  • Patent number: 12147799
    Abstract: A method comprises: installing the target software version on a first node of the storage appliance; restarting the first node of the storage appliance while also running the current software version on other nodes of the storage system; subsequent to said installing the target software version and said restarting of the first node, determining if all hosts of the storage system have discovered paths to volumes on the first node; responsive to determining that all hosts of the storage system have discovered paths to volumes on the first node, permitting the CCU of the nodes to continue to upgrade one of the other nodes of the storage system from the current software version to the target software version; and responsive to determining that not all hosts of the storage system have discovered paths to volumes on the first node, preventing the CCU of the nodes from continuing.

  • Patent number: 12131027
    Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and computer program product in which a storage volume is configured to be maintained in a replicated relationship between two storage systems. A reversing is performed of a switch of a direction of replication for a replicated storage volume, in response to determining that host activity does not sufficiently match a pre-switch host activity, where the host activity does not sufficiently match the pre-switch host activity if a predetermined set of criteria is not met.

  • Publication number: 20240190117
    Abstract: A packaging material including one or more expandable layers that provide protection to contents of a packaging enclosure formed with the packaging material. The packaging material includes at least a first layer and a second layer bonded to one another. The first layer is pulled or extended in a first direction that is effective to cause the second layer to expand in a second direction. The second layer is a cut-patterned layer which increases in thickness and provides structural strength to the packaging material when expanded.

  • Publication number: 20240104394
    Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that automatically produce production-ready machine learning models and deployment pipelines from minimal input information such as a raw training dataset. In particular, one example computing system can import a training dataset associated with a user. The computing system can execute an origination machine learning pipeline to perform a model architecture search that selects and trains a machine learning model for the training dataset. Execution of the origination machine learning pipeline can also result in generation of a deployment machine learning pipeline configured to enable deployment of the machine learning model (e.g., running the machine learning model to produce inferences and/or optionally other tasks such as re-training and/or re-tuning the model).

  • Publication number: 20230419745
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for providing an adaptable Internet of Things platform. A platform edge gateway device hosts containerized applications, in which each containerized application performs a discrete function. The edge gateway device correlates data output from one or more of the containerized applications, which are then transmitted to additional containerized applications for further processing.

  • Publication number: 20230398825
    Abstract: A vehicle frame assembly includes a frame bar extending between first and second ends along a first axis. The first end is coupled with a first guide assembly, and the second end of the frame bar is coupled with a second guide assembly. First and second housings are coupled with a frame of a vehicle system. A first actuator system extends between the first housing and the frame bar, and a second actuator system is extends between the second housing and the frame bar. The first and second actuator systems control rotational movement of the frame bar between first and second directions of rotation. Rotating the frame bar in the first direction of rotation moves an axle away from a route, and rotating the frame bar in the second direction of rotation moves the axle toward the route.

  • Publication number: 20230002096
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for automatically packaging one or more articles is disclosed. The system, apparatus, and method processes incoming articles having different and/or similar shapes and in random orientations for packaging. The system, apparatus, and method form shipping-ready customized packages, based, at least in part, on data associated with an individual article and gathered by a detecting device as the individual article moves along a first conveyor towards a packaging station of the system. The customized packages are configured to conform to each individual article's shape and size. The packaging preferably is fully recyclable and is made from paper which is expandable to create a cushioning layer around the packaged article.
