  • Patent number: 10404279
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory controller includes a hard-decision Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) decoder with a capability to dynamically select a voting method to improve the decoding in low bit error rate (BER) situations. The hard-decision LDPC decoder dynamically selects a voting method associated with a strength requirement for bit flipping decisions. In one implementation, the voting method is selected based on the degree of a variable node and previous syndrome values.

  • Patent number: 10391197
    Abstract: A wound dressing having anti-microbial activity comprises a first fiber capable of bonding with silver (1) cations. The wound dressing comprises a blend of the first fiber to which silver (1) cations are bonded and a second fiber which is substantially free from silver. The wound dressing comprises from 0.01 to 5.0 percent by weight of silver (1) cations, based on the weight of fiber.

  • Patent number: 10375036
    Abstract: Disclosed is a content management system comprising: a server; a content database, configured within the server, within which are stored one or more channels, each channel comprising one or more stories, each story comprising a title and one or more files; and one or more user devices connected to the network, each user device being associated with a user, each user device being configured to allow the associated user to view one or more stories from a channel to which the associated user has viewing rights. The title of each story and the names of the files contained in the story are stored obfuscated in the content database, and the files are stored encrypted in the content database.

  • Publication number: 20190121705
    Abstract: In some examples, in response to an event at the deduplication system, a system accesses item metadata of a backup item that is backed up to a remote object storage system, the item metadata of the backup item including range information indicating a range of identifier values for portion objects of the backup item stored in the remote object storage system. The system issues, based on the range information, requests to obtain respective attribute information of the portion objects of the backup item stored in the remote object storage system. The system determines, based on the attribute information, a name of a given portion object of the backup item already used.

  • Patent number: 10209892
    Abstract: Examples include the storage of format-aware filter format tracking states. Some examples include storage of a format tracking state for a format aware filter in a backup system in association with a backup object, access of the format tracking state from the backup system in response to detection of a potential continuation of a backup image, and applying the format-aware filter using the accessed format tracking state.

  • Publication number: 20190032821
    Abstract: A pipe connector comprising tubular pin member having an outer peripheral surface and a tubular box member having an inner peripheral surface corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of the pin member and which overlies the outer surface of the pin member when the members are fully engaged together, the members being provided with inter engaging projections and grooves on said peripheral surfaces for axially locking the members together when they are fully engaged together, the pin member further comprising an annular collar shrink fitted onto the pin member above of the peripheral outer surface, the collar comprising a shoulder at one end of the collar adjacent the outer peripheral surface of the pin member, the arrangement being such that when the members are fully engaged together, the tubular box member abuts the shoulder of the annular collar.
