Patent number: 11119994Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for record-by-record live migration using segmentation are disclosed. Migration of a data set comprises, for a record in a segment being migrated, storing a first status indicating that the record is offline in a source data store. An instance of the record is stored in the destination data store, and a second status is stored to indicate that the record is online in the destination. The record is deleted from the source after the second status is stored. During the migration, a read request for the record is received and determined to be associated with the segment being migrated. A response to the read request is generated that comprises an authoritative instance of the record. The instance of the record in the destination is determined to represent the authoritative instance based (at least in part) on the first status and the second status.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jacob Shannan Carr, Stanislav Pavlovskii, Brian Thomas Kachmarck, Kanika Kalra, Amit Chhabra, Chaiwat Shuetrakoonpaiboon, Chen Zhou, Jazarine Jamal, Muhammad Usman, Syed Sajid Nizami, Gracjan Polak, Asad Khan Durrani, Ryan Preston Gantt

Publication number: 20210256413Abstract: This disclosure relates to quantum computer arrays. In particular, a quantum processor comprises an array of source lines, drain lines and gate lines intersecting each other to define processor cells. Each of the processor cells comprise a first qubit, a second qubit and an electron confinement region disposed between the first qubit and the second qubit. A control circuit controls loading and unloading of an electron into the electron confinement region. The loading of the electron into the confinement region enables exchange interaction between electrons of the first qubit and the second qubit, and the unloading of the electron out of the electron confinement region suppresses exchange interaction between the electrons of the first qubit and the second qubit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2019Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: Lloyd Christopher Leonard Hollenberg, Charles David Hill, Muhammad Usman

Patent number: 10708086Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to channel sounding. In some embodiments a transmitter transmits a periodic CAZAC sequence beginning at a point in time that corresponds to a timing signal (e.g., a pulse-per-second signal). In some embodiments, a receiver waits to begin processing received sequences for a time interval corresponding to the length of the CAZAC sequence, where the time interval begins at the same time as the timing signal. This may avoid a need for timing synchronization prior to processing, reduce processing and latency in receiver implementations, and may allow determination of a TOA as well as a channel impulse response estimate by correlating a received cyclically-shifted CAZAC sequence with a local version of the transmitted CAZAC sequence.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2017Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: National Instruments CorporationInventors: Malik Muhammad Usman Gul, Ahsan Aziz, James Wesley McCoy
