Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for adaptive block mapping are described. In some examples, a first superblock and a second superblock may be established across one or more dice of a memory device. The superblocks may each include one or more blocks from a plurality of planes of a memory die. In some examples, the second superblock may include at least one bad block (e.g., defective block) in addition to one or more good blocks (e.g., non-defective blocks).

Abstract: An electronic torque control and distribution system is provided for a hybrid propulsion vehicle. The drive thrust of the hybrid propulsion vehicle is distributed between an electric engine and an internal combustion engine through a transmission system. The transmission system delivers the torque of both engines to the vehicle wheels. The electronic torque control and distribution system is slaved to a control unit, and includes a controller for incorporating a fuzzy logic processor to predict through soft computing techniques the torque contributions of the electric engine and of the internal combustion engine. A sensor estimates the vehicle polluting emissions. The controller and the sensor are both connected to the control unit.
