Title: Decoupled control and data plane synchronization for ipsec geographic redundancy
Inventor: BAID AKASH
IPC: H04L45/586
Filed: 2018-05-31
Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for separately managing control and data plan contexts for a secure connection during a standby node switchover scenario. Primary and standby nodes for a secure connection can both maintain a data plane context for a secure connection such as IPSec. In the event that the primary node becomes inactive, the standby node can immediately begin processing data plane traffic using the data plane context for the secure connection maintained at the standby node. Control plane information necessary for programming and activating a control plane context can be stored until needed. During a switchover, the standby node can retrieve the control plane information and activate the control plane context after it has begun processing the data plane traffic.

Abstract: There is disclosed a hair cutting device (10) comprising a cutting unit (30) having a guard (40) moveable relative a blade carrier (32) to vary a cutting length within a cutting length range. The cutting device (10) has an actuator (16) moveable between first and second positions to move a follower element (50) and the guard (40) between corresponding first and second positions to vary the cutting length between two extreme length settings. The cutting unit (30) is pivotable relative a housing unit (12) of the cutting device (10) between an open position and a closed position for cutting. The follower element (50) is configured to cooperate with the actuator (16) so that, when the cutting unit (30) is in the open position with the follower element (50) and guard (40) in the first position, but the actuator (16) is in the second position, pivoting movement of the cutting unit (30) to the closed position causes the actuator (16) to drive the follower element (50) and the guard (40) to the second position. Accordingly, the actuator (16) can engage with the follower element (50) when the cutting unit is in the closed position, despite the actuator and the follower element having non- corresponding positions when the cutting unit is in the open position.

Abstract: A method for optional external calibration of a calibration-free glucose sensor uses values of measured working electrode current (Isig) and EIS data to calculate a final sensor glucose (SG) value. Counter electrode voltage (Vcntr) may also be used as an input. Raw Isig and Vcntr values may be preprocessed, and low-pass filtering, averaging, and/or feature generation may be applied. SG values may be generated using one or more models for predicting SG calculations. Complex redundancy may be employed to take operational advantage of disparate characteristics of two or more dissimilar, or non-identical, sensors, including, e.g., characteristics relating to hydration, stabilization, and durability of such sensors. Fusion algorithms, EIS, and advanced Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) may be used to implement use of such redundant glucose sensors, devices, and sensor systems in such a way as to bridge the gaps between fast start-up, sensor longevity, and accuracy of calibration-free algorithms.
