Abstract: Alert correlation helps reduce the number of alerts that IT staff have to act upon. Methods include a computer program product that applies a machine driven deep learning model to effectively correlate alerts caused by a common root cause. The methods of correlation provide the user the context of the root cause for the alerts. Therefore, it helps the user to quickly identify, understand and resolve the problem thereby reducing the mean time to identification and resolution. Alerts caused by the same root cause therefor come together.

Abstract: A system receives a service request sent from a computing device of a user, specifying an origin location, a destination location, and a service request time. Based on the origin location, service request time, and historical service data for users, a plurality of candidate locations is identified. A location is selected from the candidate locations using criteria including proximity to the origin location and the number of successful service requests at each candidate location during a specified time window. In response to receiving user acceptance of the selected location, the system generates navigation instructions for a provider to travel from their current location to the selected location.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for garbage collection for object-based storage systems. A first set of objects stored in a data object store is identified as not meeting criteria for deletion or archiving, the criteria specified in a retention policy. A second set of objects is identified by performing a search of the object data store for data objects belonging to a data structure with the first set of objects. The second set of objects is recorded as not meeting the criteria for deletion or archiving. The second set of data objects are retained, based on the recording, to prevent the data structure from being corrupted.

Abstract: Systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that can facilitate optimized control of an electric motor of an electric vehicle using a smartcell battery system are addressed. In an example, the system uses a central controller that wirelessly communicates with local controllers connected to clusters of battery cells configured to generate a three-phase current output to control the motor torque. The central controller and the local controllers perform a main control loop to control the three-phase current output with an update frequency of about 1 kHz. A local control loop with an update frequency of about 10 kHz is further implemented by the local controllers within the main control loop to detect and minimize disturbances in the motor operation using estimated local control information.
