Abstract: A system and a process for capturing Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from flue gases are disclosed. The process comprises feeding a flue gas comprising CO2 to at least one Rotary Packed Bed (RPB) absorber rotating circularly. A solvent may be provided through an inner radius of the RPB absorber. The solvent may move towards an outer radius of the RPB absorber. The solvent may react with the flue gas in a counter-current flow. The process further includes passing the flue gas through at least one of a water wash and an acid wash to remove traces of the solvent present in the flue gas. Finally, the solvent reacted with the CO2 may be thermally regenerated for re-utilizing the solvent back in the process.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a method and system for continuously validating a user during an established authenticated session using Photoplethysmogram (PPG) and accelerometer data. State of the art approaches are mostly based on feature extraction and ML modelling for PPG based continuous session validation, while a template based approach in the art follows a complicated approach. The method disclosed herein utilizes less computation intensive template based approach to continuously validate the user across the session. The method comprises preprocessing a PPG data or PPG signal acquired from a wearable device worn by the user to identify segments of negligible motion. A first segment, after authentication using conventional authentication mechanism, serves as the initial reference. The chosen segments are then tested one by one with respect to the reference. If the templates in a segment match those of the reference, it is updated as the new reference, else a re-authentication is triggered.

Abstract: An example system and method facilitates establishment of secure communications between software systems, e.g., a client computing device and one or more servers (e.g., a cloud) using Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) via strategic use of tokens. An example method for overcoming longstanding security loopholes and usability issues with conventional MFA methods includes efficiently securing registration code (e.g., via public key cryptography and tokens) and exchanged data (e.g., message payloads), in part by embedding a signed token (e.g., a JWT token signed by a private key of the server system) in a registration link used by a client system to communicate with one or more servers of a server system.

Abstract: Wellness estimation allows tracking of various health parameters and estimating health condition(s) of the user being monitored. Photophlethysmogram (PPG) based health monitoring systems exist. This disclosure relates generally to PPG based wellness monitoring, and more specifically to a pulse harmonics based wellness estimation. The system collects PPG signals from a user being monitored, as input. The system calculates 12 pulse harmonics from a fundamental frequency of the PPG signal. From the pulse harmonics, further a plurality of key features are extracted, and in turn a wellness metric and a wellness index are calculated, which represents health of the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for handling soft zoning violations comprise assigning a first target device and an endpoint device that is coupled to a switch port of a Fibre Channel (FC) switch to a zone(s). In embodiments, in response to the endpoint device logging into the FC switch, sampled traffic that originates at the endpoint device and ingresses at the switch port may be obtained. In response to determining that the sampled traffic comprises a second traffic that is intended for a second target device that has not been assigned to the zone(s), some action to restrict the second traffic may be performed such as to restrict the non-assigned traffic and prevent devices from sending potentially harmful traffic to other devices that are not assigned to a same zone.

Abstract: Presented are efficient systems and methods for automatically detecting and configuring network connections in Fibre Channel (FC) and similar networks. In various embodiments, this is accomplished by using an I/O module (IOM)'s fabric login (FLOGI) response or FLOGI request to identify the type of an uplink interface as either FC Gateway or FC Direct Attach, determining whether server interfaces coupled to the IOM support FCoE, and then, automatically configuring server interfaces based on the identified type of uplink interface.

Abstract: A Storage Area Network (SAN) access includes a first aggregated switch device that is coupled to a host device, a Local Area Network (LAN), and a SAN, and a second aggregated switch device that is coupled to the host device, the LAN, and the SAN. The second aggregated switch device is connected to the first aggregated switch device via an Inter-Chassis Link (ICL). The second aggregated switch device detect that the ICL has become unavailable and, in response, prevents Internet Protocol traffic between the host device and the LAN while transmitting storage traffic between the host device and the SAN.

Abstract: An ALUA path selection system includes a networking device in a networking fabric that couples a host device to a storage subsystem. The networking device receives a host device communication generated by the host device and retrieves a host device hop count that identifies a number of hops between the host device and the networking device. The networking device also receives a storage subsystem communication generated by the storage subsystem and retrieves a storage subsystem hop count that identifies a number of hops between the storage subsystem and the networking device. When the networking device receives a hop count request from the host device, it transmits the host device hop count and/or the storage subsystem hop count to the host device, and the host device uses the host device hop count and/or the storage subsystem hop count to select an active-optimized path to a LUN included in the storage subsystem.

Abstract: Data Center Bridge (DCB)-based path selection methods and systems reduce packet loss in a network system comprising a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) topology. In embodiments, once traffic received at a LAG node and identified as DCB traffic, links whose DCB status are identified as “up” are assigned to a LAG sub-trunk that may be used to forward the DCB traffic on the LAG trunk, while non-DCB traffic is forwarded to any member of the LAG, irrespective of DCB status. In addition, DCB traffic received from a LAG peer node, which sends traffic on an inter-node link (INL) when no DCB-enabled links to a downstream device are present, is identified as DCB traffic and forwarded on a LAG sub-trunk that comprises DCB-enabled links. An egress mask that indicates to not forward the traffic received at the LAG node on the INL may be overridden, such that DCB traffic may be forwarded.

Abstract: An access management system (AMS) is disclosed that includes SSO capabilities for providing users secure access to protected resources within an enterprise using encryption keys generated by a client application. The AMS receives a request from a client application for a user to access a protected resource. In certain examples, the request comprises a client application identifier, a session identifier and a client public encryption key. The AMS determines if the session identifier points to a valid session and upon determining that the session identifier corresponds to a valid session, transmits information associated with the valid session to the client application. In certain examples, the information associated with the valid session is encrypted using the client public encryption key. Based on information associated with the valid session received from the client application, the AMS determines whether to grant or deny a user access to a protected resource within the enterprise.
