Patent number: 10949110Abstract: Apparatus and method for managing metadata in a data storage device, such as a solid-state drive (SSD). In some embodiments, a non-volatile memory (NVM) includes a population of semiconductor memory dies. The dies are connected a number of parallel channels such that less than all of the semiconductor dies are connected to each channel. A controller circuit apportions the semiconductor memory dies into a plurality of die sets, with each die set configured to store user data blocks associated with a different user. The controller circuit subsequently rearranges the dies into a different arrangement of die sets so that at least one die is migrated from a first dies set to a second die set. A map manager circuit is configured to establish an array of pointers in a memory to identify contiguous portions of map metadtata that describe user data stored in the at least one migrated die.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Stacey Secatch, David W. Claude, Steven S. Williams, Jeff Rogers

Patent number: 10872015Abstract: A data storage system can connect a plurality of remote hosts to a plurality of die sets resident in a semiconductor memory. Execution of at least one data access command addressed by a remote host of the plurality of remote hosts can occur prior to a power interruption event being detected for at least one die set of the plurality of die sets. User-generated data associated with the at least one data access command may then be flushed to a predetermined location responsive to an available resource budget associated with the power interruption event.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Stacey Secatch, Steven S.

Publication number: 20200004448Abstract: A data storage system can arrange semiconductor memory into a plurality of die sets that each store a top-level map with each top-level map logging information about user-generated data stored in a die set in which the top-level map is stored. A journal can be stored in at least one die set of the plurality of die sets with each journal logging a change to user-generated data stored in the die set of the plurality of die sets in which the journal and top-level map are each located.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2018Publication date: January 2, 2020Inventors: Stacey Secatch, Steven S.

Patent number: 9310212Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for hybrid off-board vehicle navigation are disclosed. In the system, a multi-stop route package is created and sent from a route server to a navigation device. The route package can include a collection of vehicle attributes and corresponding road restrictions for guiding the vehicle towards its destination. The server can optionally push the route package to the vehicle in an email message or other stored communication. When an off-route condition is detected, the navigation device can send a route request to the server that includes the vehicle attributes and the corresponding road restrictions. The server can respond with a partial route correction that is determined based on the vehicle attributes and road restrictions.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2014Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.Inventors: Jeff Rogers, Matt Crowder, Kerry Somerville, Richard Pearlman, Matthew Chaffin, Bert Yagrich

Patent number: 8645132Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention improve content manipulation systems and methods using speech recognition. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method comprising configuring a recognizer to recognize utterances in the presence of a background audio signal having particular audio characteristics. A composite signal comprising a first audio signal and a spoken utterance of a user is received by the recognizer, where the first audio signal comprises the particular audio characteristics used to configure the recognizer so that the recognizer is desensitized to the first audio signal. The spoke utterance is recognized in the presence of the first audio signal when the spoken utterance is one of the predetermined utterances. An operation is performed on the first audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Sensory, Inc.Inventors: Todd F. Mozer, Jeff Rogers, Pieter J.

Patent number: 8327979Abstract: A portable, non-motorized automatic lift and transport apparatus allows users to lift and transport a small, powered vehicle with minimal physical exertion and without the need for secondary power source. The apparatus is comprised of a base and platform connected to a gear housing. The gear housing telescopically engages and moves vertically within a vehicle mount via a gear system. The drive wheels of the small, powered vehicle to be transported power the gear system attached to the gear housing to rotate the gear system and subsequently lift the to-be-transported vehicle using its own power source. A storage position is provided that can be used without disengaging a transmission.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2009Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Inventors: Patrick Lynch, Jeff Rogers, Jeff Crouch, Joseph D. Whitney
