  • Patent number: 11997024
    Abstract: A network infrastructure device (e.g., network switch), that integrates solid-state drive (SSD) storage, using Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) data transfer protocol, for use by remote application hosts is provided. High availability configurations of network switches using direct rate control (RC) feedback for a plurality of submission queues mapped to SSD storage is provided. NVMe over fabric (NVMe-oF) is an implementation of NVMe protocol over a network fabric. Access to SSDs over network fabrics may be controlled using a direct RC feedback signal between an egress queue congestion accounting (associated with a single egress output) and a source node receiving input/output commands from remote hosts for the integrated SSD devices. In some implementations, direct RC feedback signals use hardware based signals. In some implementations, direct RC feedback signals are implemented in the hardware logic (silicon chip logic) within an internal switch fabric of the network switch.

  • Patent number: 11995043
    Abstract: A map-reduce compatible distributed file system that consists of successive component layers that each provide the basis on which the next layer is built provides transactional read-write-update semantics with file chunk replication and huge file-create rates. Containers provide the fundamental basis for data replication, relocation, and transactional updates. A container location database allows containers to be found among all file servers, as well as defining precedence among replicas of containers to organize transactional updates of container contents. Volumes facilitate control of data placement, creation of snapshots and mirrors, and retention of a variety of control and policy information. Also addressed is the use of distributed transactions in a map-reduce system; the use of local and distributed snapshots; replication, including techniques for reconciling the divergence of replicated data after a crash; and mirroring.

    Abstract: In some examples, a system maintains mapping metadata for data in storage, the data divided into chunks, the mapping metadata comprising chunk entries mapping chunk identifiers of the chunks to storage locations, wherein the chunk identifiers are monotonically increasing as chunks are created. The system updates an epoch in response to triggering a creation of a snapshot of the data. In response to a deletion of a first chunk, the system updates a first chunk entry for the first chunk to include a creation epoch identifier and a deletion epoch identifier for the first chunk. In response to a deletion of a first snapshot of the multiple snapshots, the system uses the creation epoch identifier and the deletion epoch identifier to determine whether to remove the first chunk entry from the mapping metadata.

  • Patent number: 11981121
    Abstract: Examples relate to methods to heat a print agent deposited on a print agent, print an image on a print media and heating systems for a heating a print agent deposited on a print media. A heating system comprises a radiation emitter to irradiate a print agent deposited on a print media, a reflector to reflect a radiation emitted by the radiation emitter back to the radiation emitter, and a displacing member to shift the heating system between a pre-heating position wherein the radiation reflected back to the radiation emitter has a higher magnitude and a heating position wherein the radiation reflected back to the radiation emitter has a lower magnitude.

  • Patent number: 11981087
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a system is described. The system includes a fracture channel controller to determine fracture channels for a three-dimensional (3D) printed object. Portions of the 3D printed object along fracture channels are to be solidified to a lesser degree as compared to non-channel portions of the 3D printed object. The system also includes an additive manufacturing controller to control an additive manufacturing device. The additive manufacturing controller controls the additive manufacturing device to 1) solidify portions of a layer of powdered build material to form a slice of the 3D printed object and 2) selectively solidify fracture channels in the slice, wherein the fracture channels are solidified to a lesser degree as compared to non-channel portions.

  • Patent number: 11982108
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a security system having an electronic lock including latch and security modules, to control access to electronic devices. The latch module includes a receiver, a handle, and a torque member rotatably coupled to the receiver and handle. The receiver includes a first recess, a second recess, and a lobe to releasably engage the electronic device within the first recess. The security module includes a tension spring, an actuator, and a lock member having a first pin and a second pin. The tension spring is coupled to the lock member to engage the first pin to second recess when the latch module is in a latched configuration, and hold the security module in a lock-in position. The actuator is releasably engaged to the second pin for rotating the lock member to disengage the first pin from second recess, and release the security module from the lock-in position.

  • Patent number: 11983074
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to consensus protocols in a stretched network. According to an example, a distributed system includes continuously monitoring network performance and/or network latency among a cluster of a plurality of nodes in a distributed computer system. Leadership priority for each node is set based at least in part on the monitored network performance or network latency. Each node has a vote weight based at least in part on the leadership priority of the node. Each node's vote is biased by the node's vote weight. The node having a number of biased votes higher than a maximum possible number of votes biased by respective vote weights received by any other node in the cluster is selected as a leader node.

  • Patent number: 11981149
    Abstract: A device includes an image formation medium supply, a first portion, and a second portion. The image formation medium supply is to supply a non-absorptive, image formation medium along a travel path and to which a ground element is to be electrically connected. The first portion along the travel path is to receive droplets of ink particles and a non-aqueous resin within a dielectric, non-aqueous carrier fluid on the image formation medium to form at least a portion of an image on the image formation medium. The second portion is downstream from the first portion and is to apply, via heat and pressure, a second polymer structure onto the ink particles, the resin, and the image formation medium to produce an image formation medium assembly.
