Jacob Sloat 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: 11809721
    Abstract: A method includes determining, by a first component of a memory sub-system controller, a first temperature value of the memory subsystem controller. The method can further include determining, by a second component of a non-volatile memory device, a second temperature value of the non-volatile memory device coupled to the memory sub-system controller. The method can further include modifying a data parameter in response to at least one of the first temperature value or the second temperature value exceeding a threshold temperature value.

  • Patent number: 11586518
    Abstract: A controller of a non-volatile, dual, in-line memory modules (NVDIMM). A NVDIMM is configured to predict thermal events associated with save and restore operations prior to starting the save or restore operation. The controller of the NVDIMM includes a thermal event prediction circuit to predict whether a thermal event will occur in response to a request to perform a save or restore operation, and to cause the controller to perform an action in response to a determination that a thermal event is likely to occur. To predict the thermal event, the controller may be configured to predict a peak temperature of the save or restore operation based on a predicted temperature increase from an initial or starting temperature. The predicted temperature increase may be based on a rate of temperature change during the save or restore operation and a duration of the save or restore operation.

  • Patent number: 11513933
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to a memory device are described. A controller may be configured to predict a temperature of a memory based on a real-time temperature of the controller. Based on the predicted temperature of the memory, the controller may execute a remedial action to reduce an actual temperature of the memory for executing an upcoming operation.

  • Patent number: 11144421
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to a memory device are described. The memory device may include a non-volatile (NV) memory and a controller. The controller may be configured to predict a temperature of the NV memory based on a real-time temperature of the controller. Based on the predicted temperature of the NV memory, the controller may execute a remedial action to reduce an actual temperature of the NV memory for executing an upcoming operation.

  • Publication number: 20210181978
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a memory sub-system and responsive to initiation of an operation, a bit string containing information corresponding to initiation of the operation. The operation can be initiated by circuitry external to the memory sub-system and the bit string can be generated by circuitry external to the memory sub-system. The method can further include storing, responsive to receipt of the bit string, the bit string in a first portion of a plurality of storage locations resident on the memory sub-system.
