Title: Library for seamless management of storage devices
Inventor: YATINDRA VAISHNAV
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2016-05-18
Abstract: A method for translating storage requests involves receiving 502 a storage request from an application in a first command language. A storage path is determined 504 for the request, the storage path including a storage device, such as a hard disk drive, accessible via a RAID controller. A second command language, usable for accessing the storage device, is identified 506. The storage request is translated 508 into the second command language using a storage library of command languages. The request is then performed 510 by using the second language to access the storage device. The command language into which the instruction is translated may be a protocol such as SCSI, ATA, SATA, SAS, or NVMe. The storage path may include two RAID controllers, each of which operates using a separate command language.

Title: Traffic sheering in access networks
Inventor: PRADEEP PUTHUSSERY
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2016-06-30
Abstract: An access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) element (122) communicates over an interface (126) with a packet gateway (PGW) server (124) to receive information specific to an individual traffic flow between a communications network (104) and a user equipment (102) over a first type of access network, in which the information received relates to the traffic type of the individual traffic flow and the first access network type. The ANDSF instigates a determination of a specific one of the first access network and a second type of access network for carrying the traffic flow between the network and the user equipment,based on the information received. The server: communicates to the user equipment the identity of the specific one of the first and second access networks for selection for carrying the individual traffic flow. The first and second access networks may be 3GPP (116) and non-3GPP (108) respectively. The non-3GPP networks may be trusted or untrusted access networks (118). Communication between the ANDSF and PGW is done using the Diameter protocol.

Title: De-aliased source separation method
Inventor: DIRK-JAN VAN MANEN
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 2016-11-10
Abstract: A method for separating the unknown contributions of two or more sources from a commonly acquired aliased wavefield signals includes the determination of models with reduced support in the frequency-wavenumber domain which reconstruct the wavefields of independently-activated sources after a coordinate-transform of the acquired wavefield data and/or in a coordinate-transformed domain. The sources are activated with a varying parameter from one activation to the next, the parameter being one or more of signal amplitude, spectrum, activation time and location. The varying causes one or more scaled replications of a wavefield with cone shaped support in the frequency wavenumber domain. The sources may be simultaneous, or near simultaneous. Aliasing ambiguity in the separation is reduced by applying a coordinate transformation.

Title: Arrangement for and method of imaging targets with improved light collecting efficiency over extended range of working distance
Inventor: CAIHUA CHEN
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 2016-04-08
Abstract: An imaging lens assembly for an imaging reader includes a base lens having an optical power, a target side facing a target, and an imager side facing an imager. An aperture stop directly contacts the imager side and has an aperture through which return light from the target passes. The aperture is magnified in apparent size by the optical power of the base lens to form a magnified entrance pupil as seen through the target side. A variable focus liquid lens focuses the return light captured by the magnified entrance pupil over an extended range of working distances onto the imager. The magnified entrance pupil captures more of the return light from the target to pass through the base lens and the liquid lens to the imager, and also allows the target to be illuminated with a lower brightness to conserve electrical power.
