  • Patent number: 11804658
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for mitigating polarization mismatch in reflector antenna systems. A feed unit is configured to determine a polarization mismatch between a first polarization associated with a first wave and a second polarization associated with a reflector unit. The feed unit pre-distorts the first wave to achieve a compensated polarization for reducing and/or eliminating a polarization mismatch. The pre-distorted first wave having the compensated polarization is used to illuminate the reflector unit. A re-radiated wave is reflected by the reflector unit. Furthermore, the level of the re-radiated wave is increased as a result of the pre-distortion.

  • Publication number: 20230306005
    Abstract: A method for protecting data within a storage system includes receiving one or more user objects from a user into the storage system, the user objects including user data that includes user metadata and raw data; deduplicating the raw data; copying the user metadata and system metadata to provide copied metadata; and storing the copied metadata in a metadata storage area within the storage system so that the copied metadata stored in the metadata storage area is not modifiable by the user. The method can further include storing the copied metadata in a separate, second metadata storage area within the storage system that is user modifiable. At least a portion of the copied metadata stored in the user modifiable metadata storage area and copied to the unmodifiable metadata storage area includes a reference that points to sub-objects in the data storage area that allows the system to rehydrate the raw data for the user objects.

  • Patent number: 11740831
    Abstract: Method and system are provided for storage optimization for event streaming for multiple consumers. The method provides an entire event stream for storage in a first tier storage and dynamically determines advance portions of the event stream for at least some of the consumers based on a consumer's position index in the event stream. The advance portions are portions of the event stream that will be consumed next by the consumer and the method provides the advance portions of the event stream for storage in second tier storage that has a higher performance than the first tier storage.

  • Publication number: 20230255621
    Abstract: Suture passer systems for tissue suspension and tissue compression, and more particularly for tongue suspension, are described. The system can include at least a first elongate tubular body or shaft, a needle having a lateral bias carried by the elongate body, and a retrieval element operably connected to the elongate tubular body. The needle can have a substantially straight configuration when located within the elongate tubular body, and be configured to exit an opening at or near a distal end of the elongate tubular body and assume a laterally biased or curved shape to form a path through tissue. The needle is configured to carry a suture. The retrieval element can be configured to retrieve the suture carried by the needle after the needle has formed a curved or otherwise angled path through tissue. The system can also include one or more bone anchors to secure the suture loops. Methods of placing one or more suture loops into tissue, such as the base of the tongue, are also described.
