Patent number: 11157307Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing a transaction may include, upon receiving a transaction change request, operating a coordinator to generate a unique transaction identifier for the transaction request, send a data change request along with the unique transaction identifier to sources, and store the unique transaction identifier along with a respective first change count in a transaction status table. The method may also include, upon receiving a query, operating a given source to determine from the transaction status table, a second change count of sources associated with the unique transaction identifier, determine whether the second change count matches the first change count for each source, and when the first and second change counts match in each of the other sources, read data associated with the query from the given source and each source.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ronald Jason Barber, Chandrasekaran Mohan, Vijayshankar Raman, Richard Sefton Sidle, Pinar Tozun

METHOD OF MAKING COATED ARTICLE HAVING ANTIBACTERIAL AND/OR ANTIFUNGAL COATING AND RESULTING PRODUCT
Publication number: 20210317561Abstract: Techniques are provided for making a coated article including an antibacterial and/or antifungal coating. In certain example embodiments, the method includes providing a first sputtering target including Zr; providing a second sputtering target including Zn; and co-sputtering from at least the first and second sputtering targets in the presence of nitrogen to form a layer including ZnxZryNz on a glass substrate. These layers may be heat-treated or thermally tempered to form a single layer including ZnxZryOz. In other examples, two discrete layers of Zn and Zr may be formed. The coating may be heated or tempered to form a single layer including ZnxZryOz. Coated articles made using these methods may have antibacterial and/or antifungal properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2021Publication date: October 14, 2021Applicant: GUARDIAN GLASS, LLCInventors: Rudolph Hugo Petrmichl, Jiangping Wang, Jason Barber -

Patent number: 10452424Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing a transaction may include, upon receiving a transaction change request, operating a coordinator to generate a unique transaction identifier for the transaction request, send a data change request along with the unique transaction identifier to sources having respective source identifiers, and store the unique transaction identifier along with the respective source identifiers in a transaction status table. The computer-implemented method may further include, upon receiving a query, operating a given source to determine from the transaction status table, any other sources associated with the unique transaction identifier, determine whether the unique transaction identifier is in each of the other sources, and when the unique transaction identifier is in each of the other sources, read data associated with the query from the given source and each of the other sources.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ronald Jason Barber, Chandrasekaran Mohan, Vijayshankar Raman, Richard Sefton Sidle, Pinar Tozun

Patent number: 10329190Abstract: In certain example embodiments, a coated article includes a doped zirconium based layer before heat treatment (HT). The coated article is heat treated sufficiently to cause the doped zirconium oxide and/or nitride based layer to result in a doped zirconium oxide based layer that is scratch resistant and/or chemically durable. The doping of the layer has been found to improve scratch resistance.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Guardian Glass, LLCInventors: Jiangping Wang, Jason Barber
