Abstract: Embodiments provide for the self-registration and automatic inventorying of enterprise Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices in an enterprise environment. An asset inventory agent on a network among many networks (i.e., within the enterprise environment) can receive a data packet from a computing device. The data packet is communicated via the network shared between the asset inventory agent and the computing device. The asset inventory agent can analyze the data packet, which can reveal a communication protocol associated with the computing device. A discovery rule associated with the protocol can be selected to extract inventory information from the data packet. The inventory information can be utilized to generate a distributed ledger transaction, which is communicated to a set of nodes adapted to collectively store the inventory information associated with the computing device onto the distributed ledger.

Abstract: There is a large latency and controller bandwidth associated with moving data between dies or between memory devices. The controller includes one or more flash interface modules (FIMs) that are utilized to write data to the memory device and read data from the memory device. Each of the one or more FIMs includes one or more switches. Each switch is utilized to transfer data from a source block to a destination block. Likewise, rather than using a memory external to the FIM to cache the data, the data is stored in a FIM cache and moved from the FIM cache to the relevant physical layer to be programmed to the destination block. Because data is not being transferred to the system memory, the latency and bandwidth associated with relocating data may be decreased.

Abstract: Various approaches for the deployment and coordination of inter-satellite communication pathways, defined for use with a satellite non-terrestrial network, are discussed.

Abstract: Direct-bonded lamination for improved image clarity in optical devices is provided. An example process planarizes and plasma-activates optical surfaces to be laminated together, then forms direct bonds between the two surfaces without an adhesive or adhesive layer. This process provides improved optics with higher image brightness, less light scattering, better resolution, and higher image fidelity. The direct bonds also provide a refractory interface tolerant of much higher temperatures than conventional optical adhesives. The example process can be used to produce many types of improved optical components, such as improved laminated lenses, mirrors, beam splitters, collimators, prism systems, optical conduits, and mirrored waveguides for smartglasses and head-up displays (HUDs), which provide better image quality and elimination of the dark visual lines that are apparent to a human viewer when conventional adhesives are used in conventional lamination.
