Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for backward compatibility of federated data centers. A method includes of synchronizing an object configuration includes creating an object at a global network manager, where the object is associated with one or more properties, and where each of the one or more properties is associated with a minimum virtualized networking version. The method includes determining at the global network manager a minimum compatibility version of the object that is a largest minimum virtualized networking version associated with the one or more properties. The method includes determining a span associated with the object, where the span includes one or more local network managers. The method includes, based on the minimum compatibility version and the span, synchronizing the object at each of the one or more local network managers or determining not to synchronize the object at each of the one or more local network managers.

Abstract: A multi-tube burner system for efficient mixing of fuel and air for combustion is disclosed. The multi-tube burner system includes an air supply plenum, a multi-tube burner, and a combustor. Further, the multi-tube burner includes a set of tubes including the air supply section to receive combustion air and supply the received combustion air to a mixing section. Furthermore, the multi-tube burner includes a set of fuel pipes to receive fuel from a set of fuel inlets and supply the received fuel to a set of fuel plenums. Furthermore, a pair of fuel receiving channels receive the fuel from the set of fuel plenums and a fuel injector pin injects the received fuel from the pair of fuel receiving channels to the mixing section. Further, a set of mixing holes allow egression of the combustion air and the fuel mixture from the mixing section to the combustor.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes negotiating, by a networking device, a security association with a peer and receiving, by the networking device, an Internet Protocol (IP) packet from the peer. The IP packet includes an outer IP header, an ESP header, a protocol header, data, an ESP trailer, and ESP authentication data. The method further includes performing, using an IP Security (IPSec) authentication algorithm, authentication checks for the outer IP header, the ESP header, the protocol header, the data, the ESP trailer, and the ESP authentication data of the IP packet.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for embedding static information (such as serial numbers, etc.) on objects by modifying their exterior shape slightly, dubbed surface modulation. Data is embedded when the object is created and can then be read using readers with the appropriate resolution. According to one example of the disclosed technology, a method of embedding data expressed as a binary sequence onto an object surface includes establishing a coordinate system over an object surface, computing a transform of the coordinate system to a frequency domain, mapping the binary sequence to an integer value, replacing the highest frequency coefficient of the transform with the integer value, computing an inverse of the transform, producing a vector expressed in the coordinate system, and fabricating at least a portion of the object surface according to the vector.

Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure facilitates application process defined using application objects to operate based on structured and unstructured data stores. In one embodiment, a mapping is maintained indicating the data objects defined according to an application data model that are respectively stored in a structured data store and an unstructured data store. Upon receiving an application object (of an application process) specifying an operation based on a data object according to the application data model, the mapping is examined to identify a specific data store storing the data corresponding to the data object. The operation is then translated to a set of instructions consistent with the interface requirements of the identified specific data store. The set of instructions are then executed on the specific data store to cause the operation to be performed based on the data object stored in the specific data store.
