Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for securely creating passwords for performing various keyless operations upon a vehicle. In an exemplary method, a computer receives a request for creating a password for a phone-as-a-key (PaaK) device. The computer determines that the PaaK device is present inside the vehicle and that the vehicle engine has been placed in an accessory state or a run state by an authorized PaaK device located in the vehicle. The computer further determines that a passive entry passive start (PEPS) key fob is present inside the vehicle. A prompt is provided for entry of a password. The computer checks to determine if an entered password has been already assigned to another PaaK device. If unassigned, the computer links the password to the PaaK device and authorizes the entered password as a valid keyless starting password for the vehicle.

Abstract: A system includes a vehicle, a first passive Near-Field Communication (NFC) device, and a first mobile device communicatively coupled to the vehicle and including a digital vehicle key. The first mobile device distributes the digital vehicle key to the first passive NFC device and informs the vehicle an instance in which the mobile device has distributed the digital vehicle key to the first passive NFC device.

Abstract: A RAID storage controller storage-device-assisted data update system includes a RAID storage controller device coupled to a host system and RAID storage devices in a “look aside” RAID storage controller device configuration. Based on command(s) from the RAID storage controller device, a first RAID primary data storage device may perform a first DMA operation to access first primary data stored on the host system, and write the first primary data to its first buffer subsystem. The first RAID primary data storage device may then perform a first XOR operation using the first primary data stored in its first buffer subsystem and second primary data stored in its first storage subsystem in order to produce first interim parity data, and write the first interim parity data to its second buffer subsystem. The first RAID primary data storage device may then update the second primary data with the first primary data.

Abstract: A RAID storage-device-assisted deferred parity data update system includes a RAID primary data drive that retrieves second primary data via a DMA operation from host system, and XOR's it with first primary data to produce first interim parity data, which causes a RAID storage controller device to provide an inconsistent parity stripe journal entry in the host system. The RAID primary data drive then retrieves third primary data via a DMA operation from the host system, XORs it with the second primary data and the first interim parity data to produce second interim parity data. A RAID parity data drive retrieves the second interim parity data via a DMA operation, and XORs it with first parity data to produce second parity data that it uses to overwrite the first parity data, which causes the RAID storage controller device to remove the inconsistent parity stripe journal entry from the host system.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is generally directed to mixed reality devices. In one example of the technology, a mixed-reality view is provided to an operator. The mixed-reality view includes both a real-world environment of the operator and holographic aspects. The holographic aspects include at least a first hologram. The first hologram is displayed with a first hologram menu, such that the first hologram menu includes visible selectable menu options associated with the first hologram. In the mixed-reality view, the first hologram menu, including the visible selectable menu options of the first hologram menu, is rotated to face the operator as the operator moves, such that the first hologram menu rotates in a curved manner about the first hologram as the first hologram menu rotates. Responsive to the operator making a selection on the first hologram menu, the first hologram in the mixed-reality view is altered based on the selection.

Abstract: A tag management system can implement a combined synchronous and asynchronous tag-loading scheme. In an embodiment of this scheme, a synchronous tag may be included at the top of or near the top of a content page. This synchronous tag can hide one or more page elements that are to be modified by a subsequent asynchronous personalization tag. Subsequently, the asynchronous personalization tag can update the page element and then cause the page element to be displayed. As a result, flicker between the old and new page elements can be reduced or avoided.

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. The layers are fastened together to form a first die half and/or a second die half of disclosed forging dies. 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: A data-transfer-based RAID data update system includes a RAID storage controller device coupled to a host system and RAID storage devices. The RAID storage controller device receives a command that is associated with a data update on at least one of the RAID storage devices from the host system.

The RAID storage controller device then causes the command to be performed using the first RAID data update technique to provide the data update.

Abstract: Aminoalcohol lipidoids are prepared by reacting an amine with an epoxide-terminated compound are described. Methods of preparing aminoalcohol lipidoids from commercially available starting materials are also provided. Aminoalcohol lipidoids may be prepared from racemic or stereochemically pure epoxides. Aminoalcohol lipidoids or salts forms thereof are preferably biodegradable and biocompatible and may be used in a variety of drug delivery systems. Given the amino moiety of these aminoalcohol lipidoid compounds, they are particularly suited for the delivery of polynucleotides. Complexes, micelles, liposomes or particles containing the inventive lipidoids and polynucleotide have been prepared. The inventive lipidoids may also be used in preparing microparticles for drug delivery. They are particularly useful in delivering labile agents given their ability to buffer the pH of their surroundings.

Abstract: A RAID storage multi-step command system includes a RAID storage system coupled to a RAID storage controller device. The RAID storage controller device identifies a RAID storage system configuration of the RAID storage system and, based on the RAID storage system configuration, generates a first multi-step command definition file for a first RAID storage device in the RAID storage system, and transmits it to the first RAID storage device. The first multi-step command definition file defines first steps that each include first operation(s). Subsequent to transmitting the first multi-step command definition file, the RAID storage controller device generates a first multi-step command that references the first multi-step command definition file and includes first parameter(s) for use in performing each first operation(s) included in the first steps defined by the first multi-step command definition file, and transmits the first multi-step command to the first RAID storage device.

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.
