  • Patent number: 11313901
    Abstract: A system may include a trim circuit configured to provide a trim signal to a circuit under test. The trim circuit may be configured to adjust a trim value of the trim signal based on a selection signal and a value signal. The trim signal may cause a key characteristic of the circuit under test to change based on the adjusted trim value. The system may include a production tester configured to determine whether the key characteristic is within a threshold range. Responsive to the key characteristic being within the threshold range, the production tester may stop performing the trim procedure on the circuit under test. Responsive to the key characteristic not being within the threshold range, the production tester may adjust the value signal based on whether the key characteristic is greater than or less than the threshold range.

  • Patent number: 11316582
    Abstract: Satellites provide communication between devices such as user terminals (UTs) and ground stations that are in turn connected to other networks, such as the Internet. Latency for signals to and from the satellite can introduce delays due at least in part to propagation time. The latency adversely interacts with data transfers that result in responses from the UT. Downstream data to the UT is processed to determine if a response is expected. Header data is associated with the downstream data that is sent to the satellite. A resource scheduler onboard the satellite uses the header data to provide a prospective grant to the UT to send the expected response. The UT receives the downstream data, response data such as an acknowledgement is generated, and the response data is sent to the satellite using the prospective grant. The system substantially reduces the latency associated with responsive traffic and improves overall throughput.

  • Patent number: 11314700
    Abstract: Techniques are generally described for adding transactional support to a distributed storage environment. In various examples, first data may be written to a first set of locations in a distributed computer-readable non-transitory storage system through a non-transactional file system interface. In various further examples, metadata associated with the first data may be generated during the writing of the first data. In some examples, the metadata may be stored associated with the first data in at least a second location in a second computer-readable non-transitory memory. In some examples, a manifest may be generated defining a transactional commit of at least a portion of the first data. In some examples, the manifest may be generated by processing the metadata using first committer logic.

  • Patent number: 11314213
    Abstract: A post-harvest crop management platform is provided for regulating conditions of an agricultural crop being dried and/or stored. The platform utilizes data collected from sensors positioned proximate to, or embedded within, an agricultural crop, and analyzes selected crop characteristics affecting the stored crop in multiple sections thereof. The platform identifies parameters relative to achieving a desired crop characteristic level in the agricultural crop, generates a profile of the selected crop characteristic across the multiple sections of the stored crop, and models an application of a fluid flow pattern to achieve the desired crop characteristic level in each section. The crop storage monitoring and management platform also actuates a multi-stack assembly, configured within the stored crop, to automatically apply the fluid flow pattern in one or more cycles that are adjustable to changing conditions within the stored crop in real time.

  • Patent number: 11315637
    Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a memory and controller are provided which allow for erase voltages applied during erase operations to be adaptively changed at elevated temperatures to reduce erase time and prevent erase failures. In response to detecting a lower temperature of the memory, the controller applies a first erase voltage to cells in a block of a die, and in response to detecting a higher temperature of the memory, the controller applies a second erase voltage larger than the first erase voltage to the cells in the block of the die. The controller may apply the different erase voltages depending on whether the temperature of the die falls within respective temperature ranges or meets a respective temperature threshold, which may change for different dies. As a result, successful erase operations at higher temperatures may be achieved.
