Publication number: 20240086097Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to improving programming to data storage devices, such as solid state drives (SSDs). A first memory device has a first XOR element and a second memory device has a second XOR element. The ratio of the first XOR element to the capacity of the first memory device is substantially smaller than the ratio of the second XOR element to the capacity of the second memory device. A read verify operation to find program failures is executed on either a wordline to wordline basis, an erase block to erase block basis, or both a wordline to wordline basis and an erase block to erase block basis. Because the program failures are found and fixed prior to programming to the second memory device, the second XOR element may be decreased substantially.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Western Digital Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sergey Anatolievich GOROBETS, Alan D. BENNETT, Liam PARKER, Yuval SHOHET, Michelle MARTIN

Patent number: 11198591Abstract: Depth cameras may be placed within an elevator car hoistway to capture depth images of the elevator rope. 3D sensing software may be used to identify the rope within the depth images and assign tracking points to locations along the rope. Tracked images are saved over time and compared to prior tracked images to determine the movement of tracked points between images. Movement of tracked points may be used to determine the velocity, acceleration, frequency of wave motion, and other characteristics of the rope during a period of time. When measured characteristics exceed specified thresholds, the system may take one or more actions to mitigate the undesirable behavior or provide notification of the undesirable behavior.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: TK Elevator Innovation and Operations GmbHInventors: Michael Palazzola, Jie Xu, Stephen Allen, Peter Feldhusen, Frank Dudde, Alan Parker

Patent number: 10533955Abstract: A method for use in measuring a composition of a multiphase fluid which includes flowing a multiphase fluid through a fluid flow path defined by a wall of a fluid conduit is disclosed. The wall includes an electrically non-conductive material. The method includes establishing an electromagnetic field which extends through the electrically non-conductive material of the wall of the fluid conduit into the fluid and measuring a property of the electromagnetic field over a measurement time period. The method also includes transmitting additional energy through the fluid over the measurement time period independently of the electromagnetic field and measuring the additional energy transmitted through the fluid over the measurement time period. The method may be used to unambiguously determine a composition of a multiphase fluid which has different components.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2016Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: M-Flow Technologies LtdInventors: Alan Parker, Giles Edward, Arnault Tremolet, Alex Wall-Clarke

Patent number: 10473595Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a composition of a fluid has a fluid conduit with a wall defining a fluid flow path, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna, and an electrically conductive waveguide member for electromagnetic coupling with the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna and for guiding an electromagnetic field from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna along a waveguide path. The waveguide member is separated from the fluid flow path by an electrically insulating inner region of the wall. The waveguide member defines an opening disposed towards the fluid flow path to permit a portion of the electromagnetic field to extend through the opening and the inner region of the wall into the fluid flow path.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: M-Flow Technologies LtdInventors: Alan Parker, Giles Edward, Alex Wall-Clarke, Arnault Tremolet
