Abstract: Glass-based articles that include a compressive stress layer extending from a surface of the glass-based article to a depth of compression are formed by exposing glass-based substrates to water vapor containing environments. The methods of forming the glass-based articles may include elevated pressures and/or multiple exposures to water vapor containing environments.

Abstract: When rebuilding a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) array in which a drive has failed, if another RAID array contains a mirror copy of the of the rebuilding RAID array content, this mirroring RAID array can be used to more rapidly rebuild the RAID array with the failed drive. Data requests to the rebuilding RAID array can be redirected to the mirroring RAID array; data can be transferred from the mirroring RAID array; or a combination of these can be used to finish rebuilding more quickly. When transferring data to the rebuilding array from the mirroring array, the transfer can be performed as a direct memory access (DMA) process independently of the RAID module of either array.

Abstract: Example peer storage systems, storage devices, and methods provide data scrub using a peer communication channel. Peer storage devices establish peer communication channels that communicate data among the peer storage devices. A storage device may identify data segments from their storage medium for a data scrub process. A peer storage device may be identified that contains corresponding data segments to the data segment being scrubbed. A corresponding lock command may be sent over the peer communication channel to lock the corresponding data segments during the data scrub process. A data scrub error report may be generated from the data scrub process. If an error is discovered during the data scrub process the storage device may use the peer communication channel to retrieve recovery data from peer storage devices to rebuild the data segment with the error.

Abstract: Active noise control (ANC) is performed within a vehicle. Suppressed sound is produced by suppressing frequencies of ambient sound above a threshold frequency that enter an interior cavity of a sound-suppressing enclosure disposed within, and spaced from, interior walls of the vehicle. A microphone disposed within the interior cavity of the sound-suppressing enclosure receives feedback comprising a combination of the suppressed sound produced by the sound-suppressing enclosure and antinoise produced by one or more speakers mounted to a headrest disposed within the interior cavity of the sound-suppressing enclosure. The speakers are controlled to produce the antinoise based on the feedback, such that the antinoise destructively interferes with frequencies of the suppressed sound that are above the threshold frequency.

Abstract: Example tiered storage systems, storage devices, and methods provide tier configuration for routing of data commands by peer storage devices. Each tiered storage device is configured to communicate with a plurality of peer storage devices with storage device identifiers. Each storage device is assigned to a performance tier in a tier configuration that determines which host data tier should be stored in the storage media of the storage device, the local performance tier for the storage device. If the local performance tier of the storage device does not match the host data tier for a data command or stored data element when the storage device determines the host data tier, the storage device selectively forwards the host data to another peer storage device with the performance tier that matches the host data tier.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for offering loyalty rewards for transactions. One exemplary method includes associating, by a computing device, a merchant with a group of reward offerors, and associating, by the computing device, a consumer payment account with a group of reward offerees. The method also includes receiving, by the computing device, and advertising to the reward offerees, a reward offer from the merchant; receiving a transaction associated with the merchant and with the consumer payment account, and identifying, in a data structure, the merchant as a member of the group of reward offerors and the consumer payment account as associated with the group of reward offerees. The method then further includes, based on the advertised reward offer and on the identified merchant, updating, by the computing device, a loyalty reward account associated with the consumer payment account.

Abstract: An active noise control (ANC) system uses a proportional integral (PI) controller to produce a control signal based on feedback that comprises a combination of ambient sound and antinoise. The ANC system generates a corrected control signal based on the control signal and a configurable filtering parameter, and produces the antinoise under control of the corrected control signal such that the antinoise destructively interferes with frequencies of the ambient sound to produce the feedback. The ANC system uses a microphone to receive the feedback and provide the feedback to the PI controller.

Abstract: A method, system, and or computer program product selects and displays keyframes for multiple video files on a graphical user interface (GUI). A first set of keyframes for a first video file and a second set of keyframes for a second video file are received and compared to one another. In response to determining that a keyframe from the first set of keyframes and a keyframe from the second set of keyframes are a duplicate keyframe, a new keyframe for the second video file is selected and displayed on the GUI to represent the second video file.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for context sensitive contact substitution for mobile communications. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for context sensitive contact substitution for mobile communications includes selecting a contact disposed within a list of contacts in memory of a mobile computing device for use in establishing a telephone call with the selected contact through the mobile computing device. The method also includes determining a context of the telephone call and identifying in the list of contacts an alternate contact to the selected contact based upon the determined context. In this regard, the context may be a location of the mobile computing device, or a time of day of establishing the telephone call, to name two examples. Finally, the method includes establishing the telephone call through the mobile computing device with the alternate contact instead of the selected contact.

Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for detecting a manual addition of first content to an interactive display and defining a content boundary around the first content. Additionally, a first automatic rescaling of the first content within the content boundary may be conducted in response to one or more of a manual modification of the first content or a trigger related to a characteristic of the first content. In one example, a manual reposition request is detected with respect to the first content, the first content is moved to a new position on the interactive display based on the reposition request, and a second automatic rescaling of the first content is conducted based on a state of second content that is adjacent to the new position.

Abstract: Example storage systems, storage devices, and methods provide secure transfer of data between peer storage devices using protection information. Data operation commands may be received that use a protection information data block format for transferring a target data block between peer storage devices. A local data operation may operate on the target data block in a first storage device and compare at least one protection information tag value to a first data check value. At least one destination verification protection information tag value and the target data block may be transferred to a second storage device through a peer communication channel. The destination verification protection information tag value may be compared to a destination data block protection information tag value by the second storage device. The second storage device may then execute a data operation on the target data block.
