Abstract: A method for updating configuration settings of a backup database supported by a data management system is described. The method may include receiving, from a first user in a first user group, a request to update configuration settings of the backup database. The method may further include determining that the first user is authorized to update the configuration settings of the backup database based on a set of permissions associated with the first user. The method may further include identifying a second user in a second user group that is authorized to approve the request from the first user. The method may further include transmitting an indication of the request to the second user and receiving a notification that the second user has approved the request from the first user. The method may further include updating the configuration settings of the backup database in response to the notification.

Abstract: Automation solutions for event logging and debugging on KUBERNETES are disclosed. A system for event logging and debugging on a distributed application cluster includes a user interface and at least one processor for executing instructions. The instructions, when executed, instruct the at least one processor to provide an edge module configured to deploy a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) probe and a BPF program in a computing environment. The BPF probe is triggered based on an event associated with a distributed application running in a user space of the computing environment. Data associated with the event is collected in a kernel space of the computing environment via the BPF program and transferred from the BPF program to the edge module. A query request associated with the collected data is sent to the edge module. A response corresponding to the collected data is received at the user interface.

Abstract: An air filter apparatus includes at least one frame that is configured to receive a filter media, and at least one sensing mechanism for sensing contamination of the filter media. The sensing mechanism can include a wave emitter and a wave detector. The wave emitter and the wave detector can be arranged so that the wave travels along a path that is substantially parallel to outer faces of the filter media. The wave detector can be located at a first edge of the frame, and the wave emitter can be located spaced apart laterally from the wave detector at a second edge of the frame, so that waves from the emitter can travel along the path through and laterally across the filter media towards the detector. The path can be substantially perpendicular to the general direction of air flow within the filter media.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) validator instrument is provided for testing functionality of a test article. The instrument includes an RF transmitter, a connection apparatus, an RF receiver, a direct current (DC) bias detector, and an RF verifier. The transmitter produces an emission signal supplied to an in-port and an out-port. The apparatus connects the in-port and the out-port to separate terminals of the article. The receiver receives said emission signal and producing a detection signal. The DC bias detector receives the emission signal through the out-port to a first voltage divider as a first bias signal, through the in-port to a second voltage divider as a second bias signal, and combining the first and second bias signals as a combination bias signal. The verifier compares the detection and combination bias signals to determine whether the article satisfies functionality.
