  • Publication number: 20240092580
    Abstract: A system and method using the system are disclosed which involve the displacement of loads in a storing area. The system comprises an automatically guided vehicle (AGV) for detecting and moving loads to store or to retrieve, and a set of rails elevated from the ground and supporting the loads. The AGV is configured to move under the rails. Computer vision or any other related detection system are provided to autonomously find the way for the AGV in combination with a control unit. The method computes AGV's path to retrieve or store a load, or alternative path to avoid obstacles, or remove itself from the path of another automatically guided vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230295031
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a glass ribbon can comprise flowing a glass-forming ribbon along a travel path. The glass-forming ribbon can comprise a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. A thickness can be defined between the first major surface and the second major surface. The method can comprise heating the first major surface of the glass-forming ribbon at a target location of the travel path while the glass-forming ribbon is travelling along the travel path. The heating can increase a temperature of the glass-forming ribbon at the target location to a heating depth of about 250 micrometers or less from the first major surface. The method can comprise cooling the glass-forming ribbon into the glass ribbon. Prior to the heating, the glass-forming ribbon at the target location can comprise an average viscosity in a range from about 1,000 Pascal-seconds to about 1011 Pascal-seconds.

  • Publication number: 20190366682
    Abstract: A laminate structure is provided that allows the surface renewal and rework of a device by the selective removal of layers of the laminate. The selective removal may be achieved by heating or irradiating the laminate structure, such that an adhesive layer debonds and allows the removal of a damaged layer to provide a pristine surface.

  • Patent number: 10152367
    Abstract: An example computer implemented method includes determining a fingerprint of the system dump, which identifies a model of the system and a type of the system dump. The method further includes receiving, from a first user device, a request to identify system dumps matching a set of system dump criteria and identifying the first user device based on the fingerprint of the system dump matching the set of system dump criteria specified, and sending access information of the system dump. The method also includes recording a query and its result as executed by the first user device against the system dump and sending, for receipt by a second user device, access information of the result of the query in the database, in response to the second user device requesting identification of system dumps matching said set of system dump criteria.

An example method includes determining a plurality of storage volumes corresponding to each respective server from a plurality of servers. The computer implemented method also includes determining a reachability score of a first storage volume from the plurality of storage volumes, where the first storage volume is associated with a first server, and where the reachability score is based on a number of connectivity channels associated with the first storage volume. The computer implemented method also includes selecting the first server that is associated with the first storage volume for execution of the task. In an example, the computer implemented method may communicate the reachability score to a user device and receive the selection of the first server in response.

  • Patent number: 9710183
    Abstract: A primary physical storage device has effectively limitless apparent free space. Responsive to receiving a request to dynamically allocate an amount of desired free space on the primary device to store new data on the primary device, and responsive to determining that an amount of actual free space on the primary device is insufficient to permit such allocation, existing data stored on the primary device is moved to a secondary storage device. The first existing data appears to still be stored on the primary device. Responsive to receiving a request to retrieve existing data from the primary device, and to determining that the existing data has been moved to the secondary device, the existing data is moved back to the primary device. The existing data was originally stored on the primary device, and is currently stored on the primary device or has been moved to the secondary device.
