Publication number: 20230034463Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving a data modification operation at a primary storage location. A determination is made whether data stored at the primary storage location is currently being synchronized with data stored at a secondary storage location. In response to determining that the data stored at the primary storage location is not currently being synchronized with the data stored at the secondary storage location: one or more instructions to satisfy the data modification operation are sent, and a bit in a first bitmap is set. Additionally, an extent that includes the modified track is determined, and a bit in a first summary bitmap is set. The bit set in the first bitmap corresponds to a track modified as a result of satisfying the data modification operation, while the bit in the first summary bitmap corresponds to the extent that includes the modified track.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: David Brent Schreiber, Matthew Sanchez, Matthew J.

Publication number: 20220382121Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a coherent aperture array system for steering an optical source beam. The system may have a plurality of spaced apart, steerable emitters each being able to be mechanically aimed at a remote target location to steer portions of the source beam toward the target location. Each steerable emitter has a subaperture controllable independently of a remaining reflective surface of its associated steerable emitter, to receive and reflect a subportion of the source beam portion. The subportion forms a sense beam which is reflected toward a phase imaging system. A separate reference beam is created from the portion of the source beam travelling toward each steerable emitter. Each sense beam and each reference beam are thus associated uniquely with one of the steerable emitters. A phase imaging system is responsive to each of the reference beams and the sense beams, and determines phase differences between the portions of the source beam being transmitted from each steerable emitter.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2021Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Robert Matthew PANAS, Robert MCHENRY, David Brent MARQUAND, Eric Peter MCNAUL
