Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory device heating in cold environments are described. A memory system may use system components to accelerate the heating of a non-volatile memory device that stores boot data associated with a boot up procedure at a host system. For example, the memory system may determine that a temperature associated with the memory system fails to satisfy a threshold. Based on the temperature failing to satisfy the threshold, a controller of the memory system may perform a heating procedure that increases a heat of and emitted by the controller (e.g., a heating element coupled with the controller) to accelerate the heating of the non-volatile memory device. The memory system may read the boot data from the non-volatile memory device based on the heating procedure and transmit the boot data to the host system.

Abstract: A technique to control write operations in a logical partition. For example, a device can receive a user specified write threshold for the logical partition that is hosted on a pool of memory cells shared by a plurality of logical partitions in wear leveling. An accumulated amount of data written into the memory cells according to write requests addressing the logical partition is tracked. In response to the accumulated amount reaches the write threshold, further write requests addressing the logical partition can be blocked, rejected, and/or ignored. For example, the logical partition can be used to buffer data for time shift in playing back content streaming from a server. Write operations for time shift can be limited via the user specified threshold to prevent overuse of the total program erasure budget of the pool of memory cells shared with other logical partitions.

Abstract: After data to be written to a storage device, such as a solid state drive (SSD), is received from a host system, the received data is encoded using a first error correction code to generate first parity data. A temperature at which memory cells of the storage device will store the received data is determined. In response, a first portion of the received data is identified (e.g., data in memory storage that is error-prone at a predicted higher temperature that has been determined based on output from an artificial neural network using sensor(s) input). The first portion is encoded using a second error correction code to generate second parity data. The second error correction code has a higher error correction capability than the first error correction code. The encoded first portion, the first parity data, and the second parity data are stored in the memory cells.

Abstract: The present invention provides redirection for a web page request for an old URL received at a web server. In an embodiment, a web page request from an end-user is redirected to a Common Gateway Interface (“CGI”) script for handling the web page redirection. In an embodiment, the CGI script includes a routine for matching an old URL to a new URL provided in a lookup table. In an embodiment, each web page of an old URL has a corresponding new URL such that an end-user trying to access a web page using an old URL is always directed to a corresponding new web page, or to a relevant page if a corresponding new page does not exist. In another embodiment, a customized message may be associated with a match between an old URL and a new URL, and the customized message may be displayed prior to redirection.
