  • Patent number: 11966752
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data caching for fast system boot-up are described. A memory system may create a linked mapping of addresses, which may also be referred to as a mixed page pointer table. The linked mapping may include logical addresses associated with commands received during a boot-up procedure, and their associated physical addresses. The linked mapping may also include a counter associated with each logical address to track how often the logical address is referenced during successive boot-up procedures. Over successive boot-up procedures, addresses may be added or removed from the linked mapping, and sequential addresses may be compressed. The memory device may use the linked mapping to predict which data may be accessed during the boot-up procedure, and may pre-transfer the data to volatile memory based on the prediction.

  • Publication number: 20240086070
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for read disturb management for memory are described. In some instances, data may be read from a first page of a virtual block of a memory system. If the data includes one or more errors, the memory system may read data from a second page of the virtual block and determine whether one or more errors exist in the data. The memory system may continue reading pages of the virtual block until a page includes no (or relatively few errors). The memory system may then refresh the pages.

  • Publication number: 20240069784
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for idle mode temperature control for memory systems are described. A memory system may implement the use of one or more dummy access commands to reduce the effects of errors introduced by temperature changes while the memory system is in an idle mode. For example, performing one or more access commands, such as one or more read commands, may increase a temperature of a memory device and support a desired operating temperature for the memory device while the memory system is in the idle mode. The memory system may measure the temperature of the memory device during the idle mode. If the memory system determines that the temperature of the memory device has fallen below a threshold temperature, the memory system may issue a quantity of dummy access commands to the memory device, and the corresponding dummy access operations may result in a temperature increase at the memory device.

  • Patent number: 11847468
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data defragmentation for a system boot procedure are described. The memory system may determine a write random index associated with a boot procedure. The write random index may indicate a relationship between a first quantity of sequential logical addresses accessed as part of the boot procedure and a second quantity of random logical addresses accessed as part of the boot procedure. The memory system may determine whether the write random index satisfies a threshold based on determining the write random index. In some cases, the memory system may transfer, to a second portion of the memory system, data stored in a first portion of the memory system based on determining that the write random index satisfies the threshold. The memory system may receive a request to perform the boot procedure after transferring the data and output, to the host system, the data transferred.

  • Publication number: 20180297397
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a safety device (10) for a wheel (11) of a vehicle comprising a rim (12) designed to be fixed to a hub (14) by means of rotational fastening elements (16). The safety device (10) comprises: —a plurality of locking elements (30), each element of said plurality of locking elements (30) being suitable for being applied onto one of the rotational fastening elements (16) of the wheel (11) so as to be constrained to rotate together with the rotational fastening element (16); —a protection element (20) suitable for being fixed to the rim (12) and comprising a plurality of housing cavities (22); each cavity of said plurality of housing cavities (22) being suitable for receiving one locking element (30); —securing means suitable for interfering with the plurality of locking elements (30) to prevent the rotation and/or the extraction of said locking elements (30) from the rotational fastening elements (16).
