Abstract: A glass-based assembly includes a glass or glass-ceramic substrate comprising a surface. The surface has flaws, such as a population of small cracks extending into the surface, whereby the substrate is weakened relative to ideal strength thereof. The assembly further includes a coating coupled to the substrate and overlaying at least some of the flaws. Ultimate strength of the substrate with the coating coupled thereto is greater than that of the substrate alone, without the coating.

Abstract: A system can be configured to provide an advertiser budget control system designed to work within the confines of a privacy preserving content delivery environment intended to reduce or eliminate third-party cookies.
