  • Patent number: 11831508
    Abstract: A configuration helper system (CHS) is described that simplifies the task of generating configuration information for a customer premises equipment (CPE) in a customer's on-premise network to enable the CPE to communicate with the customer's cloud network over a particular communication channel. The CHS is configured to generate configuration information that is customized for the particular CPE and communication channel. Given information about the CPE and the communication channel, the CHS automatically identifies a particular set of configuration parameters to be included in the customized configuration information and determines values for the set of parameters, where some of the values may be provided by the customer. A particular CPE-specific format is determined for the configuration information.

  • Patent number: 11829252
    Abstract: In connection with a data distribution architecture, client-side “deduplication” techniques may be utilized for data transfers occurring among various file system nodes. In some examples, these deduplication techniques involve fingerprinting file system elements that are being shared and transferred, and dividing each file into separate units referred to as “blocks” or “chunks.” These separate units may be used for independently rebuilding a file from local and remote collections, storage locations, or sources. The deduplication techniques may be applied to data transfers to prevent unnecessary data transfers, and to reduce the amount of bandwidth, processing power, and memory used to synchronize and transfer data among the file system nodes. The described deduplication concepts may also be applied for purposes of efficient file replication, data transfers, and file system events occurring within and among networks and file system nodes.

  • Publication number: 20230367594
    Abstract: Computing platforms, methods, and storage media for processing instructions associated with one or more data transfers are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain, by the apparatus, input data associated with a set of data transfer requests, the input data including a plurality of records; generate, by the apparatus and based on the input data and in the absence of a visual representation of the plurality of records, link presence indicators for the input data by automatically creating indications of presence of links between the plurality of records based on one or more of the plurality of variables; and create, by the apparatus and for storage in a memory, a set of linked data based on the input data and the generated linking relationships. Exemplary implementations focus on whether, rather than how, items are linked together, in an automated and scalable approach, and may perform analytics on the links and entities.

  • Patent number: 11801693
    Abstract: A printing system comprises an ink deposition assembly, a media transport device, and an airflow control system. The ink deposition assembly comprises a printhead to eject ink through a carrier plate opening in a carrier plate. The media transport device holds a print medium against a movable support surface by vacuum suction and transports the print media through a deposition region. The airflow control system comprises a baffle that is movable between an upstream-blocking configuration and a downstream-blocking configuration, and an actuator configured to move the baffle. In the upstream-blocking configuration the baffle blocks airflow through an upstream side of the printhead opening while allowing airflow through a downstream side of the printhead opening. In the downstream-blocking configuration the baffle blocks airflow through the downstream side of the printhead opening while allowing airflow through the upstream side of the printhead opening.
