Publication number: 20240154435Abstract: An indexed sequence of bits in a buffer is allocated for tracking a battery charging state. The indexed sequence of bits has a first number of bits. A battery voltage of a rechargeable battery is sampled at a sampling rate. For each sampled battery voltage, the battery voltage is compared with a voltage threshold. A next bit position in the indexed sequence of bits is identified. In accordance with a determination that a comparison result is true, a predefined first value is added to the next bit position. A second number of bits that are filled with the predefined first value is determined. A ratio between the second number and the first number is also determined. In accordance with a determination that the ratio exceeds a threshold step-down ratio, a battery charge voltage is stepped down. The rechargeable battery is charged to a step-down voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Michael Jonathon Chen, William Alan Saperstein, James Robert Lim, David Wang

Publication number: 20240104149Abstract: A computing system is provided, including one or more processors configured to provide a social media platform configured to serve a content feed to a user. The processor is further configured to generate user content interaction information by detecting user interactions with the content feed and provide a recommendation engine that selects content items for display in the content feed based on the generated user content interaction information. The processor is further configured to receive a refresh request to refresh the recommendation engine and refresh the recommendation engine at least in part by masking or resetting the user content interaction information upon receiving the refresh request. After the refresh, the processor is further configured to generate, via the recommendation engine, post-refresh content items based on the masked or reset user content interaction information, and transmit the post-refresh content items to the user device for display in the content feed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Jordan Furlong, Han Cheng, Ciaran Farley, Alan Yee, Isha Mukesh Shah, Riley Gish, Amanda Hanna, Jinyi Lu, Wenrong Zhang, Yiming Chen, Tsz Ling Christina Leung

Patent number: 11914523Abstract: This disclosure provides techniques hierarchical address virtualization within a memory controller and configurable block device allocation. By performing address translation only at select hierarchical levels, a memory controller can be designed to have predictable I/O latency, with brief or otherwise negligible logical-to-physical address translation time. In one embodiment, address transition may be implemented entirely with logical gates and look-up tables of a memory controller integrated circuit, without requiring processor cycles. The disclosed virtualization scheme also provides for flexibility in customizing the configuration of virtual storage devices, to present nearly any desired configuration to a host or client.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Radian Memory Systems, Inc.Inventors: Robert Lercari, Alan Chen, Mike Jadon, Craig Robertson, Andrey V.

Patent number: 11907569Abstract: A host stores “context” metadata for logical block addresses (LBAs) in a manner tied to physical location. Notwithstanding log-structured or copy on write processes, the host is then provided with immediate context when the host is called upon to assist a memory controller with data identified by physical location, for example, for memory reconfiguration, garbage collection, wear leveling or other processes. The metadata for example can provide the host with insight as to which data may be moved to enhance performance optimization and where that data can be placed. In one embodiment, the host writes back one or more references that span multiple layers of indirection in concert with write of the underlying data; in another embodiment, the context can point to other metadata.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Radian Memory Systems, Inc.Inventors: Alan Chen, Craig Robertson, Robert Lercari, Andrey V.

Patent number: 11740801Abstract: This disclosure provides techniques for managing memory which match per-data metrics to those of other data or to memory destination. In one embodiment, wear data is tracked for at least one tier of nonvolatile memory (e.g., flash memory) and a measure of data persistence (e.g., age, write frequency, etc.) is generated or tracked for each data item. Memory wear management based on these individually-generated or tracked metrics is enhanced by storing or migrating data in a manner where persistent data is stored in relatively worn memory locations (e.g., relatively more-worn flash memory) while temporary data is stored in memory that is less worn or is less susceptible to wear. Other data placement or migration techniques are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Radian Memory Systems, Inc.Inventors: Andrey V.

Publication number: 20230263593Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of dental medical treatment, and specifically discloses a method for using a CBCT (Cone Beam Computer Tomography) for automatically positioning a tooth, which comprises the following steps: S01, archiving CT data; S02, calculating AI and generating AI results: S03. entering CT reading by a client S04, downloading and loading the CT data; S05, opening a function of a tooth lens; S06. selecting a corresponding tooth position in a tooth position list; and S07, selecting a 3D tooth rendering mode. The function of the ‘tooth lens’ is added into traditional CT reading, which is suitable for clinical disease diagnoses such as ‘tooth extraction, root canal therapy, tooth repair’ and the like in oral treatment, and doctors can precisely and quickly position the single tooth through selection for the tooth position, which facilitates more comprehensive analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2022Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: Fussen Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Alan CHEN, John YEP
