Abstract: A processor of a computing device is described that intercepts a write command output from a file system, the write command specifying new data to be written to a particular group of blocks of a storage device. The processor determines, based on a record of free blocks of the storage device, that the particular group of blocks of the storage device include one or more free blocks that are currently storing snapshot data as old data. Responsive to determining that the particular group of blocks of the storage device include one or more free blocks that are currently storing snapshot data as old data, the processor moves the old data to other free blocks of the storage device, and after moving the old data to the other free blocks, the processor forwards the write command to the storage device to write the new data to the particular group of blocks.

Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to perform machine-learning-based predictive behavioral response. In various embodiments, one or more behavioral monitoring data objects are identified and processed using a behavioral pattern prediction machine learning model to generate a behavioral pattern prediction model. The behavioral pattern prediction model is processed using a risk generation machine learning model to generate a risk model, wherein: (i) the risk generation machine learning model is generated based at least in part by one or more risk factors, and (ii) the risk model comprises a per-risk factor score for each risk factor of the one or more risk factors. The risk model is processed using an adjustment generation machine learning model to generate an adjustment model and one or more prediction-based actions are performed based on the adjustment model.

For instance, some embodiments improve the accuracy of these technologies by generating, via a computer model, an estimate of a fluid life for a heat transfer fluid and/or a score that indicates a quality of the heat transfer fluid, among other things. Additional embodiments also improve human-computer interaction, user interfaces, and computer resource consumption relative to existing technologies.

Abstract: Antenna elements include a metallic square ring patch and a metallic square ring slot to transmit or receive radio frequency (RF) signals. The antenna elements use several dielectric layers that are separated by a low-dielectric foam layer upon which the square ring patch is positioned. The antenna elements may be arranged into an antenna array that is tunable to collectively generate or receive RF signals to and from airborne and mobile vehicles with an agile, electronically scanning antenna array beam, with no moving parts. The antenna array includes a top section to communicate RF signals; a bottom section to generate a desired RF signal; and a foam layer between the top and bottom sections to separate the ring patch from the ring slot. High isolation between the top section and the bottom section allows the antenna elements to be used in higher gain and high-power arrays without adverse feedback issues.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is performed in a machine having at least one processor and storage. The at least one processor executes an agent and a host that are both stored in the storage. The at least one processor's execution of the agent causes the at least one processor to create a new partition of the storage while the at least one processor is executing the host. The at least one processor's execution of the agent causes the at least one processor to store a new operating system in the new partition of the storage while the at least one processor is executing the host. The at least one processor's execution of the agent causes the at least one processor to reboot the machine into the new partition to cause the at least one processor to execute the new operating system.
