Abstract: A storage system comprises a non-volatile memory configured to store boot code and a control circuit connected to the non-volatile memory. In response to a first request from a host to transmit the boot code, the storage system commences transmission of the boot code to the host at a first transmission speed. Before successfully completing the transmission of the boot code to the host at the first transmission speed, it is determined the boot code transmission has failed. Therefore, the host will issue a second request for the boot code. In response to the second request for the boot code, and recognizing that this is a fallback condition because the previous transmission of the boot code failed, the storage apparatus re-transmits the boot code to the host at a lower transmission speed than the first transmission speed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing accurate command aging in a data storage device. A host provides multiple doorbell requests for the same command queue and a timestamp is saved for each request. When the storage device fetches the commands associated with the requests, the commands are all given the value of the timestamp associated with the requests and placed into the command queue and the aging algorithm of the storage device ages the commands. In an alternate embodiment, the commands may be assigned timestamps based on statistical values such as an average value, between the first and last doorbell request timestamps.

Abstract: A compact angular actuator allows for angular displacement between a first section and a second section. The first section comprises a cam that is circular in cross section and has a wedge-shaped face. The second section comprises two or more constraint components that are in contact with the face of the cam. A hinge joins the first section and the second section in proximity with one another. As the cam is rotated about an axis that is perpendicular to and extends through a center of the circular cross section, the position on the face that the constraint components are in contact with changes. As a result, a force is imparted between the first section and the second section, changing the angular displacement between the two. The actuator fits within a compact volume and allows for precise controlled angular displacement, while allowing that displacement to be maintained without power consumption.

Abstract: A device with a microphone acquires audio data of a user's speech. That speech comprises utterances, that together comprise a session. The audio data is processed to determine sentiment data indicative of perceived emotional content of the speech as conveyed by individual utterances of the user. That information is then used to determine the emotional content of the session. For example, the information may include several words describing the overall and outlying emotions of the session. Numeric metrics may also be determined, such as activation and valence. A user interface may present the words and metrics to the user. The user may use this information to assess their state of mind, facilitate interactions with others, and so forth.
