Abstract: A method includes opening a flow path from a gas stick through a variable orifice, a chamber, and an outlet isolation valve of the chamber. The method further includes causing a gas to flow through the flow path at a flow rate setpoint. The method further includes actuating an opening of the variable orifice to establish a choked pressure regime within the chamber, the choked pressure regime being achieved by causing a first pressure upstream of the variable orifice to be at least two times a second pressure downstream of the variable orifice. The method further includes closing the outlet isolation valve to cause the chamber to be filled with the gas from the gas stick. The method further includes measuring a pressure rate-of-rise within the chamber.

Abstract: A UEFI client initiates an SMB negotiation with a remote server for an augmented capability protocol that supports secure distributed namespace compounding via customized commands and trusted share-specific and transaction-specific data structures, referred to herein simply as secure blobs, communicated over a secure tunnel. The client platform may include a nonvolatile storage resource containing factory-installed AC modules for both the client and the server, as well as factory stored profile information for known remote shares. Upon successfully negotiating for the AC protocol, the UEFI client may retrieve and install the AC client and server modules to enable the AC protocol. The AC client may mount a local namespace, which includes a namespace folder for each remote share. The AC server module, in combination with remote share profile information provided by the AC client, enables the remote server to mount a virtual distributed namespace and function as a RVDN server.

Abstract: Disclosed information handling systems and methods employ a background module running in an operating system of a client platform to evaluate, after defined context-relevant events including, as examples, reboot, application launch, return from sleep/idle mode, change of network connection, and change of device, the impact of the user context change, and to take or recommend appropriate action. Embodied solutions may augment existing communication protocols, such as the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, that enable and support shared access to files across nodes of a distributed system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to power management within the context of wireless ad-hoc networks. More specifically to the effects of using different transmit powers on the average power consumption and end-to-end network throughput in a wireless ad-hoc environment. This power management approach reduces the system power consumption and thereby prolongs the battery life of mobile nodes. Furthermore, the invention improves the end-to-end network throughput as compared to other ad-hoc networks in which all mobile nodes use the same transmit power. The improvement is due to the achievement of a tradeoff between minimizing interference ranges, reduction in the average number of hops to reach a destination, reducing the probability of having isolated clusters, and reducing the average number of transmissions including retransmissions due to collisions. The present invention provides a network with enhanced end-to-end throughput performance, and lower transmit power.
