Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that manage storage operations directed to dual-port solid state disks (SSDs) coupled to multiple hosts are disclosed. With this technology, context metadata comprising a checksum is retrieved based on a first physical address mapped, in a cached zoned namespace (ZNS) mapping table, to a logical address. The logical address is extracted from a request to read a portion of a file. A determination is made when the checksum is valid based on a comparison to identification information extracted from the request and associated with the file portion. At least the first physical address is replaced in the cached ZNS mapping table with a second physical address retrieved from an on-disk ZNS mapping table, when the determination indicates the checksum is invalid. The file portion retrieved from a dual-port SSD using the second physical address is returned to service the request.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a pump flow (Q) of a pump are disclosed. A method for determining a pump flow (Q) of a pump includes calculating an inverse of a polynomial equation defining a DP-Q performance curve of a pump, where the inverse is a Q-DP polynomial equation defining the performance of the pump, receiving a pump head (DP) value from a pump head sensor associated with the pump, computing a pump flow based on the Q-DP polynomial equation, comparing the computed pump flow to a preset target flow rate, and automatically controlling a pump parameter of the pump such that the calculated flow rate becomes the preset target flow rate.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of configuring a device to have certificate(s) by ordering asynchronous work requests. Portions of work that are to be performed to configure a device to have certificate(s) are performed based at least in part on a triggering event that indicates that the device is to be configured. Asynchronous work requests that are configured to, when executed, initiate performance of the respective portions of the work are generated. A hierarchical work tree that includes hierarchical nodes that represent the respective portions of the work is generated. The hierarchical work tree defines an order in which the portions of the work are to be performed. The asynchronous work requests are executed in the order defined by the hierarchical work tree, which initiates creation of the certificate(s) and delivery of the certificate(s) to the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storage systems using storage device monitoring for load balancing are described. Storage devices may be configured for data access through a common data stream, such as the storage devices in a storage node or server. Data operations from the common data stream may be distributed among the storage devices using a load balancing algorithm. Performance parameter values, such as grown bad blocks, program-erase cycles, and temperature, may be received for the storage devices and used to determine variance values for each storage device. Variance values demonstrating degrading storage devices may be used to reduce the load allocation of data operations to the degrading storage devices.

Abstract: A method and system directed to performing account activity tracking is provided. More specifically, user activity associated with a user's first account may influence when a user's second account is signed out due to inactivity. Accordingly, an activity request including a first identifier associated with a first user account may be received from a first entity, and based on the first identifier associated with the first user account, a second identifier associated with a second user account may be retrieved, where the first identifier and the second identifier are linked to one another. Activity information for the second identifier associated with the second user account may be obtained which may be provided to the entity. A decision as to whether or not to keep the user signed in may be based on the activity information.

Abstract: Derivative cancellation techniques have been used to linearize transistors using multiple discreet devices. However at frequencies approaching and in the mm-wave regime the use of individual devices no longer works due to the parasitics associated with combining the devices. In this invention device structures are described which apply the derivative cancellation technique in a single device thus removing the detrimental impact of combining. In one example, an N-polar transistor structure includes a channel; a cap structure comprising a plurality of cap layers on or above the channel; a source contact and a drain contact to the channel; and a castellated, stepped, or varying pattern formed in the cap layers so that gate metal deposited on the pattern forms at least two different threshold voltages and current combines in the ohmic region with essentially zero parasitic inductance.

Abstract: Systems and methods for modifying features of a user interface of an online store in a manner based on a location of a customer are provided. The preferences for the features are identified for various geographical regions. The modification may be performed in real time, in the sense that the modification is not performed until a customer from a different region attempts to access the store. When this happens, the features of the online store are modified based on preferences or trends associated with a geographical region within which the customer is located, and a revised user interface is presented to the customer. The overall effect is that the store with the new revised user interface emulates stores created by merchants native to the customer's region.

Abstract: Based on the interaction data and response data, an interaction monitoring platform may determine a first known sentiment and a second known sentiment, identify a first pattern and a second pattern in the interaction data, and generate a first pattern-level sentiment and a second pattern-level sentiment based on the known sentiments and the identified patterns. A binary indicator may indicate which identified patterns are exhibited in a subset of the interaction data. The platform may train a gradient boosting model using known sentiment as a target variable and using binary indicators and pattern-level sentiments as input data. The platform may predict a sentiment corresponding to a subset of interaction data with unknown sentiment that exhibits one or more of the first pattern or the second pattern based on a binary indicator and the trained gradient boosting model.
