  • Patent number: 11984181
    Abstract: The disclosure relates in some aspects to a design for a data storage apparatus with a non-volatile memory that includes a block of memory comprising N wordlines partitioned into a first sub-block comprising a first subset of the N wordlines and a second sub-block comprising a second subset of the N wordlines different than the first subset. In some aspects, the disclosure relates to detecting a failure in a first sub-block. The second sub-block is then marked, in response to a failure detection in the first sub-block, with an initial designation as an unusable sub-block, and a test of the second sub-block is performed to determine a usability of the second sub-block. Based on the test, the second sub-block is then marked with a second designation that is one of a tested usable sub-block or a tested unusable sub-block.

  • Patent number: 11978544
    Abstract: Described are embodiments of methods and systems for using a removable data storage device to efficiently transfer medical data from a medical device to a remote server. In some embodiments, the medical device tracks transfer statuses of medical data stored on a local storage. A transfer status assigned to a data portion of the medical data may inform the medical device of whether that data portion needs to be transferred, has been transferred, or has been successfully ingested at the remote server. The medical device can use information stored on the removable data storage device in conjunction with the tracked transfer statuses to determine which portions of the stored medical data should be transferred to a physically coupled removable data storage device. After completing a data transfer process, the medical device can update transfer statuses of portions of medical data that was transferred to the removable data storage device.
