Abstract: A processing device in a memory sub-system initiates a partial block handling protocol for a closed block of a memory device, the block comprising a plurality of wordlines. The processing device further sends a first programming command to the memory device to program one or more wordlines of the block with first padding data having a first data pattern, wherein the one or more wordlines are adjacent to a last wordline of the block programmed before the block was closed. In addition, the processing device sends a second programming command to the memory device to program all of a set of remaining wordlines of the block with second padding data having a second data pattern comprising fewer bits of data per cell than the first data pattern.

Abstract: Real-time busyness information is for a public place is computed in a privacy-sensitive way, and provided for display in relation to historical busyness information. An aggregate amount of real-time location information available for a particular public place is measured (410), and used to determine (420) whether the public place is privacy-qualified. If the public place is privacy-qualified, real-time busyness information is computed (440) for the public place based on the real-time location information. Further, it is determined (450) whether the computed real-time busyness information is accuracy-qualified, based on a comparison of the real-time busyness information to historical busyness information. If both qualifications are met, the real-time busyness information is output (470) for display or to another application.

Abstract: Modulation of a frequency of a transmitted optical wave includes: at least a first and second slopes for respective frequency sweeps associated with respective points in at least one of a first or second frame. A computed range and a computed velocity are determined based on combining first partial data derived from at least one measurement associated with a first backscattered portion of the transmitted optical wave with second partial data derived from at least one measurement associated with a second backscattered portion of the transmitted optical wave. The first backscattered portion is received during a frequency sweep at the first slope associated with a first point in the first frame. The second backscattered portion is received during a frequency sweep at the second slope associated with a second point in the first frame different from the first point or associated with at least one point in the second frame.
