  • Patent number: 11983080
    Abstract: Systems and methods that make use of cluster-level redundancy within a distributed storage management system to address various node-level error scenarios are provided. Rather than making use of a generalized one-size-fits-all approach in an effort to reduce complexity, an approach tailored to the node-level error scenario at issue may be performed to avoid doing more than necessary. According to one embodiment, responsive to identification of a failed RAID stripe by a node of a cluster of a distributed storage management system, for each block ID of multiple block IDs associated with the failed RAID stripe, a data block is restored corresponding to the block ID by reading the data block from another node of the cluster having a redundant copy of the data block; and writing the redundant copy of the data block to a storage area of the node that is unaffected by the failed RAID stripe.

  • Patent number: 11983370
    Abstract: A two dimensional touch sensor panel can be thermoformed or curved by another process to a three-dimensional touch sensor panel, and the three-dimensional touch sensor panel can be laminated to a three-dimension surface having a highly curved or spherical shape. In some examples, thermoforming a two-dimensional touch sensor panel into a three-dimensional touch sensor panel can result in strain of the touch electrodes, and can result in non-uniform three-dimensional touch electrodes (distortion of the two-dimensional touch electrode pattern). The strain can be a function of the curved touch-sensitive surface and/or process related mechanical strain from thermoforming. In some examples, a three-dimensional touch sensor panel can be formed with uniform area touch electrodes using a two-dimensional touch sensor panel pattern with non-uniform area touch electrodes in accordance with the strain pattern expected for a given curved surface and thermoforming technique.
