Abstract: A cooktop is designed to be operated either in a cooking operation or in a lighting operation, with the modes of operation not being able to occur together. Within cooking operation, the cooktop controller controls heating devices of the cooktop and light sources of the cooktop in a cooking lighting mode, wherein a luminosity of the light sources is limited to a cooking luminosity below the maximum luminosity in the process. Within lighting operation, the light sources are not controllable by the cooktop controller but can only be controlled by the light controller in an illumination lighting mode, wherein to this end the light controller receives the corresponding commands for the light sources from an external control apparatus by way of a communications device. In this case, a luminosity of the light sources can be maximal.

Abstract: A drive-assisted RAID storage system includes a RAID storage controller device coupled to RAID primary data storage devices each storing primary data for a stripe, and a RAID parity data storage device storing parity data for the stripe. The RAID parity data storage device receives stripe parity data update commands from the RAID storage controller device that cause it to retrieve respective interim parity data generated by each of the RAID primary data storage devices and including respective stripe update sequence identifiers. The RAID parity data storage device uses the respective interim parity data to generate updated parity data. When the respective stripe update sequence identifiers in the respective interim parity data that was used to generate the updated parity data indicate that parity update operations for the stripe are complete, the RAID parity data storage device transmits a stripe parity update completion message to the RAID storage controller device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for replicating a data container of a source storage server at the logical level in an unordered stream of individual data units are described. In certain embodiments, the replication operations can be performed without regard to the differences in geometry of physical persistent storage of the source and destination storage servers and without regard to the differences in data container format of the source and destination storage servers. An initial replication operation of the source data container is performed by transferring the data objects within the source data container to a replica data container in the destination storage server as an unordered stream of individual data units while preserving data object identifiers of the source data objects. Afterwards, incremental replication operations can be performed to capture modifications to the source data container over time after the initial replication operation.
