Abstract: In some examples, a system receives information from electronic devices comprising network devices and computing devices in a computing environment that are subject to attestations of interfaces of the network devices and the computing devices. For each interface of a given computing device being attested, the system verifies that the interface of the given computing device is connected to an interface of a corresponding network device that is being attested. For each interface of a given network device being attested, the system verifies that the interface of the given network device is connected to an interface of a corresponding computing device that is being attested or an interface of another network device that is being attested.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for detecting the presence of a pathogen, for example, a virus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2), or its molecular components, in health care-related samples and/or environmental samples are disclosed. An example system for improving detection of a pathogen includes biosensor device comprising a detection chip and at least one probe that specifically recognizes a pathogen, where the detection chip comprises a graphene field-effect transistor (FET) chip and the probe, which comprises an aptamer, specifically binds to a DNA, RNA, or protein associated with the pathogen.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for receiving, by a voice action system, data specifying trigger terms that trigger an application to perform a voice action and a context that specifies a status of the application when the voice action can be triggered. The voice action system receives data defining a discoverability example for the voice action that comprises one or more of the trigger terms that trigger the application to perform the voice action when a status of the application satisfies the specified context. The voice action system receives a request for discoverability examples for the application from a user device having the application installed, and provides the data defining the discoverability examples to the user device in response to the request. The user device is configured to provide a notification of the one or more of the trigger terms when a status of the application satisfies the specified context.

Abstract: A method comprises: at a management entity configured to monitor a transceiver system having a transceiver to receive a signal that conveys data frames transmitted by a peer transceiver over a connection: collecting time series values for operating parameters of the transceiver associated with received data frames, including (i) a receive power, and (ii) counts of different media access control (MAC) layer frame errors that respectively indicate degradation levels for system performance ranked from highest to lowest; using the time series values, performing correlations of the receive power against the counts of the different MAC layer frame errors according to a correlation hierarchy that indicates which of the correlations correspond to which of the degradation levels, to produce correlation results; and responsive to the correlation results, determining a degraded component of the transceiver system.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods are provided. In an example, a population density metric and a geographic feature density metric are generated for a region. A morphology classification is generated for the region based on the population density metric and the geographic feature density metric. A communication site is controlled based on the morphology classification.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a FLOGI message sent by a device seeking to log on to a network, wherein the device is in a same zone as reachable devices already logged into the network; in response to the FLOGI message, sending to the device a FC_ID, receiving from the device a query, including the FC_ID, for a list of devices with which the device can communicate, in response to the query, sending to the device an empty list of reachable devices with which the device can communicate within the same zone; after sending the empty list, programming, at least, an access control list (ACL) including information about the device; and after the ACL is programmed, triggering a RSCN message to be sent to the device to cause the device to, for the first time, obtain information about the reachable devices.

Abstract: An initiator emulator is implemented on a control plane of a switch fabric connected to target ports of a storage array having storage configured with logical partitions. After an initiator port of a server logs into the switch fabric and is blocked from discovering the target ports, the initiator emulator, acting as proxy for the initiator port, discovers information that indicates logical partition masking enforced at the target ports for the initiator port. The initiator emulator determines allowed (initiator (I), target (T)) (I, T) port combinations that should be allowed access via the switch fabric based on the information from the discovery. The initiator emulator configures the switch fabric with one or more zones based on the allowed (I, T) port combinations. The initiator emulator then sends to the initiator port an indication of a zone change to the switch fabric.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting unidentified inventory in a network. In one embodiment, data that was collected from a plurality of network devices is received. The data includes at least one device identifier for a neighboring network device of at least one network device of the plurality of network devices. The at least one device identifier for the neighboring network device is compared to one or more device identifiers of known network devices. In response to determining that the at least one device identifier for the neighboring network device does not match a device identifier for the known network devices, the at least one device identifier is added to a list of unidentified inventory.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for receiving at a first network device, a virtual local area network (VLAN) discovery frame from a second network device. The second network device is configured to encapsulate Fiber Channel over Ethernet. The hardware media access control (MAC) address or Port World Wide Name (PWWN) of the second network device is extracted from the VLAN discovery frame. A mapping is identified between the second network device and a corresponding virtual storage area network (VSAN) based on the hardware MAC address or PWWN. The mapping identifies a corresponding VLAN for the second network device to use for login in order to communicate with the corresponding VSAN. Information representing the identified VLAN is sent to the second network device.
