  • Publication number: 20240103752
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system comprising a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations including identifying a group of memory cells corresponding to a first range of logical block addresses (LBAs). The operations performed by the processing device further include receiving a memory access command with respect to the group of memory cells. The operations performed by the processing device further include responsive to determining that a data structure associated with the group of memory cells references a second range of LBAs, blocking the memory access command; responsive to determining that the first range of LBAs does not include each LBA of the second range of LBAs, performing, on the group of memory cells, a trim operation; and responsive to determining that the data structure indicates the completion of the trim operation, performing a memory access operation specified by the memory access command.

  • Publication number: 20220213977
    Abstract: An arbitrary directional touch switch, having a valve body and a push member. The valve body includes a housing, a main flow passage and a switching mechanism. The housing has at least one support portion formed at a water outlet end that protrudes outwardly. The switching mechanism selectively blocks the main flow passage. The push member is connected to the valve body, and has a water passage portion, at least one suspension portion and a push-abutment portion. The suspension portion is movably connected to the support portion, and the push-abutment portion can drive the switching mechanism to block the main flow passage. As a motion space is formed on the inner side of the suspension portion, the switching mechanism can be driven to operate by pushing the push member in an axial, transverse and/or oblique direction, to switch the arbitrary directional touch switch between closed and open states.

  • Patent number: 9222599
    Abstract: A self-closing water-saving valve assembly has a casing, a seat, a pushing rod, a closing member and a stand. When said valve assembly is switched off, the closing member and the stand slow down the closing movement into a gradual manner, which can effectively reduce positive and negative pressure waves generated in the water pipe. Noises and damage to the water pipe are also prevented. Besides, the pushing rod is moved down by gravity and slight water pushing, which eliminates the problems of wear and speeded-up movement of the pushing rod. Therefore, the valve assembly has prolonged lifespan. In addition, the water pressure is not directly applied on the pushing rod and only slight water pushes the pushing rod such that it is easier for a user to push the pushing rod to switch on the valve assembly.
