The storage controller determines, based on at least the minimum entropy value and the maximum entropy value, whether the received data unit is viable for data reduction. In response to a determination that the received data unit is viable for data reduction, The storage controller performs at least one reduction operation on the received data unit.
US12072838B2	Method for generating a coherent representation for at least two log files Provided is a computer-implemented method for receiving the at least two log files; wherein each log file of the at least two log files includes at least one log entry with at least one time stamp and at least one message; wherein the at least two log files differ from one another with respect to at least one distinctive criteria; extracting at least one additional information of each log file of the at least two log files; and combining each log file of the at least two log files with the extracted additional information into at least two processed log files; wherein the at least two processed log files comply with a coherent representation. A corresponding computer program product and generating unit is also provided.
US12072832B2	Apparatus and methods for high-speed drivers Apparatus and methods for high-speed drivers are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a high-speed driver multiplexes two or more data streams. The high-speed driver is implemented with a mux-then-driver topology that provides multiplexing in a predriver circuit. Thus, the multiplexer is eliminated from the full rate output path to relax timing. Driver amplitude control schemes are also disclosed in which a controllable driver includes a group of differential series source transistor (SST) driver slices that are connected in parallel with one another to drive a pair of output terminals, and a group of attenuator slices that are connected in parallel with one another across the pair of output terminals. Additionally, the controllable driver includes a control circuit that activates an attenuator slice for each SST driver slice that is decommissioned to provide output amplitude control.
US12072831B2	Dynamic PCIE speed-adjusting method and wireless device and user equipment thereof A Dynamic Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) speed-adjusting method is provided. The dynamic PCIe speed-adjusting method is applied to a wireless device. The dynamic PCIe speed-adjusting method may include the following step: the wireless device determines whether to change from the current PCIe speed to a target PCIe speed based on the noise level threshold, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) threshold, the current data-rate requirement, or a combination thereof.
US12072828B2	Article, device, and techniques for serverless message stream processing A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may be executable by a processor to receive a designation of a message bus producer, a set of business logic to be stored in a set of containers, a designation of a message bus consumer, and a designation of a set of message-handling functions. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may generate a serverless application stack, based upon the message bus producer, the set of business logic, the message bus consumer, and the set of message-handling functions. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may cause the serverless application stack to receive a message stream from the message bus producer as streaming data, process the message stream according to at least one function, stored in the set of containers, perform at least one message-handling function of the set of message-handling functions on the message stream, and transport the set of messages to the message bus consumer.
