Abstract: A RAID storage-device-assisted unavailable primary data/Q data rebuild system includes a RAID primary data drive that receives a RAID storage controller device command and DMA's first primary data to a RAID parity data drive. The RAID parity data drive receives a RAID storage controller device command and XORs its first parity data, the first primary data, and its second primary data to produce third primary data that it writes to its storage subsystem. The RAID parity data storage device then receives a RAID storage controller device command and performs GF and XOR operations on the first primary data, the second primary data, and the third primary data to produce second Q data, and DMA's the first Q data to a RAID Q data drive. The RAID Q data storage device receives a RAID storage controller device command and writes the first Q data to its storage subsystem.

Abstract: An autonomous RAID data storage system includes a RAID storage controller device that communicates with RAID data storage devices in order to configure them to perform direct command operations with each other. A first RAID data storage device receives a multi-step command from the RAID storage controller device and performs a first subset of operations associated with the multi-step command, while also performing direct command operations with a second RAID data storage device in order to cause it to perform a second subset of operations associated with the multi-step command, When the first RAID data storage device completes the first subset of operations and receives a first completion communication from the second RAID data storage device that indicates that the second subset of operations are completed, it sends a second completion communication to the RAID storage controller device that indicates that the multi-step command is completed.

The first RAID storage controller device executes commands received via the first NTB subsystem from the host system for a first RAID data storage system that it provides with the first RAID data storage system, and the second RAID storage controller device executes commands received via the second NTB subsystem from the host system for a second RAID data storage system that it provides with the second RAID data storage system.

Abstract: Non-transitory computer readable media are encoded with instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a central computing system, cause the central computing system to connect with multiple service domains and determine that at least one service domain of the multiple service domains is eligible for upgrade. The instructions further cause the central computing system to store an upgrade package for the at least one service domain at a storage service separate from the central computing system and communicate access credentials to the storage service to the at least one service domain. The central computing system receives a communication from the at least one service domain indicative of upgrade status responsive to the at least one service domain having accessed the upgrade package at the storage service and updates a state management database based on the communication.

Abstract: A RAID storage-device-assisted RMW system includes a RAID primary data drive that retrieves second primary data via a DMA operation from a host system, and XOR's it with its first primary data to produce first interim parity data that it writes via a DMA operation to a RAID parity data drive. The RAID parity data drive XOR's its first parity data and the first interim parity data to produce second parity data that overwrites the first parity data. The RAID parity data drive also performs GF operations on the first interim parity data and its second interim parity data and XOR's the results to produce interim Q data that it writes via a DMA operation to a RAID Q data drive. The RAID Q data drive XOR's its first Q data and the interim Q data to produce second Q data that overwrites the first Q data.

Abstract: Forging dies are formed from a plurality of layers stacked together to form an assembly, or laminate. Each respective layer may be cut to form a portion of a die cavity, and the layers may be stacked together such that the cut portions are aligned to form the die cavity.

Each layer may be selectively removable from the die half for maintenance and/or replacement. Disclosed forging dies may be formed of lower grade materials as compared to conventional forging dies, and the number and thickness of layers may be varied to accommodate the specific part geometry of the part being forged. Related methods of making said forging dies and using said forging dies to make parts are also disclosed.

Abstract: An exemplary method for controlling low speed flight of an aircraft having a controller receiving pilot input includes transitioning from a translational rate command (TRC) to a linear acceleration command (LAC) when the controller is displaced above a control transition displacement (CTD), and while in LAC holding speed when the controller is relaxed to CTD.

Abstract: An autonomous RAID data storage device locking system includes first RAID data storage device(s) that store data included in a data stripe, and that are coupled to a second RAID data storage device. The second RAID data storage device receives a command to perform a data update operation on a subset of data included in the data stripe, and transmits a locking request to each first RAID data storage device. When the second RAID data storage device receives a locking confirmation that indicates that each first RAID data storage device is locked, it completes the data update operation on the subset of data included in the data stripe. The second RAID data storage device then transmits an unlocking request to each first RAID data storage device to cause them to unlock, and transmits a completion communication that indicates that the data update operation has been performed.

Abstract: A mixed reality image capture system performs actions to guide a user toward a predefined vantage point to ensure image capture from a consistent vantage point. The system includes a mixed reality frame alignment tool that controls projection optics to project a first virtual target and a second virtual target within a camera field-of view. The first virtual target is projected at a first location within the camera field-of-view that is fixed relative to an identified real-world anchor object and the second virtual target is projected at a second location within the camera field-of-view that is fixed relative to a position of the camera. As the user moves the camera relative to the real-world anchor object, the mixed reality frame alignment tool dynamically updates a position of the second virtual target to mirror movements of the camera.

Abstract: A blockchain-based configuration profile provisioning system includes a client device that generates and broadcasts a blockchain transaction that identifies the client device and is directed to a blockchain address that is included in a blockchain. A blockchain device receives the blockchain transaction broadcast by the client device, executes a smart contract associated with the blockchain address, and determines that the execution of the smart contract has provided an indication that the client device identified in the blockchain transaction is authorized to receive a configuration profile. In response, the blockchain device causes a configuration profile token to be generated and transmitted. A configuration profile system receives the configuration profile token and, in response, retrieves and transmits the configuration profile to the client device.
