Patents by Inventor Daniel James Gunderson

Daniel James Gunderson has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11907570
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for predictive media management for read disturb are described. A read disturbance manager can monitor a bit error rate for a block of a memory die. The read disturbance manager can detect that a degradation of the bit error rate satisfies a degradation threshold specific to the memory die. In some cases, the read disturbance manager can perform a write operation to write data from the block of the memory die to a second block of the memory die based on detecting that the degradation of the bit error rate satisfies the degradation threshold.

  • Patent number: 11664082
    Abstract: A health check manager may detect a trigger for a capacitor health check for a memory sub-system. The health check manager may determine a number of write commands in a set of one or more pending commands for a memory die of the memory sub-system and set a start time for the capacitor health check based on the number of write commands in the set of one or more pending commands. In some cases, the health check manager may perform the capacitor health check in accordance with the start time.
