Patent number: 9658948Abstract: Embodiments are directed to methods for improving the efficiency at which problem areas are identified and prioritized for an existing large, multi-module software system. In some embodiments, a workload mapper generates workload maps that identify the intersection between defect risk scores accumulated for various modules and a log of the modules that are accesses by a given workload. A graphical user interface (GUI) provides the ability to sort, search, compare and display the workload maps against various sort, search and/or compare criteria.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jesse L.

Publication number: 20160083282Abstract: A method of forming a laminated glass structure includes introducing a continuous ribbon of flexible glass substrate having a thickness of no greater than about 0.3 mm to a substrate material. The substrate material has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is greater than that of the flexible glass substrate. The flexible glass substrate is laminated to the substrate material at an elevated temperature. The substrate material is cooled to introduce a compressive stress across a thickness of the flexible glass substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2014Publication date: March 24, 2016Inventors: Jean-Marc Martin Gerard Jouanno, Kiat Chyai Kang, Sue Camille Lewis, Govindarajan Natarajan, Yu Xiao

Patent number: 9284211Abstract: Methods provide for post processing at least one flexible glass sheet with the step of providing the glass sheet with an initial shape. The method then further includes the step of flexing the glass sheet into a secondary shape from the initial shape. The method then further includes the step of post processing the glass sheet while biasing the glass sheet into the secondary shape. The method then still further includes the step of releasing the glass sheet to at least partially return to the initial shape.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2014Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventors: Jianqiang Gu, Jean-Marc Martin Gerard Jouanno, William Brashear Mattingly, III, Wenchao Wang, Yoshiki Yamashita, Rui Zhang

Publication number: 20150370503Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2015Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventors: Dustin A. Helak, Marc A. Martin, Jason Webster

Patent number: 9057824Abstract: Display devices and antiglare layers that minimize glare and the appearance of sparkle are described. One type of display device includes a pixel substrate, having a pixel array, and an antiglare layer. The antiglare layer has a surface roughness with a spatial frequency such that a typical focal length of the antiglare layer is either at least four times larger than an optical distance between a surface of the array of pixels and the antiglare layer, or at least three times smaller than the optical distance between the surface of the array of pixels and the antiglare layer. In some embodiments, a pixel pitch of the array of pixels is less than 120 ?m. In some embodiments, the antiglare layer may have a power spectral density that is elliptical, with a minor axis of the power spectral density aligned with a color direction of the array of pixels.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2013Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventors: Jacques Gollier, Jean-Marc Martin Gerard Jouanno, Garrett Andrew Piech
