Abstract: The proposed systems and methods provide a fixed set of intelligent, general APIs to manage access to enterprise data stored in a cloud-based data lake. These systems and methods allow a fixed set of APIs to respond to all queries regarding the stored enterprise data by using a cached reference table that locates the container and document in which the requested data is held. The proposed systems and methods provide a framework for a minimal API service code with the capacity for responding to dynamic queries while maintaining stringent privacy control protections.

Abstract: Some memory sub-systems are operated in high temperature and low airflow environments. As a safeguard, thermal throttling may limit throughput on a memory sub-system when a predetermined temperature is reached or exceeded. Improving heat dissipation increases the amount of time a memory sub-system can operate without initiating thermal throttling. Adding a phase-change material (PCM) with a melting temperature above the ambient temperature but below the thermal throttling temperature to a memory sub-system increases the amount of heat the memory sub-system can generate before the temperature reaches the thermal throttling temperature. Thermally coupling components with a heat spreading sheet causes the temperature of the components to vary less than when the components transfer heat by air. Thus, a component that generates less heat may be used to absorb heat generated by another component, increasing the amount of time before any component reaches the thermal throttling temperature.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for storing immutable snapshot copes in write once read many (WORM) storage. A snapshot of a volume may be stored into one or more objects formatted according to an object format. An expiry time may be assigned to the snapshot and the one or more objects based upon a creation time of the snapshot and a retention time. The one or more objects may be stored within a remote object store. The one or more objects are retained in an immutable state and cannot be deleted until expiration of the expiry time. In response to identifying an existing object within the remote object store comprising shared snapshot data referenced by the snapshot, an assigned expiry time of the existing object may be modified based upon the expiry time of the snapshot to create a modified expiry time for the existing object.

Abstract: An access point device operable in a wireless network detects multi-band capability of a wireless client based on a probe request received from the wireless client on the non-preferred communication band. The multi-band capability is detected based on a set of parameters included in the received probe request. When the wireless client is detected to have the multi-band capability, the access point device blocks the attempt of the first wireless client to associate on the non-preferred communication band. The access point device allows the wireless client to associate on one of the non-preferred communication band and a preferred communication band based on a count of probe requests received by the access point device from the wireless client on the non-preferred communication band. Upon association on the non-preferred communication band, the access point device steers the associated wireless client to the preferred communication band.
