Abstract: In embodiments of mobile device child share, a mobile device can display a default device lock screen on an integrated display device, and receive an input effective to transition from the default device lock screen to display a child lock screen without receiving a PIN code entered on the default device lock screen. The mobile device can receive a second input effective to transition from the child lock screen to display a child space. The mobile device implements a device share service that activates a child share mode of the mobile device, and restricts functionality of device applications and access to device content based on designated restriction limits.

Abstract: A die assignment scheme assigns data in the order it is received, to multiple memory dies. Any busy dies are skipped until they become ready again so that the system does not wait for busy dies to become ready. Immediately sequential writes to the same die are prohibited so that reading speed is not impacted.

Abstract: A die assignment scheme assigns data, in the order it is received, to multiple memory dies with some randomness. Randomization events, such as skipping dies or reversing direction, occur at intervals, with a deterministic assignment scheme used between randomization events. Intervals between randomization events may be of random length, or of fixed length.

Abstract: In embodiments of restricted execution modes, a mobile device can display a device lock screen on an integrated display device, and transition from the device lock screen to display a shared space user interface of a shared space. The transition to display the shared space user interface is without receiving a PIN code entered on the device lock screen. The mobile device implements a restricted execution service that is implemented to activate a restricted execution mode of the mobile device, and restrict access of a device application to device content while the restricted execution mode is activated. The restricted execution service can also allow a shared device application that is included in the shared space access to the device content while the restricted execution mode is activated.

Abstract: A method and system for cache management in a storage device is disclosed. A portion of unused memory in the storage device is used for temporary data cache so that two levels of cache may be used (such as a permanent data cache and a temporary data cache). The storage device may manage the temporary data cache in order to maintain clean entries in the temporary data cache. In this way, the storage area associated with the temporary data cache may be immediately reclaimed and retasked for a different purpose without the need for extraneous copy operations.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for remapping logical addresses between memory banks of discrete or embedded multi-bank storage device. The method may include a controller of a storage device tracking a total erase count for a storage device, determining if an erase count imbalance greater than a threshold exists between banks, and then remapping logical address ranges from the highest erase count bank to the lowest erase count bank to even out wear between the banks. The system may include a controller that may maintain a bank routing table, an erase counting mechanism and execute instructions for triggering a remapping process to remap an amount of logical addresses such that an address range is reduced for a hotter bank and increased for a colder bank.

Abstract: A simulator facilitates virtual welding activity of pipe and open root weld joints. The simulator may include a logic processor based system operable to execute coded instructions for generating an interactive welding environment that emulates welding activity on a section of virtual pipe having at least one virtual weld joint. It also includes a display connected to the logic processor based system for visually depicting the interactive welding environment, wherein the display depicts the section of virtual pipe. A mock welding tool is provided for performing virtual welding activity on the at least one weld joint in real time where one or more sensors are adapted to track movement of the input device in real time for communicating data about the movement of the input device to the logic processor based system.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing write amplification while maintaining a desired level of sequential read and write performance is disclosed. A controller in a multi-bank flash storage device may receive host data for writing to the plurality of flash memory banks. The controller may organize the received data in multi-page logical groups greater than a physical page and less than a physical block and interleave writes of the host data to the memory banks with that striping factor. A buffer RAM is associated with each bank of the multi-bank memory where the buffer RAM is sized as equal to or greater than the size of the multi-page logical group.
