Abstract: A motorized roller shade configured to connect to a power over Ethernet network includes a motor for rotating the shade to roll and unroll shade material to and from a roller tube to raise and lower the shade. A rechargeable battery positioned in the roller tube provides power to the motor and to logic and control circuitry also positioned within the roller tube. The logic and control circuitry charges the battery though power derived from the power over Ethernet network, and controls the operation of the motor to achieve a desired target velocity. Synchronized operation of multiple motorized roller shades is achieved though autonomous operation of the shades by their corresponding logic and control circuitry. In exemplary embodiments, a lighting element controlled by the logic and control circuitry allows controlled lighting of the shade.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for metadata management for enabling automated switchover in accordance with a configuration of storage solution that expresses a preference for either maintaining availability (e.g., a non-zero RPO mode) of the storage solution or avoiding data loss (e.g., a zero RPO mode). In one example, responsive to detecting a switchover trigger event, a node of a local cluster of a cross-site storage solution determines whether performance of an automated switchover from a failed cluster to a surviving cluster of the cross-site storage solution is enabled. Responsive to an affirmative determination, the node selectively proceeds with the automated switchover based on the configuration.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for metadata management for enabling automated switchover. An initial quorum vote may be performed before a node executes an operation associated with metadata comprising operational information and switchover information. After the initial quorum vote is performed, the node executes the operation upon one or more mailbox storage devices. Once the operation has executed, a final quorum vote is performed. The final quorum vote and the initial quorum vote are compared to determine whether the operation is to be designated as successful or failed, and whether any additional actions are to be performed.

Abstract: Techniques and systems include assessing health risk and predicting health events of a patient using measured biosignals. The biosignals may be transformed into a photoplethysmography (PPG) signal or pseudo PPG signal, for example, to measure blood volume changes in the patient's blood flow to derive data indicating a disease state or health-related characteristic, such as blood oxygen level, blood glucose level, heart rate variability, hemoglobin, respiration rate, or arrhythmia. Further, the biosignals can include vocal signals, health labels, and self-reported data related to a patient's health. Assessment and prediction techniques include training an artificial intelligence (AI) model to create embedding vectors based on the measured biosignal(s) that are then ingested by a prediction model to assess and/or predict a patient's health risk and/or health events.

Abstract: A system performs static program analysis with artifact reuse. The system identifies artifacts associated with the software program being analyzed. The system processes the identified artifacts for performing static program analysis and transmits either the artifacts or identifiers for the artifacts to a second processing device for performing program analysis. The second processing device receives the artifacts and uses the received identifiers to retrieve the artifacts from a networked storage system. The second device also retrieves stored summaries of previous program analysis from the networked storage system. The program analysis uses the retrieved artifacts to generate work units for static program analysis. The analysis is performed only for those work units that are determined to remain unchanged from previous static program analysis cycles.
