  • Patent number: 11960683
    Abstract: A display system for sensing a finger of a user applied to the display system includes a display panel; a sensor for sensing the finger; a sensing light source configured to emit a first light having a first wavelength W1; and a reflective polarizer disposed between the display panel and the sensor. For a substantially normally incident light, an optical transmittance of the reflective polarizer versus wavelength for a first polarization state has a band edge such that for a first wavelength range extending from a smaller wavelength L1 to a greater wavelength L2 and including W1, where 30 nm?L2?L1?50 nm and L1 is greater than and within about 20 nm of a wavelength L3 corresponding to an optical transmittance of about 50% along the band edge, the optical transmittance has an average of greater than about 75%.

  • Publication number: 20230137443
    Abstract: Methods and systems for Vserver migration are provided. One method includes executing a transfer phase of a migrate operation for migrating a Vserver of a source cluster to a destination cluster, using asynchronous baseline transfer to transfer a plurality of source storage volumes configured in a consistency group (CG) for the migrate operation to a plurality of destination storage volumes of a destination cluster; updating a state of each of the plurality of source storage volumes to a sync state indicating completion of a pre-commit phase of the migrate operation to initiate a commit phase of the migrate operation; and generating a snapshot of the plurality of destination storage volumes for performing data integrity checks between data stored at the source cluster and migrated data at destination cluster, after completing a commit phase of the migrate operation.

  • Publication number: 20230133014
    Abstract: Methods and systems for Vserver migration are provided. Update after claims are finalized. One method includes generating a consistency group (CG) having a plurality of source storage volumes of a source storage virtual machine (Vserver) of a source cluster for a migrate operation to migrate the source storage volumes as a group to a plurality of destination storage volumes of a destination cluster; establishing a mirroring relationship between the source and destination cluster for managing asynchronous transfer of the source storage volumes in the CG to the destination storage volumes during a transfer phase of the migrate operation; replicating a logical interface of the source cluster to the destination cluster, the logical interface providing a network address to access the source cluster; and automatically selecting a destination port at the destination cluster, associated with the replicated logical interface.
