  • DATA RECOVERY SYSTEM FOR MEMORY DEVICES
    Publication number: 20220179734
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to data recovery in memory devices. In one approach, a memory device encodes stored data. The memory device reads a codeword from a storage media and determines that a number errors in the codeword exceeds an error correction capability of the memory device. The errors are due, for example, to one or more stuck bits. In response to this determination, one or more data patterns are written to the storage media at the same address from which the codeword is read. The data patterns are read to identify bit locations of the stuck bits. The identified locations are used to correct bit errors of the read codeword that correspond to the identified locations. The corrected code word is sent to a host device (e.g., which requested data from the memory device using a read command).

  • CYBERSECURITY SYSTEM EVALUATION AND CONFIGURATION
    Publication number: 20220156372
    Abstract: Statistical properties of known malware distributions may be used to improve estimates of malware detection metrics such as a base rate of malicious events in a target environment or missed detections (also referred to as false negatives). In particular, numerous synthetic sample distributions may be generated based on the statistical properties of a base data set and/or additional observed data, and used to identify malware distributions that produce overall detection statistics corresponding to model output for live target data. The malware detection metrics for the live target data can then be characterized using the observed distributions of malware (and malware detections) for the synthetic sample distributions.
