Abstract: In an aspect, camera sensor component receives, during a multi-virtual channel (VC) configuration session, a first configuration of a first VC associated with a first binning mode (e.g., full, 4×4, 8×8, etc.) and a second configuration of a second VC, the second configuration associated with a second binning mode (e.g., full, 4×4, 8×8, etc.). The camera sensor component detects trigger(s) to initiate streaming of activity frames associated with the first VC and the second VC. In response to the trigger(s), the camera sensor component streams first activity frames associated with the first VC in accordance with the first binning mode, and streams second activity frames associated with the second VC in accordance with the second binning mode.

Abstract: Systems and method for power control for a decoder are disclosed. In one aspect, a decoder for a communication bus is put into a sleep or low power mode when the bus is idle such as when blanking information is sent over a camera serial interface (CSI) bus. By alerting the decoder that there is an opportunity for low power operation, power consumption may be reduced and, particularly for battery operated mobile devices, a time to recharge metric may be improved, which improves the user experience.

Abstract: A method that is performed for backing up data. The method includes obtaining, by a backup storage, an incremental backup request; and in response to the incremental backup request, identifying backup extents of a full backup associated with the incremental backup request using backup metadata; generating an intermediate backup file comprising the backup extents, wherein each of the backup extents is a reference to a correspond data block; obtaining modified data blocks from a production host; and updating the intermediate backup file using on the modified data blocks to generate a virtual synthetic backup file.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to a method for backing up virtual machines. The method may include obtaining, by a backup storage, a virtual synthetic full backup request targeting virtual machine data of a virtual machine; and in response to the virtual synthetic full backup request: identifying, in the backup storage, backup extents using backup metadata; generating an intermediate backup that includes the backup extents, where each of the backup extents is a reference to one of any number of virtual machine data blocks in a full backup; obtaining modified virtual machine data blocks from a production host, where the modified virtual machine data blocks are obtained from a virtual machine snapshot of the virtual machine data; and generating a virtual synthetic full backup using the intermediate backup and the modified virtual machine data blocks.

Abstract: Responsibility for protecting a distributed file system is split across different client hosts. Each client host is assigned a subset of the distributed file system to backup. An index host is identified to create a common namespace under which different client file indexes generated by the different client hosts during backups of respective subsets of the file system will be maintained. During backups, different client file indexes are received from the different client hosts. The client file indexes include metadata about files in the file system included in the backups. Each of the different client file indexes are associated to the same common namespace to provide a unified view of all files across all subsets of the file system that have been backed up by the different client hosts.

Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up data. A backup operation can identify blocks that have changed since a most recent backup operation. The blocks that have changed since the most recent backup operation are compared with the blocks that are being used. Only the blocks that are both used and have changed are backed up. This can reduce the size of the backup be excluding blocks that may have changed but are no longer used.

Abstract: Check point recovery based on identifying used blocks for block-based backup files is described. At least one data block is identified that is used by a system since a point in time in response to receiving a request to restore the system based on the point in time. At least one data block, corresponding to the identified at least one data block, is recovered from at least one backup file for the system, without reading each data block backed up via the at least one backup file for the system. The system is restored based on the recovered at least one data block.

Abstract: In a block-based backup system, a technique allows indexing changed files between backups so that files not changed are not re-indexed. Block identifiers specifying backed-up blocks are received. A file table record is accessed to determine a location of a file table zone. Records in the file table store last modified timestamps for files associated with the records. The file table zone location is compared with the block identifiers to select a subset of records. Each record in the subset is associated with a block from the file table zone that corresponds to a block identified by the block identifiers. The subset is parsed to extract timestamps. The timestamps are compared with a next-to-last backup date. If the associated file was modified after the next-to-last backup date, a determination is made that the file blocks were backed up in the last backup and the file should be indexed.

Abstract: One innovation includes an imaging device having an image sensor, a lens having a movable optical element, and an actuator operative to move the one optical element to a plurality of lens positions. The imaging device further includes an electronic display, a power source electrically coupled to the camera system and to the display, the power source (e.g., voltage regulator) configured to provide power to the display and the camera system, a memory circuit configured to store information representing an actuator control value that corresponds to a low-power focus position, and an electronic hardware processor coupled to the memory circuit, the actuator and the electronic display. The processor may retrieve the actuator control value from the memory circuit and controls the actuator to move the optical element to the lens position that corresponds to the low-power focus position when the camera system is in a deactivated state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing green form polystyrene resin. More specifically, recyclable expandable material from general waste is made use of along with virgin expandable material and virgin hardening polymer for preparing green form polystyrene resin. Further, extruding the mixture yields green form compounded polystyrene resin with high melt flow index or gas injection into the green form compounded polystyrene resin results in synthesis of green form expandable capsules or beads thereof with desired properties. The present invention further facilitates the production of polystyrene molded foam used for insulation by puffing expandable green form capsules with pre-expander.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system(s) and method(s) to determine a location of an electronic tag in an area. The system is configured to transmit a series or radio messages and receive one or more response radio messages from an electronic tag, through a transceiver. Further, the system is configured to determining metadata corresponding to each response radio message and distance covered by the transceiver at the time of transmitting the radio message. Based on the distance covered and metadata associated with each response radio message, the system is configured to determine the exact location of the electronic tag in an area.
