Abstract: An engine braking system includes engine braking actuators for adjusting exhaust valve timings to engine braking timings in a cylinder-number braking mode. The system further includes an engine braking controller coupled to a control switch that produces a request indicating a requested cylinder-number braking mode. The engine braking controller is structured to transition exhaust valves to the engine braking timings, determine a control term to adjust intake air pressure for varying a braking power of the engine, and to adjust geometry of an exhaust turbine based on the control term. An adjusted speed of a compressor rotated by the exhaust turbine provides a change to intake air pressure that adjusts the braking power of the engine. Different levels of braking power are provided within different cylinder-number braking modes.

Abstract: Techniques are presented herein for providing a persistent external Internet Protocol (IP) address for extra-cluster services. One example involves initiating, in a cluster, a first pod with a label that identifies a service. The first pod is configured to provide the service to one or more network entities outside the cluster. The first pod is assigned an IP address configured for communicating outside the cluster. A mapping of the service to the IP address is stored. In response to a determination that the service has been disrupted, a second pod is initiated in the cluster with the label that identifies the service. The second pod is configured to provide the service to the one or more network entities outside the cluster. Based on the mapping and the label that identifies the service, the IP address is assigned to the second pod.

Abstract: In some implementations, a first network device may receive an advertisement from a second network device. The advertisement may be associated with indicating that the second network device is configured to support a particular flex-algorithm. The first network device may identify, in the advertisement, an address of the second network device. The first network device may configure a routing table of the first network device to indicate that the second network device is capable of receiving traffic associated with the particular flex-algorithm based on the address. The first network device may perform, using the routing table, an action associated with routing the traffic associated with the particular flex-algorithm.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an electronic device can include forming a plurality of vertical channels having sidewalls over a substrate, and forming gate dielectric regions over portions of the vertical channels and planar regions adjoining the vertical channels. Gate electrode regions are then formed over portions of the gate dielectric regions. The gate electrode material and the vertical channel region are doped and sized to enable full depletion of charges during operation. Source and body tie regions are formed on the vertical sidewalls by doping with a p-type or n-type dopant. Dielectric regions over the gate electrode regions are formed to electrically isolate the gate electrode regions from the source regions. A metallic layer is formed over the first side of the substrate having the vertical channels. Stress is then induced within the substrate by annealing and/or cooling to separate a semiconductor region of the substrate and the metallic layer from the remaining portion of the substrate.

The server obtains, from a network entity including a base station entity serving wireless communication in the wireless network, a second indication of the first identifier and second telemetry data associated with the second indication. The server determines that the first indication and the second indication match. In response to determining that the first indication and the second indication match, the server correlates the first telemetry data and the second telemetry data.

Abstract: Snapshot-based disaster recovery (DR) orchestration systems and methods for virtual machine (VM) failover and failback do not require that VMs or their corresponding datastores be actively operating at the DR site before a DR orchestration job is initiated, i.e., before failover. An illustrative data storage management system deploys proprietary components at source data center(s) and at DR site(s). The proprietary components (e.g., storage manager, data agents, media agents, backup nodes, etc.) interoperate with each other and with the source and DR components to ensure that VMs will successfully failover and/or failback. DR orchestration jobs are suitable for testing VM failover scenarios (“clone testing”), for conducting planned VM failovers, and for unplanned VM failovers. DR orchestration jobs also handle failback and integration of DR-generated data into the failback site, including restoring VMs that never failed over to fully re-populate the source/failback site.
