Publication number: 20220035531Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for storage management. According to an example, a method for storage management is provided, including: generating a to-be-stored target data stream based on a to-be-stored object, wherein the target data stream includes at least a part of the object, determining whether the target data stream matches at least one stored data stream that has been stored in a storage apparatus, wherein sizes of the target data stream and the at least one stored data stream depend on their respective content, and, if the target data stream does not match the at least one stored data stream, storing the target data stream in the storage apparatus. Therefore, the performance of storage management can be improved, and the storage costs can be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2020Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventors: Wayne Wei Gao, Jiang Cao

Patent number: 10451681Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for testing a condition of a battery. In one embodiment, a testing instruction for the battery is received from a controller of a device. In response to reception of the instruction, the battery is caused in a testing mode in which the battery and a power supply of the device concurrently provide power to the device, a first voltage provided by the battery being greater than a second voltage provided by the power supply. A condition of the battery is determined by monitoring an output current of the battery. Through the method and apparatus of the embodiments of the present disclosure, consumption for battery test may be reduced without a need of interrupting operations of the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Tao Yang, Jing Chen, Jesse Xizhi Cui, James Zhenyu Song, Wayne Wei Zheng

Patent number: 8966607Abstract: A method is provided for filtering unwanted packets in a communication system. The communication system includes a first network, a wireless network and at least one wireless communication device. An instruction to add an entry to a blocked list is received from a specific wireless device. The entry includes blocking criteria. A first packet is received from the first network. The first packet is destined for the specific wireless communication device. If the first packet exhibits the blocking criteria included in the blocked list, the first packet is discarded before it can be distributed by the wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2009Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Rockstar Consortium US LPInventors: Martin Sauter, Ed Illidge, Wayne Wei Ding

Publication number: 20020181229Abstract: The present invention proposes an improved beam structure of a dividing screen, which comprises two stand pillars, a connecting pillar, a beam, and a reinforcing part. A flat board is disposed in the beam. A gutter is disposed on a middle portion of the flat board. Two guide grooves are formed at two sides of the gutter, respectively. An outer edge of each guide groove forms a locking board to join a lamp. A locating portion is formed between the gutter and each guide groove so that a bottom end portion of the reinforcing part can be disposed thereon. Thereby, reinforcement effect can be enhanced, and delicacy and visual effect can be increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2001Publication date: December 5, 2002Inventor: Wayne Wei
