  • Patent number: 9075709
    Abstract: A flash memory controller includes a recording medium and a processing circuit. When the amount of stored data in a flash memory module is less than a first threshold, the processing circuit controls a read and write circuit of the flash memory module to program a target data block using program threshold voltages within a first voltage range so as to write data into the target data block. When the amount of stored data in the flash memory module is greater than a second threshold, the processing circuit controls the read and write circuit to program the target data block using program threshold voltages within a second voltage range so as to write data into the target data block, wherein the second threshold is greater than the first threshold and the first voltage range is less than the second voltage range.

  • Publication number: 20150127894
    Abstract: A flash memory controller for controlling a flash memory module includes a communication interface for receiving a first data and a second data; and a processing circuit for dynamically controlling a data writing mode of the flash memory module according to an amount of stored data in the flash memory module. If the amount of stored data in the flash memory module is less than a first threshold when the communication interface receives the first data, the processing circuit controls the flash memory module so that the first data is written into the first data block under an one-bit-per-cell mode. If the amount of stored data in the flash memory module is greater than the first threshold when the communication interface receives the second data, the processing circuit controls the flash memory module so that the second data is written into the second data block under a two-bit-per-cell mode.

  • Publication number: 20150117011
    Abstract: A laser emitting device includes a laser plane source for providing planar surrounding light, a reflector, and a connection mechanism. The reflector surrounds the laser plane source and has a reflective sidewall facing the laser plane source. The reflective sidewall includes a plurality of reflective surfaces connected to each other. Each of the reflective surfaces has an individual angle relative to the planar surround light. The planar surrounding light hits one of the reflective surfaces and forms a laser ring emitted from the laser emitting device. The connection mechanism allows the reflector to be moved relative to laser plane source. A size of the laser ring can be changed by changing the reflective surface to be hit.

  • Patent number: 8015233
    Abstract: A method for handling asynchronous database transactions in a web based environment is disclosed. The method comprise providing a first ID from a device via a dedicated persistent connection and generating a second ID in an application server upon receipt of the first ID. The method also include utilizing the first ID and second ID to obtain the appropriate data from a database system and to send the appropriate data to the device. A method in accordance with the present invention uses a database resource adapter, which runs inside an application server, to generate a socket ID internally for every input transaction running with the dedicated persistent socket connection and also saves the customer-specified client ID for database queue creation and legacy application. This operation is transparent to the customers' client application.

  • Patent number: 7597604
    Abstract: The present invention provides a PDP structure including a first substrate, a second substrate and a Waffle barrier rib structure located between the first and second substrate. The Waffle barrier rib structure includes three first barrier ribs having different width and a plurality of second barrier ribs perpendicular to the first barrier ribs. The second barrier ribs are located between the two first barrier ribs, and connect the wider structure of the two first barrier ribs. Therefore, discharge spaces are formed. Because of different width, the height difference of the barrier rib structure is formed after thermal process. Hence, gas can pass through the barrier ribs structure between the front and the back substrate sealed together.
