  • Patent number: 10067881
    Abstract: A storage device that maps logical addresses to physical addresses includes a memory that stores machine instructions and a processor coupled to the memory that executes the machine instructions to store a compressed mapping table in the memory. The compressed mapping table correlates logical addresses to locations in a storage. The storage device also stores a bundle of uncompressed mapping table entries starting at a first location in a cache and maps a first logical address associated with the uncompressed mapping table entry to the first location.

  • Patent number: 7076038
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of and apparatus employing the method for automatically enabling long-distance calls on the land-line public telephone switched network and debiting the wireless subscriber's account an amount for the long-distance call. The method includes the steps of providing a predetermined telephone number having means for answering the call; answering the call, receiving a password entered by a user; comparing the entered password to a stored password to enable access to the landline public telephone switched system. The method also includes accepting a long-distance telephone number to be called, initiating a call on the land-line network at the entered long-distance telephone number. If the receiving instrument answers, the call is timed. Upon termination of the call, data is stored corresponding to the elapsed time of the call and the subscriber's account is debited an amount for the call.
