  • Patent number: 10503687
    Abstract: Described herein are enhancements for managing multi-host Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) switching. In one implementation, a system includes one or more PCIe devices and a PCIe switch configured to receive a first interrupt corresponding to a first interrupt vector from a PCIe device, wherein the first interrupt vector comprises at least a virtual address and a first data value. The switch is further configured to translate the first interrupt vector into a second interrupt vector, wherein the second interrupt vector comprises a second address and a second data value, and transfer a second interrupt using the second interrupt vector to a host of a plurality of hosts that corresponds to the second interrupt vector.

  • Publication number: 20190147467
    Abstract: A computer system may access an attributization rule and convert, based on the attributization rule, profile data into attributes for a robust recipient profile. The system may identify, based on tag logic, tags that are associated with the attributes. The tag logic may include instructions to compare the attributes with predetermined attributes associated with the tags. The system may map the identified tags to the recipient identifier. The system may perform communication with a mobile device based on the robust recipient profile and a real-time location of the mobile device. To perform the communication, the system may monitor the plurality of data channels for data comprising real-time location information for the mobile device. The system may determine the mobile device is proximate to a physical object that is associated with the tag and the system may transmit offer information to the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10198738
    Abstract: A computer system constructs a robust recipient profile. The system receives data associated with recipient digital interactions from, e.g., streaming and/or batch sources. The recipient data may include digital transactional data, social media data, or other recipient-specific information. The system may employ heuristic data ingestion processing to derive further data based on the data inputs and attributization, and thereby may develop a robust recipient profile by aggregating the processed and derived data. The system may implement production rules to determine recipient-specific custom metadata based on the robust recipient profile to transmit to the recipient.

  • Publication number: 20190032184
    Abstract: A method for heat-treating a titanium alloy, such as Ti-6Al-4V. The method may occur after or include a step of forging the titanium alloy such that localized, highly deformed grains are formed in the titanium alloy. Then the method may include steps of recrystallization annealing the titanium alloy by heating the titanium alloy to a temperature in a range between 30° F. to 200° F. below beta transus of the titanium alloy for 1 hour to 6 hours and then furnace cooling of the titanium alloy to 1200° F. to 1500° F. at a rate of 50° F. to 500° F. per hour. Following the recrystallization annealing, the method may include beta annealing the titanium alloy. These steps may be performed in a single heat treating cycle.

  • Publication number: 20190004988
    Abstract: Described herein are enhancements for managing quality of service in a multi-host Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) switching environment. In one implementation, a host system is configured to maintain quality of service statistics corresponding to data interactions with a PCIe storage device available via a PCIe switch. The host system may further receive secondary quality of service statistics for one or more other host systems communicatively coupled to the PCIe device via the PCIe switch, and determine a maximum queue depth for the host system based on the quality of service statistics and the second quality of service statistics to maintain a quality of service for the host systems.
