  • Publication number: 20250126054
    Abstract: High availability network services are provided in a communications network comprising a plurality of network devices including a network function implemented as two instances configured as an active instance and a backup instance. The backup instance maintains state data such that the backup instance can actively provide services in response to a failure of the active instance. A pool of data forwarding functions sends, over a tunnel connection, ingress data packets to the network function based on a MAC address of the active instance on an overlay network. When the active instance has failed, the backup instance provides the network function and the pool of data forwarding functions sends over the tunnel connection, subsequent ingress data packets to the network function based on an overlay network MAC address of the backup instance.

  • Publication number: 20250066043
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an inflatable structure comprising a plurality of inflatable ribs attached to a flexible and foldable sheet, and to an inflatable deployment system that deploys such a structure. The inflatable deployment system is suitable for use with or on a spacecraft, and further comprises an electronics module that triggers deployment, a support panel for the inflatable structure, and an inflation system that controls the flow of gas to the inflatable structure. In the deployed condition the plurality of ribs are inflated and the sheet is caused by the ribs to form a substantially planar surface, become less folded, expose a greater exposed surface area compared to in the stowed condition, or become more expanded out. The inflatable structure is secured to the support panel in such a manner that when the ribs are deflated the inflatable structure is located against and/or retained by/to the support panel and when the ribs are inflated the ribs project beyond the support panel.

The thin film magnet structure includes one or more ferromagnetic domains and is coupled to one or more optical structures. Each of the one or more ferromagnetic domains have a magnetization that is switchable between two or more states. Each of the one or more optical structures is configured to increase absorbance of light at a target wavelength in the thin film magnet structure, such that in response to illumination of a ferromagnetic domain with continuous-wave light including the target wavelength, that ferromagnetic domain undergoes all-optical magnetic switching.

  • Patent number: 12199653
    Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) acoustic wave resonator (AWR) filter circuits and methods. Embodiments essentially de-couple the stopband or notch characteristics of an RF filter from the passband characteristics. Accordingly, the de-coupled parameters can be individually designed to meet the specifications of a particular application. Partially-hybridized or fully-hybridized series-arm and parallel-arm AWR filter building blocks enable “de-coupled” RF filters having (1) wideband and low insertion loss passbands and (2) wideband deep notches (stopbands) with a specifically placed notch center frequency, without compromising the passband characteristics. The AWR filter building blocks include an inductance L that matches (resonates with) the electrostatic capacitance CO of the corresponding AWR within a desired passband.

  • Publication number: 20240405800
    Abstract: An apparatus with a communication system includes a method of operating the communication system. The communication system includes first device at a first location, a radio frequency transceiver at the first device, a waveguide extending between the first device to a second device at a second location, and a processor. The processor is configured to transmit a first radio frequency signal through the waveguide toward the second location, receive a second radio frequency signal in response to the first radio frequency signal, determine a presence of a fault in the waveguide from the second radio frequency signal, and transmit a third radio frequency signal via the radio frequency transceiver outside of the waveguide when the presence of the fault is determined.

  • Patent number: 12111731
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include detecting a failure of a first memory subsystem of a plurality of memory subsystems. A first recovery instruction is sent to a second memory subsystem of the plurality of memory subsystems. The first recovery instruction directs the second memory subsystem to recover a first subset of data stored by the first memory subsystem. A second recovery instruction is sent to a third memory subsystem of the plurality of memory subsystems. The second recovery instruction directs the third memory subsystem to rebuild a second subset of data stored by the first memory subsystem. The first and second subsets of data differ from one another.

  • Publication number: 20240305857
    Abstract: Video content enhancement methods, systems and devices are disclosed. An input video 11 is processed to generate an augmentation descriptor 4 from it, the augmentation descriptor 4 defining augmentations that enhance the content of the input video 11. An output video 14 is generated by combining the augmentations defined by the augmentation descriptor 4 with the input video 11, so that playback of the output video 14 features said augmentations. A timecoded transcript is generated from at least an audio portion of the input video 11, and the timecoded transcript is processed to generate from it a set of transcript-derived enhancements. The set of transcript-derived enhancements are added to the augmentation descriptor 4 as augmentations for enhancing the content of the input video 11.
