Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: maintaining a first subset of the plurality of blocks in a first pool, where the blocks maintained in the first pool are configured in SLC mode. A second subset of the plurality of blocks is maintained in a second pool, where the blocks maintained in the second pool are configured in multi-bit-per-cell mode. A current I/O rate for the memory is identified during runtime, and a determination is made as to whether the current I/O rate is outside a first range. In response to determining that the current I/O rate is not outside the first range, the blocks maintained in the first pool are used to satisfy incoming host writes. Moreover, in response to determining that the current I/O rate is outside the first range, the blocks maintained in the second pool are used to satisfy incoming host writes.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed. The method includes receiving a write request to a system and calculating, based on operating parameters of the system, a total processing time associated with servicing the write request in the system. The method also includes determining an actual time taken to store data specified in the write request and, when the actual time is less than the total processing time, delaying sending a completion message for the write request to an I/O interface.

Abstract: Provided are a storage device, system, and method for throttling host writes in a host buffer to a storage device. The storage device is coupled to a host system having a host buffer that includes reads and writes to pages of the storage device. Garbage collection consolidates valid data from pages in the storage device to fewer pages. A determination is made as to whether a processing measurement at the storage device satisfies a threshold. A timer value is set to a positive value in response to determining that the processing measurement satisfies the threshold. The timer is started to run for the timer value. Writes from the host buffer are blocked while the timer is running. Writes remain in the host buffer while the timer is running. A write is accepted from the host buffer to process in response to expiration of the timer.

Abstract: A controller of a non-volatile memory detects errors in data read from a particular physical page of the non-volatile memory. Based on detecting the errors, the controller performs a read voltage threshold calibration for a page group including the particular physical page and a multiple other physical pages. Performing the read voltage threshold calibration includes calibrating read voltage thresholds based on only the particular physical page of the page group. After the controller performs the read voltage threshold calibration, the controller optionally validates the calibration. Validating the calibration includes determining whether bit error rates diverge within the page group and, if so, mitigating the divergence. Mitigating the divergence includes relocating data from the page group to another block of the non-volatile memory.

Abstract: A secure peer-to-peer streaming media session is initiated in a secure data network based on a secure executable container executed by an endpoint device receiving a request, by an originating entity, for initiating the session with a second network entity having a two-way trusted relationship with the endpoint device in the secure data network via a second network device. The secure executable container: generates a conversation object identifying the second network entity as a participant in the session, and causes secure autonomic synchronization of the conversation object with the second network device; generates a message object and adds a reference to the conversation object; and updates a hypercontent body in the message object with streaming media data received from an executable media source in the endpoint device. The updating causes the second network device to retrieve each update of the streaming media data in the hypercontent body during the session.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authentication via camera are provided. In example embodiments, an authentication server transmits, to a mobile device, an identity verification image. The authentication server receives, from a computing device, a scanned image, wherein the computing device is different from the mobile device. The authentication server determines whether the scanned image includes data from the identity verification image. The authentication server transits, to a web server accessed by the computing device, an indication that a user's identity has been verified upon determining that the scanned image includes the data from the identity verification image.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory includes a plurality of cells each individually capable of storing multiple bits of data including bits of multiple physical pages. A controller of the non-volatile memory issues a command to perform a programming pass for a physical page among the multiple physical pages. The controller determines whether or not the programming pass took less than a minimum threshold time and no program fail status indication was received. Based on determining the programming pass took less than a minimum threshold time and no program fail status indication was received, the controller detects an under-programming error and performs mitigation for the detected under-programming error.

Abstract: Methods of measuring a thickness of a material are disclosed. An oscillating signal at a measurement frequency is applied to a circuit including an inductive component and a capacitive component provided using a pair of capacitive sensor electrodes adjacent the material. The measurement frequency is less than a resonant frequency of the circuit, and the resonant frequency is based on the inductive component and the capacitive component. Information regarding a value of a measured parameter is generated based on applying the oscillating signal at the measurement frequency to the circuit. A value of the measured parameter is related to the thickness of the material.

Abstract: Secure access recovery to a network device includes encrypting a user password into an encrypted target password using a secret regenerative key, and adding a one-time password seed and the encrypted target password into a secure recovery container, which is stored securely in the network device and a trusted recovery device. In response to a recovery request, a one-time password can be generated using the one-time password seed to retrieve the encrypted target password from the recovery device. A decrypted recovery password is generated based on executing decryption on an input string based on the secret regenerative key. The encrypted target password, retrieved from the secure recovery container in the network device, is decrypted into a decrypted target password based on the secret regenerative key. Secure access is recovered in response to determining the decrypted recovery password matches at least a part of the decrypted target password.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory includes a plurality of physical blocks each including a respective plurality of cells, where each cell is individually capable of storing multiple bits of data. A controller for the non-volatile memory maintains dynamically resizable pools of physical blocks, including at least a low-density pool of physical blocks in which cells are configured to store a fewer number of bits and a high-density pool of physical blocks in which cells are configured to store a greater number of bits. The controller detects an imbalance in utilization between the low-density and high-density pools and, based on detection of the pool imbalance, restricts data placement in the low-density pool, enables garbage collection from the low-density pool back into the low-density pool to compact the low-density pool, and re-enables data placement to the low-density pool based on availability of a threshold number of free physical blocks in the low-density pool.

The integration of microdevices is facilitated by adding staging pads to microdevices before or after transferring. Creating stages after the transfer of a first microdevice to a substrate for the subsequent microdevice transfer to the first (or the second) microdevice transfer. The stage improves the surface profile of the substrate so that next microdevice can be transferred without the first microdevice on the substrate get damaged by or interfere with the surface of the donor or transfer head. Some embodiments further relate to tiled display device and more particularly, to stacking tiles to a backplane to form the tiled display device.
