  • Publication number: 20260064150
    Abstract: A method for performing device type detection of a memory device with aid of driving voltage path detection and associated apparatus are provided, where the memory device is installed on a printed circuit board (PCB) of host device. The method includes: in response to a detection signal obtained from a driving voltage terminal of a set of driving voltage terminals among two sets of driving voltage terminals within the PCB, determining a device type of the memory device, for determining whether a memory device version of the memory device belongs to a first set of versions or a second set of versions; and selecting a voltage level corresponding to the device type from multiple predetermined voltage levels to be a selected voltage level, for providing the memory device with the selected voltage level via at least one portion of driving voltage terminals among the two sets of driving voltage terminals.

  • Patent number: 12321297
    Abstract: A bridge device for bridging a host device and a data storage device includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller includes a first transmission interface. The second controller is coupled to the first controller and includes a second transmission interface. The second transmission interface is coupled to the first transmission interface through a bus. The first transmission interface operates in a slave mode and the second transmission interface operates in a master mode. The first transmission interface and the second transmission interface generate multiple transfer data chunks in compliance with a common bridge transfer format to perform transfer operations in dual directions for respectively transferring a command and data between a host device and a data storage device.

  • Patent number: 12277317
    Abstract: A bridge device includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller includes a first transmission interface. The second controller includes a second transmission interface. The first transmission interface and the second transmission interface are flash memory interfaces. In a program mode, the first transmission interface receives a first command from the second transmission interface and obtains first transfer data from a bus in response to the first command. A value of the first command is optionally set to a first value or a second value. The first value indicates a memory command transfer operation in a first direction and the second value indicates a memory data transfer operation in the first direction. The first transmission interface processes the first transfer data according to the value of the first command to obtain a memory command or written data.

  • Publication number: 20210330314
    Abstract: This invention is related to an anchor implantation system capable of being fixed on a bone and including an anchor and an awl. The anchor comprises an inner side, an outer side and a perforation in connection therewith, and the anchor further includes an accommodating portion and a thread portion. The accommodating portion and the thread portion are disposed at the inner side and the outer side of the anchor, respectively. One end of the awl penetrates the accommodating portion and protrudes from the perforation, and the shape of the cross section of the awl is non-circular. The awl is rotatable to drive the anchor, so that the anchor is screwed into the bone with the thread portion. The present disclosure provides a rotating awl with a non-circular shape in cross section to enlarge a pilot hole when drilling the bone, so that the anchor can be screwed into the bone while drilling.
