  • Patent number: 11966381
    Abstract: Embodiments maintain a data pool that includes heterogeneous data sets, and receiving a first data batch of a data set from a data source into the data pool. Embodiments determine a current state of the data set based on a data set state diagram including a plurality of data set states, and identify a condition of the first data batch. Embodiments further set a data batch state for the first data batch, based on a data batch state diagram, and update the data batch state of a prior data batch received before the first data batch, based on the condition of the first data batch. Embodiments additionally transition the data set state diagram, based on the condition of the first data batch, to an updated data set state. Embodiments maintain a data state repository storing the data set state for each of the plurality of heterogeneous data sets.

  • Publication number: 20240078183
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing storage transactions are disclosed. A transaction between a storage device and a host computing device is identified. The storage device determines that the transaction satisfies a criterion, and inserts data into a packet associated with the transaction. The data may be for identifying a memory subsystem of the host computing device. The storage device transmits the packet, including the data, to the host computing device for storing the packet in the memory subsystem based on the data.

  • Patent number: 11767140
    Abstract: A container, comprising a container body and a container cover frame which are injection molded as a whole. The container body and the container cover frame are connected by means of breaking points; during sealing, the container body and the container cover frame are separated during the process of covering the container cover frame with a container cover film. The material cost is reduced, and the container can be used for multiple times; the provision of an anti-opening member on the container cover frame can prevent opening and avoid secondary sealing; by providing a sealing structure on the container body and the container cover frame, the container has a good sealing effect when reused for multiple times.

  • Patent number: 8370644
    Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate securing data associated with a memory from security breaches are presented. A memory component includes nonvolatile memory, and a secure memory component (e.g., volatile memory) used to store information such as secret information related to secret processes or functions (e.g., cryptographic functions). A security component detects security-related events, such as security breaches or completion of security processes or functions, associated with the memory component and in response to a security-related event, the security component can transmit a reset signal to the secure memory component to facilitate efficiently erasing or resetting desired storage locations in the secure memory component in parallel and in a single clock cycle to facilitate data security. A random number generator component can facilitate generating random numbers after a reset based on a change in scrambler keys used by a scrambler component to descramble data read from the reset storage locations.

  • Patent number: 6553272
    Abstract: An audio interface is coupled to received a music signal and a microphone signal. The music signal and a volume control signal are combined in a multiplier to produce a volume adjusted music signal. In response to an input signal from a user, the volume control signal is gradually changed in predetermined increment levels. Thus, the multiplier gradually changes the audible volume in these predetermined increment levels. The resulting music and microphone signal are stored in corresponding partitions of a single memory, and thereafter provided to a mixing circuit. The mixing circuit combines signal samples read from the memory to produce four output signals each containing first and second channel samples. The resultant 8 channel samples are gated in a formatter with respective channel mute signals which, when asserted, effectively mute their corresponding channel sample.
