Abstract: An integrated magnetic device has a magnetic core which includes layers of the magnetic material located in a trench in a dielectric layer. The magnetic material layers are flat and parallel to a bottom of the trench, and do not extend upward along sides of the trench. The integrated magnetic device is formed by forming layers of the magnetic material over the dielectric layer and extending into the trench. A protective layer is formed over the magnetic material layers. The magnetic material layers are removed from over the dielectric layer, leaving the magnetic material layers and a portion of the protective layer in the trench. The magnetic material layers along sides of the trench are subsequently removed. The magnetic material layers along the bottom of the trench provide the magnetic core.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing data in a file system. An object from the file system that has parent objects may be provided. A snapshot in a current epoch may be generated such that the first snapshot may be based on the object and descendants of the object. A coverage set may be provided for the object that references the snapshot and also references each other snapshot that includes the parent objects. Read-only access to a version of the object may be provided based on a correspondence of the version and a snapshot referenced by the coverage set of the object. A coverage engine compares the update to a coverage update epoch (cue) associated with the parent objects. The coverage engine updates coverage sets of the parent objects based on grandparents of the object.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing data in a file system that includes a plurality of storage nodes and a plurality of storage volumes such that each storage node may be a compute instance provided by a cloud computing environment (CCE) and each storage volume may be based on blobs provided by the CCE. Write requests that include write data may be provided. A lowest range of addresses in the storage volume may be determined for storing the write data. Buckets may be determined based on the range of addresses and the write data assigned to the buckets. If portions of the buckets remain unassigned, other data may be provided from a cache volume or the blobs. The write data and the other data may be written to the portion of the blobs.

Abstract: The disclosed invention ensures safe operation of an electrical switchgear by preventing an operator from contacting or interacting with an active circuit breaker. The locking system prevents a door to the interior of the switchgear from opening until the circuit breaker is in a disengaged position. A circuit breaker decoupler, accessible from the exterior of the switchgear, directly manipulates the circuit breaker into disengagement and also allows physical manipulation of the circuit breaker. By having the decoupler and tool interface in the same device, this removes the need to open the arc covers, negating arc resistance.

Abstract: A system and method for automatic instrumentation of mobile applications is presented. Mobile applications are typically executed in mobile runtime environments or operating system that is restricted compared to their conventional counterparts. Those restrictions include features that allow one to examine and modify code of application during the runtime of the application. Those features that are used by instrumentation based monitoring systems dedicated for conventional applications are thus not available for the instrumentation of mobile application. The system and method allow automatic instrumentation in a static way, either by persistently placing instrumentation code into mobile applications or by persistently adapting mobile applications in a way to perform a static instrumentation on application startup.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a file system engine that provides a file system with parent objects associated with child objects. The file system engine provides a replication snapshot associated with an epoch of the file system such that each child object modified during the epoch and each associated parent object is associated with the replication snapshot. A root object of a portion of the file system included in the replication snapshot may be provided. A replication engine may traverse the portion of file system starting from the root object such that the parent objects that are not associated with the replication snapshot are omitted from the traversal. The replication engine may determine replication objects based on the traversal such that each replication object was modified during the epoch. Then the replication engine may execute a replication job that copies replication objects to a target file system.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to file systems. A replication engine may establish a secure communication channel between a source file system and a target file system.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing data in a file system. A file system engine provides a file system that includes file system objects that may be accessible by two or more clients that use different native permission schemes. And, a permissions engine may determine map rules based on characteristics of a request to access request a file. The permission engine may execute the one or more map rules to provide platform permission values based on the native permission values. The permission engine may compare requested platform permission values to the platform permission values associated with the file. The permission engine may provide the access rights to the file based on an affirmative result of the comparison.

Abstract: In general, embodiments of the invention relate to a method for modifying a targeted subset of a table row (consisting of assorted data) on a network element. More specifically, a network element agent, executing on the network element, may request that changes be applied to a portion of the assorted data, hence the targeted subset, without affecting the remainder of the table row (which may include data relevant to the responsibilities of other network element agents). Through the application of masking, changes applied only to the targeted subset may be achieved.
