Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, an acceleration framework circuit communicatively coupled to the memory and the processor, and a device driver. The device driver is configured to receive a request for data manipulation by a software defined storage (SDS) application. The device driver is configured to determine whether the request for data manipulation can be offloaded from the processor to the acceleration framework circuit. The device driver is configured to, based upon the determination of whether the request for data manipulation can be offloaded from the processor to the acceleration framework circuit, selectively cause the request to be executed by the acceleration framework circuit or the SDS application through execution on the processor.

Abstract: An apparatus may include an energy rate limiter, an electro-optical transmitter, and an energy monitor. The energy rate limiter limits energy transfer, based on an energy control signal, from a power supply to the energy storage module. The energy storage module is charged based on the energy transfer from the power supply. The electro-optical transmitter includes lasers coupled to local energy storage module. Laser firings of the lasers are based on an electrical potential of the energy storage module and laser enable signals corresponding to the lasers. The energy monitor is coupled to the energy storage module and triggers a safety alarm signal if a voltage provided by the energy storage module violates a safety condition related to a threshold voltage. The energy rate limiter terminates the energy transfer from the power supply to the local energy storage module after the safety condition is violated.

Abstract: A system includes a server interface and a management server. The management server includes instructions for execution by a processor. The instructions, when loaded and executed by the processor, cause the processor to access a server through the remote interface and, through the interface, monitor current usage by an electronic device communicatively coupled to the server. The instructions further cause the processor to determine a security status of the electronic device based upon the current usage, and to take a corrective action based upon the security status.

Abstract: A method for determining the hydration status of a person prompts the person to breathe while in a first postural position during which the method measures a first heart rate variability (HRV) value. The person is prompted to change to a second postural position, and the method measures a second HRV value. A difference between the first HRV value and the second HRV value is a daily score. The daily score is subtracted from a baseline to obtain a hydration score. In certain embodiments, the person is requested to respond to a plurality of subjective questions. The method processes the subjective responses and the daily score to determine whether the person is adequately hydrated. In certain embodiments of the method, the person is requested to identify the color of the person's urine. The identified color is processed with the daily score and the subjective responses to determine hydration.
