  • Patent number: 11995340
    Abstract: A read-disturb-based read temperature information access system includes a read-disturb-based read temperature information management subsystem coupled to a plurality of storage devices that each include a read-disturb-based read temperature information Application Programming Interface (API). Each storage device generates and stores read-disturb-based read temperature information associated with that storage device, and when a read-disturb-based read temperature information command is received from the read-disturb-based read temperature information management subsystem that conforms to the read-disturb-based read temperature information API, the storage device receiving that read-disturb-based read temperature information command will execute it to perform at least one operation using the read-disturb-based read temperature information associated with and stored by that storage device.

  • Patent number: 11983431
    Abstract: A read-disturb-based read temperature time-based attenuation system includes a storage device that is coupled to a global read temperature identification subsystem. The storage device determines current read disturb information for data stored in a block in the storage device during a current time period, processes the current read disturb information and previous read disturb information that was determined during at least one previous time period that was prior to the current time period in order to generate a read temperature for the data stored in the block, generates a local logical storage element read temperature map that includes the read temperature, and provides the local logical storage element map to the global read temperature identification subsystem.

  • Patent number: 10540058
    Abstract: A home network can comprise at least one appliance with an appliance interactive display and at least one mobile device with a mobile interactive display. An application on the mobile device or the appliance can be configured to enable a user to create a user interface on the appliance or mobile device interactive displays. The user interface can be cast to the other of the mobile device or the appliance on which it was created and can be interacted with independent of where the user interface was created.

  • Patent number: 4557064
    Abstract: A plastic display card holder for receiving and gripping a card for display purposes comprises interconnected spaced-apart parallel wall portions. The wall portions are connected in a manner to provide an entrance for insertion of a display card. A plurality of resilient plastic projections are provided on the holder which flex as the display card is inserted into the holder through the entrance. The flexed projections grip the inserted display card as the resilient projections attempt to recover to their normal unflexed position.
