Abstract: Techniques are provided for providing a storage abstraction layer for a composite aggregate architecture. A storage abstraction layer is utilized as an indirection layer between a file system and a storage environment. The storage abstraction layer obtains characteristic of a plurality of storage providers that provide access to heterogeneous types of storage of the storage environment (e.g., solid state storage, high availability storage, object storage, hard disk drive storage, etc.). The storage abstraction layer generates storage bins to manage storage of each storage provider. The storage abstraction layer generates a storage aggregate from the heterogeneous types of storage as a single storage container. The storage aggregate is exposed to the file system as the single storage container that abstracts away from the file system the management and physical storage details of data of the storage aggregate.

Abstract: A vibration transducer for sensing vibrations includes a first flexible triboelectric member, a second flexible triboelectric member, a plurality of attachment points, a first electrode and a second electrode. The first flexible triboelectric member includes a first triboelectric layer and a material being on a first position on a triboelectric series. A conductive layer is deposited on the second side thereof. The second flexible triboelectric member includes a second triboelectric layer and a material being on a second position on the triboelectric series that is different from the first position on the triboelectric series. The second triboelectric member is adjacent to the first flexible triboelectric member. When the first triboelectric member comes into and out of contact with the second triboelectric member as a result of the vibrations, a triboelectric potential difference having a variable intensity corresponding to the vibrations can be sensed between the first and second triboelectric members.

Abstract: In certificate chain validation, a parent certificate is used to validate a child certificate. The child certificate can indicate which parent certificate can be used to validate it. In some situations, a child certificate may not contain a certificate authority identifier that can be used to identify the parent certificate. Instead, the child certificate can contain a hash value of a modulus of the parent public key that can be used to identify the parent certificate. The hash value of the modulus of the parent public key can be associated with the parent public key. As such, the parent public key used in certificate chain validation of the child certificate can be identified using the hash value of the modulus of the parent public key.

Abstract: A virtual private cloud (VPC) that includes one or more computing devices (e.g., a physical computing device, a virtual computing device, etc.) that each implement a service present in an actual production environment is provided herein. For example, at the request of a user, an instance deployment manager may replicate one or more of the services provided by an actual production environment such that the services can be executed by the computing devices within the VPC. The computing devices within the VPC may be configured to communicate with each other. However, the computing devices may not communicate with devices outside the VPC. Thus, the VPC may represent a sandboxed or isolated test stack that allows a user to independently test code within a replicated production environment.

In some embodiments, statements included in the logging information can be categorized according to respective unique identifiers. A category of statements can be retained in one or more files within a directory associated with a unique identifiers representative of the category. The directory can be included in a distributed storage system. In addition, metadata including the unique identifier and a defined searchable field or another defined discrete amount of information pertaining to a statement associated with the unique identifier can provide an indexation of an available category of statements. In addition or in other embodiments, an interface unit can permit querying the logging information via programmatic queries or other queries received via a user interface.
