IPC Code(s): F16M11/10, H05K5/02
Abstract: a monitor stand provides a self-aligning and self-orientating swivel lock mechanism for desktop monitors so the monitor stand can be easily locked at the center position to provide better user experience and easier manufacturing. a base of a monitor stand has a die cast plate and a swivel plate attached thereto to allow the monitor stand to rotate from the center position. a lock plunger of a swivel lock mechanism travels along a circular guided cam profile on the swivel plate when the swivel lock mechanism is engaged and the monitor stand is rotated. when the swivel lock mechanism rotates to the center position, a recessed portion of the circular guided cam profile receives the lock plunger of the swivel lock mechanism to thereby lock the swivel plate at the center position. the user engages/disengages the swivel lock mechanism by pushing an engagement button that extends from the base.

Abstract: one example method includes receiving real-time operational data related to the operation of autonomous mobile robots (amrs) belonging to an amr group. clusters of expected behavior, for the amrs, are accessed. the clusters were generated using historical operational data. each cluster defines a possible behavioral scenario for each amr and includes a cluster boundary that defines a limit of the expected behavior and a cluster centroid that defines an average of expected behavior of each amr. resultant vectors that extend from the cluster centroid to the most recent operational point of each amr are generated. a predetermined phase threshold value is used to determine when two or more of the resultant vectors are close to each other. the close resultant vectors are grouped to generate resultant of resultant vectors (rors). the rors are used to identify behavioral scenarios of the amrs.

IPC Code(s): G06F3/06
Abstract: a virtual storage appliance receives a request to increase its total storage capacity, and processes the request by performing a resize operation on all backend virtual volumes that are attached to the virtual storage appliance while efficiently considering constraints of the cloud computing platform and its own system constraints. the resize operation increases a size of each one of the backend virtual volumes, e.g., by the same amount. in response to detecting that the resize operation has been completed on all the backend virtual volumes, the virtual storage appliance indicates that a new, increased total storage capacity of the virtual storage appliance is available for use. the resize operation is performed without moving any previously stored contents of the backend virtual volumes, and without changing the total number of backend virtual volumes that are attached to the virtual storage appliance.

Abstract: a first request is issued to a copy service of a virtual machine (vm) to indicate that an application running in the vm is to be backed up. the request triggers a first time window within which the application is frozen and a second time window, inside the first time window, within which a file system of the vm is frozen. a second request is issued to a snapshot data mover for a snapshot of the application. prior to expiration of the second time window and without having received an indication that snapshot generation was successful, the copy service is notified that generation of the snapshot has been successful. a call, responsive to the notification, is received from the copy service indicating that a cleanup operation on the snapshot can proceed. returning the call from the copy service is delayed thereby providing additional time for generating the snapshot.

IPC Code(s): G06F9/50, G06F9/52
Abstract: the technology described herein is directed towards reducing resource-related messages in a distributed locking system in which exclusive locks can be granted. requests for a resource lock or range thereof received during an interval are queued, along with lock release messages. the queue is processed after the interval to update the resource state, which can result in a reduction in messages. in one example, separate lock request messages received during an interval from the same requestor for two or more consecutive resource ranges are combined, whereby a single lock grant message for the combined resource ranges is sent instead of one for each request. in another example, if in an interval a lock request for a resource/range is received before a lock release, the lock is released before the lock request message is processed. this avoids sending a lock release request message to the previous owner.

Abstract: one example method includes defining experiences for a workload that are to be analyzed at a first machine-learning (ml) model. the experiences define an association between the workload and microservices having computing resources that execute the workload. a probability of using each of the microservices of the experiences to execute the workload is generated at a second ml mode. a determination is made of which of the experiences have a probability that indicates that the experience will generate a low reward when analyzed by the first ml model. the experiences that generate the low reward are removed from the experiences to be analyzed at the first ml model. the experiences that have not been removed are analyzed at the first ml model to determine which experience includes microservices that should be used to execute the workload.

Abstract: a clustered pair of storage systems configured for active-active bidirectional synchronous replication expose a stretched volume over paths to both storage systems. writes to the stretched volume received at each system are replicated to the peer system. the cluster can use a time-to-live (ttl) mechanism by which a non-preferred system continuously requests a ttl grant from the preferred system to remain in the cluster. algorithms that reduce or avoid data unavailability are described and can include assessing the health of the systems in the cluster. an unhealthy system can trigger a one-sided polarization algorithm to notify the peer system that it is polarization winner. an improved polarization technique using a witness to decide the polarization winner includes a system adding a time delay before contacting the witness if the system is unhealthy. a control component can detect an unhealthy system and disable the active-active bidirectional synchronous replication.

Abstract: an information handling system and/or peripheral device includes a printed circuit board having at least one prepreg substrate coupled to at least one bio-based substrate to support operation of electronic components, such as mouse position sensor and scroll wheel rotation sensor, and having a layer of graphene between the prepreg substrate and the bio-based substrate. at end of life, the bio-based substrate is removed from the prepreg substrate, such as by melting of the biobased material, so that the prepreg substrate can be reused. in one embodiment, the prepreg substrate supports power and ground planes that bio-based substrates couple over so that the prepreg substrate can be reused along with the power and ground planes by coupling updated bio-based substrates over the reused prepreg substrate.
