Abstract: A thermal management system and a method of operating thereof includes a housing body having a first broad surface and an opposing second broad surface and may extend between a first end and a second end. The housing body defines plural passages disposed between the first and second broad surfaces. The plural passages extend in one or more orthogonal directions between the first and second ends of the body. An inlet conduit is fluidly coupled with a first passage of the plural passages via an inlet structure that defines an inlet of the housing body, and directs a fluid into the first passage of the plural passages. An outlet conduit is fluidly coupled with a second passage of the plural passages via an outlet structure that defines an outlet of the housing body, and directs the fluid out of the second passage of the plural passages.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detecting a wearing status of a wearable device, the wearing status indicating whether a user is wearing the wearable device and sending wearing status data to a companion communication device to control a behavior of the companion communication device.

Abstract: A memory expansion device operable with a host computer system (host) comprises a non-volatile memory (NVM) subsystem, cache memory, and control logic configurable to receive a submission from the host including a read command and specifying a payload in the NVM subsystem and demand data in the payload. The control logic is configured to request ownership of a set of cache lines corresponding to the payload, to indicate completion of the submission after acquiring ownership of the cache lines, and to load the payload to the cache memory. The set of cache lines correspond to a set of cache lines in a coherent destination memory space accessible by the host. The control logic is further configured to, after indicating completion of the submission and in response to a request from the host to read demand data in the payload, return the demand data after determining that the demand data is in the cache memory.

Abstract: Self-tuning clusters for resilient microservices, including: receiving, by a services orchestrator within a cloud-computing environment and from a plurality of cloud computing instances, respective latency measurements corresponding to respective control plane operations directed to a shared resource of the plurality of cloud computing instances; determining, based on a current timeout value and on the respective latency measurements from the plurality of cloud computing instances, an updated timeout value for the shared resource; and providing, to each of the plurality of cloud computing instances, the updated timeout value for the shared resource.

Abstract: A method may include detecting, by a computing device based on a problem signature, that a system has experienced a problem that is associated with the problem signature, wherein the problem signature comprises a specification of a pattern of events indicative of the particular problem experienced by at least one other system; determining that the particular problem violates an operational policy of the system; and deploying, without user intervention, one or more corrective measures that modify the system to resolve the problem.

Abstract: A user device cradle can include a receiver configured to removably retain a wireless user device. One or more Radio Frequency (RF) signal couplers and one or more power couplers can be disposed in the receiver of the cradle. The one or more RF signal couplers can be configured to couple one or more RF communication signals to the wireless user device, while the one or more power couplers can be configured to couple power to the wireless user device.

Abstract: Provided are methods, apparatus, and system for policy based wide area network. A network of network appliances is configured with a policy configuration. Each network appliance is configured to validate each wide area network packet against the policy configuration. The validation can include verifying that the packets meet the SD-WAN network segment requirements and security rules including verifying that the source and destination address of the packet meet the firewall zone requirements. Each wide area network packet contains a policy header that is checked by the sending and receiving network appliance against the policy configuration.

Abstract: An example computing device includes a memory accessible at startup of the computing device, a buffer, and a set of instructions. The memory stores a configuration setting that is configurable by the application of a change request. The memory also stores a first public key and a second public key. The buffer stores change requests submitted by a remote entity, including a first change request to make a first setting change and a second change request to make a second setting change. The first change request is signed by a first private key corresponding to the first public key, and the second change request is signed by a second private key corresponding to the second public key. The set of instructions retrieves a change request from the buffer, determines whether the change request is authenticated by a public key, and if authenticated, applies the change request.

Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a system comprising a portable device executing a mobile application; and a rack controller without a display unit, the rack controller comprising a base unit. The base unit includes a processor configured to execute software that directs the processor to interact with the mobile application to show information and receive user input associated with the rack controller and at least one of rack and patching equipment installed in one or more racks even if there is not a display unit coupled to the base unit. In additional embodiments, a rack controller is configured to determine whether each rack controller interface is connected to another rack controller as a function of a respective sense signal developed by the termination circuit associated with said rack controller interface. Other embodiments are disclosed.
