Abstract: A method of manufacturing bipolar plates includes passing a metal sheet through at least one tension roller disposed either upstream or downstream to a BPP forming roll to establish a longitudinal tension on the metal sheet as it passes through the BPP forming roll. A first pair of inner and outer lateral tension features are formed along a first side of the metal sheet and a second pair of inner and outer later tension features are formed along a second side of the metal sheet for use in establishing a lateral tension on the metal sheet as it passes through the BPP forming roll. The inner and outer lateral tension features in each of the first and second pairs have varying or different heights to advantageously provide a more consistent application of the lateral tension to the metal sheet.

Abstract: An illustrative cloud-based air-gapped data storage management (destination) system obtains authorized access to other (source) systems' backup copies, replicates those copies within the destination system, parses supplemental metadata included in the source backup copies, and integrates the replica copies into the destination system as though natively created there. Replica copies are integrated as backup copies without first restoring the source backup copies to a native data format. The source system lacks knowledge of or connectivity with the destination system, thus maintaining an “air gap” between the systems. The destination system preferably operates in a cloud computing environment. The destination system uses supplemental metadata from the replica copies to re-create or mimic the source's computing environment and to restore backed up data from the replica copies.

Logical states of networking features of the network elements are reflected in the graph, while configuration data is stored for completeness. A method called a “Versioner Algorithm” is provided to record the temporal history of a node and its state over time within the node's metadata itself, while recorded relationships represent logical relations between observed nodes. A method is also provided to time-travel back to observe a historical view of the network. Further still, a method is provided to a difference of two historical topologies and return that data in human-readable or machine consumable form.

Abstract: An improved content indexing (CI) system is disclosed herein. For example, the improved CI system may include a distributed architecture of client computing devices, media agents, a single backup and CI database, and a pool of servers. After a file backup occurs, the backup and CI database may include file metadata indices and other information associated with backed up files. Servers in the pool of servers may, in parallel, query the backup and CI database for a list of files assigned to the respective server that have not been content indexed. The servers may then request a media agent to restore the assigned files from secondary storage and provide the restored files to the servers. The servers may then content index the received restored files. Once the content indexing is complete, the servers can send the content index information to the backup and CI database for storage.
