Abstract: The present disclosure provides a blockchain sharding method, system, and server based on locally repairable system codes. The blockchain sharding system includes k original shards and n?k encoding shards. In each round of consensus, each original shard and m corresponding encoding shards form a local verification group (m<<n?k), and each encoding shard and t original shards participating in generation of the encoding shard form local recovery groups (t<<k). The local verification group is responsible for verifying whether a to-be-verified transaction is legitimate. When a single shard in the verification group is corrupted, the remaining m shards can reach a consistent verification result. According to the principle that the minority is subordinate to the majority, the verification group can still correctly verify the legitimacy of the transaction.

Abstract: This application provides a charging module and a charging system. The charging system includes a charging module. The charging module includes a direct current-to-direct current (DC/DC) charging component, a functional interface, an inverter, and a control and guide component. The functional interface includes a photovoltaic interface. The DC/DC charging component is configured to receive a first power exported by a photovoltaic module to charge an electric vehicle (EV). In this way, after receiving, through the photovoltaic interface, electrical energy converted from solar energy, the charging module does not need to cooperate with an on-board charger (OBC), but uses the DC/DC charging component to charge the EV with a direct current. The charging module provided in this application is not limited by a charging power of the OBC when charging the EV, thereby increasing an actual power for charging the EV and a charging speed.

Abstract: The disclosure discloses a motor driving method, an apparatus, and a system, and relate to the chip field. The solution may include: When a motor control apparatus determines that a motor needs to rotate at a maximum torque, the motor control apparatus controls a driver to output a first current to drive the motor to rotate. The first current is greater than a rated peak current of the driver and is less than or equal to a maximum load current of the driver. This method can resolve a problem that a waste of costs is caused because a through-current capability improved by a redundancy design of a switching transistor of a motor driver cannot be fully utilized for most customers and application scenarios.

Abstract: Some data storage devices select blocks of memory from a free block pool and randomly allocate the blocks as primary and secondary blocks to redundantly store data in a write operation. However, some blocks, such as blocks on the edge of a plane, may not serve well as primary blocks. One example data storage device presented herein addresses this problem by allocating such blocks as secondary blocks instead of primary blocks.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to spin-orbit torque (SOT) magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices comprising a doped bismuth antimony (BiSbE) layer having a (012) orientation. The devices may include magnetic write heads, read heads, or MRAM devices. The dopant in the BiSbE layer enhances the (012) orientation. The BiSbE layer may be formed on a texturing layer to ensure the (012) orientation, and a migration barrier may be formed over the BiSbE layer to ensure the antimony does not migrate through the structure and contaminate other layers. A buffer layer and interlayer may also be present. The buffer layer and the interlayer may each independently be a single layer of material or a multilayer of material. The buffer layer and the interlayer inhibit antimony (Sb) migration within the doped BiSbE layer and enhance uniformity of the doped BiSbE layer while further promoting the (012) orientation of the doped BiSbE layer.

Abstract: A converter and a control method of sending a pulse width modulation (PWM) driver gating signal thereof. When an alternating current voltage output by the converter is in an O area, the converter may be controlled to switch between an upper half-bridge arm straight-through mode and a lower half-bridge arm straight-through mode. In this way, it can be ensured that there is a freewheeling path for a current in an inductive component, and a problem that a switching transistor of a secondary-side circuit is in a straight-through state is avoided.

Abstract: With ever-increasing capacities and performance demanded in new storage devices, the number of control table data entries are increased to store more updates stemming from the increased number of read and/or write operations. To avoid becoming a bottleneck, devices, such as storage devices, and other similar methods and systems as described herein efficiently manage control table sets to reduce latency. This can be accomplished by designating a specific position for each control table set and storing updates to such control table sets in a designated position. Furthermore, data can be efficiently kept in the volatile memory, such as SRAM, or evicted from the volatile memory to the non-volatile memory, such as NAND. Determinations can occur for when the read/write operations should be performed using volatile memory or non-volatile memory. These determinations can be decided dynamically and based on the storage device state and incoming workload, resulting in lower overall latencies.
