  • Patent number: 11907567
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system is connectable to a host. The memory system includes a non-volatile memory and a controller electrically connected to the non-volatile memory and configured to control the non-volatile memory. The controller is configured to specify a partition format of a predetermined partition included in the non-volatile memory based on master boot record information stored in the non-volatile memory. The controller is configured to specify a file system that manages the predetermined partition. The controller is configured to specify logically erased first data and physically erase the first data when logical erasure of data in the predetermined partition is detected by a method consistent with the specified file system.

  • Patent number: 10971241
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and a system for handling read disturb errors in a memory unit. Status information related to each memory block in the memory unit is retrieved and plurality of target memory blocks with valid pages and having highest block erase count are identified for patrolling. Each valid page in the target memory blocks are patrolled for identifying read disturb errors. Finally, each valid page having read disturb errors are recycled, thereby effectively handling the read disturb errors in the memory unit. The method disclosed herein involves patrolling of only the valid pages in the memory block, thereby reducing the time required for handling the read disturb errors and improving the overall performance. Also, the method ensures data retention reliability within each memory blocks by patrolling the memory block in the order of highest block erase counts.

  • Patent number: 7375160
    Abstract: A rubber-reinforced vinyl resin which is obtained by polymerizing a vinyl monomer in the presence of a rubber-like copolymer comprising at least two members selected from (I) an ethylene-?-olefin based rubber having a Mooney viscosity of 15 or higher, (II) an ethylene-octene based rubber having a Mooney viscosity less than 15, and (III) an ethylene-octene based rubber having a Mooney viscosity of 15 or higher; a process for producing the resin; and a composition containing the rubber-reinforced vinyl resin. They are excellent in moldability and gives a molded articles which are excellent in appearance in terms of gloss, flow marks, weld appearance, color unevenness at welded portions, colorability and the like, and excellent in impact resistance, for example, impact resistance at low temperatures as well as in weatherability.
