  • Publication number: 20240090394
    Abstract: Facility layouts and configurations for an automated crop production system for controlled environment agriculture. In particular implementations, the core of the facility comprises a controlled growth environment and a central processing system. The controlled growth environment includes systems for exposing crops housed in modules, such as grow towers, to controlled environmental conditions. The central processing system may include various stations and functionality both for preparing crop-bearing modules to be inserted in the controlled growth environment, for harvesting crops from the crop-bearing modules after they have been extracted from the controlled growth environment, and for cleaning or washing crop-bearing modules for re-use. The controlled growth environment may include vertical farming structure having vertical grow towers and associated conveyance mechanisms for moving the vertical grow towers along one or more grow lines.

  • Publication number: 20240006010
    Abstract: In some situations, a leak on a wordline may be a localized problem that causes data loss in a block that contains the wordline. In other situations, such as when the leak occurs near a peripheral wordline routing area, the leak can affect the entire memory die. The storage system provided herein has a fatal wordline leak detector that determines the type of leak and, accordingly, whether just the block should be retired or whether related blocks should be retired.

  • Publication number: 20230306872
    Abstract: A real-time virtual reality welding system including a programmable processor-based subsystem, a spatial tracker operatively connected to the programmable processor-based subsystem, at least one mock welding tool capable of being spatially tracked by the spatial tracker, and at least one display device operatively connected to the programmable processor-based subsystem. The system is capable of simulating, in virtual reality space, a weld puddle having real-time molten metal fluidity and heat dissipation characteristics. The system is further capable of importing data into the virtual reality welding system and analyzing the data to characterize a student welder's progress and to provide training.

  • Publication number: 20230282294
    Abstract: A storage system receives a request to read data that is located in a wordline undergoing a program operation. Instead of waiting for the program operation to complete, which would increase read latency, the storage system aborts the program operation and reconstructs the data from successfully-programmed memory cells in the wordline and from data latches associated with unsuccessfully-programmed memory cells in the wordline. The reconstructed data is then sent to the host. The program abort command can be similar to one used to provide a graceful shutdown in a power-loss situation.

  • Patent number: 10762802
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention pertain to a computer program product and processor based computing system that provides processing means for executing coded instructions and input means for interacting with said processing means to create a virtual welding environment. The system establishes an objective to change a functional or operational state of a virtual article, and directs the end user to perform at least one virtual welding operation for changing its functional state. The system trains new users and inexperienced welders on the fundamental aspects of welding.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for dynamically resizing logical storage blocks. A controller for a non-volatile storage device includes a block component that determines a total number of available erase blocks of the non-volatile storage device. A controller for a non-volatile storage device includes a size module that determines numbers of erase blocks from available erase blocks to include in each of a plurality of logical blocks as a function of a total number of available erase blocks such that the numbers of erase blocks for each of the logical blocks deviates from each other by less than a predetermined deviation limit. A controller for a non-volatile storage device includes a map module that generates logical blocks for the non-volatile storage device by assigning determined numbers of erase blocks to each of the logical blocks.

  • Patent number: 10114562
    Abstract: In a multi-plane non-volatile memory, good blocks of different planes are linked for parallel operation for storing long host writes. Where bad blocks in one or more planes result in unlinked blocks, the unlinked blocks are configured for individual operation to store short host writes and/or memory system management data. Unlinked blocks may be configured as Single Level Cell (SLC) blocks while linked blocks may be configured as SLC blocks or Multi Level Cell (MLC) blocks.
