Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying a bank account in near real-time are provided. In particular, a computing device may receive a request to initiate a verification of a bank account. The request includes a source account identifier and a destination account identifier of the bank account. The computing device may further determine if the bank account supports real-time payments (RTP) and verify the bank account in near real-time via a first verification process in response to determining that the bank account supports RTP.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to transfer grouping by a transfer platform. In examples, a request to initiate a transfer includes a source account, a destination account, and an amount. A request for a subsequent transfer may include an identifier corresponding to the first transfer instead of specifying a source account. Accordingly, the transfer platform determines that the first transfer and second transfer are each part of a transfer group, such that the second transfer is generated as a dependent transfer from the first transfer. As a result, once the first transfer is complete, the second transfer is automatically initiated due to the association that was formed between the first and second transfer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a managed reliability storage system and method. A data storage system comprises a plurality of storage devices and at least one storage device controller and may also include additional storage device controllers, one or more host systems, and one or more network connections. Aspects of the invention include reliable data storage formats, planned reliability management, threshold reliability management, and software data recovery. Reliable data formats include fault tolerant storage formats such as RAID and implementations thereof. Planned reliability management includes monitoring of system usage and adjustment of usage reflecting an optimal usage model, scheduled and event driven diagnostic execution and conditional adjustment of operating parameters of storage system components. Software data recovery provides copying and reconstruction of data through redundant data formats including parity, ECC, RLL and others encoding methods.

Abstract: An automatic velocity calibrator for a head positioning servo system in a magnetic disk drive performs a velocity calibration in a single pass over the magnetic disks by measuring actuator velocity and adjusting the gain of the velocity transducer in a series of successive approximations. Velocity is determined by turning a timer on in response to a track crossing and turning the timer off after at least two successive track crossings have been detected. A plurality of velocity measurements are stored and averaged. The average velocity is compared to a constant velocity command and an 8-bit latch is incremented or decremented in response to this comparison. A digital to analog converter produces a reference for an automatic gain control amplifier in the servo system which in turn adjusts the velocity transducer gain.
