  • Publication number: 20250321630
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to operating an artificial reality system in single-handed mode. Artificial reality systems receive user input via several channels, however conventional systems lack functionality that helps diverse users operate these systems. Some types of input, such as input that requires movement of two hands and/or two hand-held controllers, may be more challenging for some diverse individuals to provide or may not be possible in certain situations, e.g., where one controller is disabled. Implementations operate artificial reality systems in single-handed mode, such as by translating instances of single-handed input into two-handed input. For example, the translated two-handed input can cause application functionality at the artificial reality system that would otherwise pose a challenge for some diverse individual.

  • Patent number: 11561713
    Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a memory and a controller are provided which simplify controller management of logical and physical meta-dies and meta-blocks by allowing a logical meta-die to be mapped to multiple physical meta-dies. The memory includes first dies grouped in a first physical meta-die and second dies grouped in a second physical meta-die. The physical meta-dies each include physical meta-blocks. The controller maps a logical meta-die to the first physical meta-die and the second physical meta-die. The controller may also map logical meta-blocks of the logical meta-die to the physical meta-blocks. For instance, the controller may associate a first logical metablock of the logical meta-die to the first physical meta-die and a second logical metablock of the logical meta-die to the second physical meta-die. As a result, firmware complexity in managing meta-dies and meta-blocks may be reduced compared to one-to-one logical-to-physical meta-die mapping approaches.

  • Patent number: 9734098
    Abstract: A method of managing a memory bus includes identifying sub-operations required for execution of commands, maintaining a list of released sub-operations containing only released unexecuted sub-operations directed to individual dies that are identified as available, accessing the dies until the list is empty, subsequently, polling to identify dies that are available, and subsequently resuming accessing the dies by executing only sub-operations from the list until the list is empty.

  • Patent number: 6993600
    Abstract: A controller for a writable optical media is presented. The controller includes a write control sequencer that monitors the transmission of data from a host device to the writable optical media without continuous supervision from a microcomputer. The write control sequencer monitors and controls data flow in response to descriptors which are loaded into the controller prior to the transfer by a microprocessor.
