Thereafter, dynamic interfacing of the target surface of the glass article with a sheared magnetorheological fluid is performed to remove at least a portion of the chemically-induced compressive layer from the glass article, wherein the parameters of the dynamic interfacing of the glass article with the sheared magnetorheological fluid are such that a thickness of the removed portion of the chemically-induced compressive layer is less than approximately 20% of the chemically-induced compressive layer. | 05-30-2013 |
20130225049 | Methods of Finishing a Sheet of Material With Magnetorheological Finishing - Methods of finishing a sheet of material, such as a glass sheet, include finishing an edge portion of the sheet of material with magnetorheological finishing. In one example, the average thickness of the sheet of material between a first face and a second face is from 50 μm to about 500 μm. In another example, the method consists essentially of a single step of finishing the edge portion of the glass sheet with magnetorheological finishing such that the entire edge portion is shaped between the first face and the second face during the a single magnetorheological finishing step. | 08-29-2013 |

20090235071 | CERTIFICATE ASSIGNMENT STRATEGIES FOR EFFICIENT OPERATION OF THE PKI-BASED SECURITY ARCHITECTURE IN A VEHICULAR NETWORK - A system and method for assigning certificates and reducing the size of the certificate revocation lists in a PKI based architecture for a vehicle wireless communications system that includes separating a country, or other area, into geographic regions and assigning region-specific certificates to the vehicles. Therefore, a vehicle need only process certificates and certificate revocation lists for the particular region that it is traveling in. Vehicles can be assigned multiple certificates corresponding to more than one region in the vehicles vicinity as advance preparation for possible travel or transmission into nearby regions. Further, the expiration time of certificates assigned to vehicles corresponding to a given geographic region can be tailored to be inversely proportional to the distance from a registered home region of the vehicle. A scalable design for a back-end certifying authority with region-based certificates can also be provided. | 09-17-2009 |
20100201543 | TRUST-BASED METHODOLOGY FOR SECURING VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS - A vehicle-to-vehicle communications system that employs a challenge/response based process to ensure that information received from a vehicle is reliable. The subject vehicle transmits a challenge question to the suspect vehicle to determine whether the suspect vehicle is a reliable source of information. The process increases a number of tokens in a token bucket for the suspect vehicle if the response to the challenge question is correct, and decreases the number of tokens in the token bucket for the suspect vehicle if the response to the challenge question is incorrect. The subject vehicle accepts a message from the suspect vehicle if the number of tokens in the bucket for the suspect vehicle is greater than a predetermined upper threshold, and discards the message from the suspect vehicle if the number of tokens in the bucket for the suspect vehicle is less than a predetermined lower threshold. | 08-12-2010 |
20110080302 | Reducing the Computational Load on Processors by Selectively Discarding Data in Vehicular Networks - A method is provided for efficiently processing messages staged for authentication in a security layer of a protocol stack in a wireless vehicle-to-vehicle communication system. The vehicle-to-vehicle communication system includes a host vehicle receiver for receiving messages transmitted by one or more remote vehicles. The host receiver is configured to authenticate received messages in a security layer of a protocol stack. A wireless message broadcast by a remote vehicle is received. The wireless message contains characteristic data of the remote vehicle. The characteristic data is analyzed for determining whether the wireless message is in compliance with a predetermined parameter of the host vehicle. The wireless message is discarded prior to a transfer of the wireless message to the security layer in response to a determination that the wireless message is not in compliance with the predetermined parameter of the host vehicle. Otherwise, the wireless message is transferred to the security layer. | 04-07-2011 |
