of GPS data to verify the integrity of the first set of GPS data. A first value for a vehicle parameter based on the first set of GPS data is compared to a second value for the vehicle parameter based on data from a vehicle-based sensor. The first set of GPS data is rational when the difference is less than a selected threshold.
