Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods to provide a firmware update to devices configured in a redundant configuration in an Information Handling System (IHS) are disclosed. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include first and second Remote Access Controllers (RACs) that each includes computer-executable instructions to receive a firmware update image associated with the firmware device, and gather data associated with a behavior of the firmware device following the firmware update after the firmware device is updated with the firmware update image. Using the data, the instructions generate a score for the firmware update based at least in part, on the behavior of the IHS following the firmware update.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for an append-only block-oriented object storage system. An unstructured storage object is stored in cloud storage. A block is data is received, from a client, to append to the unstructured storage object. A universally unique identifier of the client, and client contextual information regarding the block of data, are received from the client. The client contextual information comprises an identifier of a most recently appended block from the client. When the identifier of the most recently appended block from the client matches a stored identifier associated with the universally unique identifier of the client, the block of data is appended to the unstructured storage object, and the stored identifier associated with the universally unique identifier of the client is updated in accordance with the received client contextual information.

Abstract: A method of detecting blood vessel shadows in an anterior posterior x-ray radiograph comprising the steps of: generating candidate sub areas of the radiograph showing changes in contrast above a threshold level; supressing rib shadow edges; eliminating lung tissue shadow edges, and categorizing and eliminating nodule shadows.
