  • Patent number: 11549872
    Abstract: A test apparatus comprises a probe movably mounted relative to a carrier. The probe comprises an end portion with a surface area of about 5 mm2 or less. The test apparatus can be used in methods of determining a crush strength of an edge of a substrate. Methods can comprise aligning the probe with a test location of the substrate at a predetermined angle relative to a probe axis. Methods can further comprise applying a mechanical force to the test location with the probe in the direction of the probe axis. Also, methods can comprise increasing the mechanical force applied by the probe until the substrate cracks or a predefined force applied by the probe is reached. Based on the mechanical force applied by the probe, a crush strength of an edge can be determined.

  • Patent number: 11297387
    Abstract: A media client device, including a memory and capable of processing Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) channels and IP channels, may receive a recording request to record content on an Internet Protocol (IP) channel. The media client device may provide, to a first device, a source Universal Resource Locator (URL) corresponding to the content, and receive, from the first device, encrypted content (e.g., an encrypted version of the content). The media client device may store, in the memory, the encrypted content, and provide, to a second device, information regarding the encrypted content to permit the second device to generate and store a license and a key. The media client device may receive a playback request to play the content, and obtain, from the second device, the license and the key. The media client device may decrypt, using the license and the key, the stored, encrypted content to obtain the content.

  • Patent number: 10939156
    Abstract: A target DVR device is configured to receive a transfer request for a source DVR device to transfer media content stored on the source DVR device. The target DVR device transmits an initiation request to a media content transfer management system, the initiation request indicating a request to authorize the transfer of the media content from the source DVR device. The media content transfer management system is configured to transmit a command to the source DVR device, the command configured to put the source DVR device in a media content transfer mode. The target DVR device further receives, from the source DVR device over a local connection, a discovery message, and establishes, based on the discovery message, a communication session with the source DVR device over the local connection, and receives, by way of the communication session, the media content from the source DVR device.

  • Patent number: 10723652
    Abstract: Described herein are various antimicrobial soda lime glass articles that have improved resistance to discoloration when exposed to harsh conditions, including manufacturing conditions. The improved antimicrobial glass articles described herein generally include a SLG substrate that has a thickness, t; a compressive stress layer of about 0.15*t or greater; and an antimicrobial agent-containing region having an antimicrobial agent and a thickness less than the thickness of the compressive stress layer. Roughly 2 to 20 microns of the primary surfaces of the glass substrate can be removed prior to development of the compressive stress and antimicrobial agent-containing region. In some aspects, prior-annealed and tempered, or prior-annealed, SLG is employed as the substrate. In some aspects, the substrate includes tin at one surface. The improved SLG substrates experience substantially no discoloration when exposed to harsh conditions. Methods of making and using the glass articles are also described.
