Abstract: Methods for operating a non-volatile storage system utilizing a shared-bit-line NAND architecture are described. A shared-bit-line NAND architecture includes one or more pairs of NAND strings, wherein each pair of the one or more pairs of NAND strings shares a common bit line. In some embodiments, a pair of NAND strings includes an odd NAND string adjacent to an even NAND string. Prior to programming a memory cell associated with the even NAND string, an odd channel associated with the odd NAND string (i.e., the NAND string of the pair that is not selected for programming) is precharged to a bit line inhibit voltage, floated, and then boosted to a second voltage greater than the bit line inhibit voltage as an even channel associated with the even NAND string is precharged. Subsequently, the odd channel may be boosted (e.g., via self-boosting) prior to programming the memory cell.

Abstract: A buckle assembly has a base portion with a strap retaining bar and an inner opening disposed between the side walls, and a locking portion having a strap retaining bar and a protrusion extending outwardly from each of the side walls. The length of the locking portion is greater than the length of the opening, and the width of the opening is wider than the width of the locking portion.

Abstract: A method for capturing a three dimensional (3D) image by using a single-lens camera is provided. First, a first image is captured. According to a focus distance of the single-lens camera in capturing the first image and an average distance between two human eyes, an overlap width between the first image and a second image required for capturing the second image of the 3D image is calculated. Then, the first image and a real-time image captured by the single-lens camera are displayed, and an overlap area is marked on the first image according to the calculated overlap width. A horizontal shift of the single-lens camera is adjusted, to locate the real-time image in the overlap area. Finally, the real-time image is captured as the second image, and the first and second images are output as the 3D image.

In response to a request, a computer system operates to either: provide one or more computing devices from an inactive pool to an active pool, or accept one or more active computing devices into the inactive pool. An Inactive Pool Manager proactively manages the inactive states of each computing device by: determining the desired number (and identities) of computing devices to be placed in each inactive state of readiness by solving a constraint optimization problem that describes a user-specified trade-off between expected readiness (estimated time to be able to activate computing devices when they are needed next) and conserving energy; generating a plan for changing the current set of inactive states to the desired set; and, executing the plan. Multiple alternative ways of quantifying the desired responsiveness to surges in demand are provided.
