Patent number: 11928076Abstract: A method for administration through files in a storage cluster is provided. The method includes distributing user data, including files, throughout a plurality of storage nodes having non-volatile solid-state memory, through erasure coding. The plurality of storage nodes are housed within a single chassis that couples the storage nodes as the storage cluster. The method includes receiving at the storage cluster a command to write a file or read a file, the file having a filename. The method includes determining whether the filename is reserved and determining an administrative action according to the file, responsive to determining that the filename is reserved. The method includes initiating the administrative action. A storage system is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Inventors: John Hayes, Robert Lee, Peter Vajgel, Par Botes

Patent number: 11448562Abstract: A solution for measuring torque and other parameters of a mechanical component is provided. At least two bands can be affixed to the mechanical component and at least two sensing assemblies can be operatively coupled to each band. Each sensing assembly generates signals indicative of relative movement between a respective band and the sensing assembly. A signal conditioner conditions the signals for a computing unit to determine the torque to the mechanical component. The computing unit can determine the torque from a twist of the mechanical component that can be correlated with the torque.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: International Electronic Machines Corp.Inventors: Zahid F.

Patent number: 10040465Abstract: A solution for evaluating a vehicle, such as a railroad vehicle, is provided. Vibration data relating to the railroad vehicle can be acquired by vibration sensing devices located adjacent to a rail. Enhanced signal data can be generated from the vibration data acquired by the vibration sensing devices. The enhanced signal data can be evaluated for any anomalous features, such as vibration peaks. When multiple anomalous features are present, these features can be further evaluated to determine whether they indicate a presence of a defect on the railroad vehicle that is producing a periodic signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: International Electronic Machines Corp.Inventors: Zahid F.

Publication number: 20170364484Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for enhanced text metadata systems are described herein. In a non-limiting embodiment, a camera on an electronic device may be activated in response to receiving a signal indicating a message is being inputted by a user. While receiving the message, a camera may capture an image of the user. This image may be analyzed to determine an emotion the user is feeling when inputting the message. Once an emotion of the user is determined, the message will be altered to reflect the emotion the user is feeling.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2017Publication date: December 21, 2017Applicant: VTCSecure LLCInventor: Peter Hayes

Patent number: 8581804Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a display driver having an internal non-volatile memory in order to save memory storage and computation effort of a host processor. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the display driver is applied for an electronic paper display. Contained within the display driver are user-definable display graphics bitmaps, multiple stored bitmaps used to assemble complex display images, and multiple phase tables, each table of arbitrary length. The invention removes the requirement for a host processor to store display images and/or display image decodes of numerical data and simplifies the process required to construct a display image from stored bitmaps. Furthermore the invention provides pre-programmed multiple phase tables (phase/delay waveform definitions), allowing a simple mechanism to alter the waveform generation, required for example to accommodate temperature variations, blanking the display before updating an image, etc.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Dialog Semiconductor GmbH.Inventors: Julian Tyrrell, Peter Hayes
