System and method for improving performance of read/write operations from a persistent memory device
Patent number: 9792221Abstract: A memory unit and method are disclosed. The memory unit comprises: at least one controller interfaced with at least one corresponding persistent memory device operable to store files in accordance with a file system; and a file mapping unit operable, in response to a virtual file access request from a memory management unit of a processor, the virtual file access request having a virtual address within a virtual address space associated with one of the files identifying data to be accessed, to map the virtual address to a physical address of the data within the one of the files using pre-stored mapping information and to issue a physical access request having the physical address to access the data within the one of the files.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2013Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: SWARM64 ASInventors: Thomas Richter, Eivind Liland, David Geier -

Patent number: 7719377Abstract: A pulse step modulator employs a plurality of series connected unit step power amplifier modules. Each module is turned on by a turn-on signal to provide a unit step voltage of a given value. An output circuit is connected to the modules for providing an output voltage to a load and wherein the output voltage is a multiple of the unit step voltages in dependence upon the number of modules that are turned on. The modules are sequentially turned on in a given order and are turned off in the reverse order. An encoder provides turn-on signals with each turn-on signal being applied to a selected one of the modules. The number of turn-on signals provided varies as a function of the magnitude of a time varying input signal. A controller alternately turns enables or disables (in a swapping manner) one of a pair of associated modules as the magnitude of the input signal increases and decreases.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2006Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Ky Thoai Luu, David Geier

Patent number: 7139357Abstract: A method of servicing a nuclear reactor during a reactor outage is provided. The reactor includes a primary containment vessel and a reactor pressure vessel positioned in the primary containment vessel. The method includes positioning a servicing platform above the reactor pressure vessel and performing predetermined servicing operations on the reactor. The servicing platform includes a frame having a plurality of interconnected beams, a support structure attached to the frame, and a floor attached to a top of the frame. The floor includes a reactor access opening sized to permit access to the reactor pressure vessel. The servicing platform also includes at least one auxiliary platform movably coupled to the frame and extending into the access opening. The at least one auxiliary platform is movable along a perimeter of the access opening of the floor.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2004Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Dennis Colditz, Vernon Walter Pence, Terry L. Chapman, Michael Jamie Baron, Robert David Geier
