  • Publication number: 20240370178
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods of operating storage devices. The storage device comprises a controller and a media unit. The capacity of the media unit is divided into a plurality of zones. The controller is configured to make informed use of errors by update zone metadata to indicate one or more first logical block addresses were skipped and to indicate the next valid logical block address is available to store data. The controller is further configured to update zone metadata to recommend to the host device to reset one or more full zones, to recommend to the host device to transition one or more open zones to a full state, to alert the host device that one or more open zones have been transitioned to the full state, and to notify the host device of the writeable zone capacity of each of the plurality of zones.

  • Patent number: 12100910
    Abstract: A first apparatus includes an electrical connector with an outer shell and an inner wafer, where the inner wafer is configured to slide into a cavity of the outer shell. The first apparatus further includes a shape-memory alloy coupled to a void in the outer shell and configured to interfere with an area on the inner wafer. A second apparatus includes an OTS connector with an outer shell and an inner wafer, where the inner wafer is configured to slide into a cavity of the outer shell. The second apparatus further includes a plurality of SMT leads of the inner wafer configured to mount onto a plurality of landing pads on a PCBA. The second apparatus includes a shape-memory alloy coupled to a void in the outer shell and configured to interfere with the inner wafer preventing movement of the inner wafer within the outer shell of OTS connector.

  • Patent number: 7339809
    Abstract: The present invention comprises systems and methods for electrical power regulation and distribution. In an embodiment, a system includes a modulator coupled to the source that receives an unregulated output waveform and is operable to produce a first composite waveform, and a mixing unit that is operable to generate a second composite waveform by introducing a frequency modulated component into the first composite waveform. A demodulator is coupled to the mixing unit that demodulates the second composite waveform to generate a third composite waveform. A filter network is coupled to the demodulator that is configured to select a desired spectral portion of the third composite waveform.

  • Patent number: 7154732
    Abstract: A squib firing device is constructed to test and fire a squib load being applied to the squib firing device. A power supply of the squib firing device conditionally stores and discharges a squib firing power, which is a function of an analog OR of a first voltage from an external power source and a second voltage from a battery source of the squib firing device. When the squib firing power is being stored by the power supply, the squib firing device establishes a flow of a squib testing current through the applied squib load to thereby detect a resistance of squib load. When the squib firing power is being discharged by the power supply, the squib firing device establishes and regulates a flow of a squib firing current through the applied squib load to thereby fire squib load.
