Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing the data recovery time when failing back to a primary system from a secondary data backup system using virtual machine conversions and incremental exportation for backed-up virtual machine snapshots are described. Upon detection that the primary system is available to receive replicated snapshots for a virtual machine, the secondary data backup system may identify a first virtual machine snapshot out of a chain of snapshots for the virtual machine (e.g., the earliest in time snapshot within the chain or a middle snapshot in the middle of the chain) and transfer a full image snapshot for the first virtual machine snapshot to the primary system. Thereafter, data changes between the next virtual machine snapshot to be transferred to the primary system and the most-recently hydrated virtual machine on the primary system may be identified and then transferred to the primary system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for associating immune system repertoires with specific stimuli (exposures) based on the biophysical properties of the repertoire's receptors. Sequences of a training repertoire are converted into a set of biophysical properties, and a computer-based compact representation of the training repertoire is built using maximum entropy modeling. In one version, an “immunome-wide association study” is performed by computer scoring a test repertoire using several such models to classify the test repertoire as being associated with a biological condition or not. In another version, one or more sets of parameters from the models are found that together classify each model as being from an individual that has the condition or from an individual that does not.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry and control circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include a phased antenna array. Sensors and other circuitry in the electronic device may generate sensor data such as accelerometer data, gyroscope data, magnetometer data, location data, and spatial ranging data. The wireless circuitry may establish and maintain one or more wireless links with external devices based on the sensor data as the device moves over time. For example, the wireless circuitry may perform physical layer beam adjustments, inter-radio access technology handovers, intra-radio access technology handovers, and/or dual connectivity adjustments based on the sensor data. This may allow the device to maintain one or more wireless links without having to sweep the signal beam of the phased antenna array over its entire field of view each time the device has moved.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) supports communication over a first (lower) frequency range and a second (higher) frequency range. The UE determines an extent of preference of the second frequency range over the first frequency range, e.g., based on one or more of the following: sensor measurements; physical channel measurements; battery conditions; weather conditions; voice call activity; indoor/outdoor/in-car status; learned relationships between previous location-time conditions and performance on the second frequency range; etc. The UE device may control search activity and/or measurement activity on the second frequency range based on the preference extent, e.g., by controlling rates of repetition of search and/or measurement on the second frequency range, or by adding a measurement bias to a measurement reporting threshold, or by adding a delay to a measurement reporting time for a measurement, or by disabling search and measurement on the second frequency range.
