  • Patent number: 11068175
    Abstract: A system including a storage drive and a semiconductor apparatus coupled to the storage drive, is provided. The semiconductor apparatus may include one or more substrates and logic coupled to the one or more substrates, the logic coupled to the one or more substrates to: initiate managing resources of the storage drive and, if the storage drive loses capacity, determine an amount of capacity loss, create a reserved file that is associated with logical memory space in a file system, based on the amount of the capacity loss, and erase at least a portion of the reserved file so that logical memory space associated with an un-erased portion of the reserved file is usable by the storage drive.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160273272
    Abstract: A drill bit (26), the drill bit (26) comprising: a substantially tubular bit body (30) defining a body proximal end (32) and a substantially longitudinally opposed body distal end (34); a crown (38) extending from the bit body (30) at the body distal end (34), the crown (38) having a generally annular configuration defining crown inner and outer diameters (48 and 50); the crown (38) including a plurality of segments (46) provided between the crown inner and outer diameters (48 and 50), at least one of the segments (46) extending only partially radially across the crown (38) between the crown inner and outer diameters (48 and 50).

  • Publication number: 20120129661
    Abstract: Devices, apparatuses, systems and/or methods related to weight plates. Specifically, the disclosed devices, apparatuses, systems and/or methods relate to nested weight plates including a first weight plate increment and a second weight plate increment configured to receive the first weight plate increment. The nested weight plates may include a turning mechanism including a turning circle and/or a screw. The screw may be received by the first weight plate increment such that rotation of the turning circle engages and/or disengages the second weight plate increment. In this manner, a user may select to total weight desired.
