  • Patent number: 12578875
    Abstract: This application is directed to preparing and processing data locally in a memory system that includes a data processor, a memory controller, and a non-volatile memory (e.g., NAND flash memory). The memory system obtaining a request for processing first data. A modified form of the first data has been stored as second data in the non-volatile memory. The memory system identifies the second data stored in the non-volatile memory, and extracts the second data from the non-volatile memory. The second data is processed by the memory controller of the memory system to recover the first data, which are further provided to the data processor for processing locally within the memory system. In some embodiments, the memory controller temporarily stores the second data in a first memory and the recovered first data in a second memory from which the data processor extracts the recovered first data for further local on-memory processing.

  • Publication number: 20260028506
    Abstract: A bionic environment-adaptive self-repairing coating as well as a preparation method and use thereof. The preparation method comprises: carrying out condensation polymerization on a first mixed reaction system comprising isocyanate and polyol to obtain a prepolymer; reacting a second mixed reaction system comprising a material containing a non-covalent hydrogen bond and/or a material containing a covalent bisulfide bond and the prepolymer to obtain a polyurethane material; and mixing the polyurethane material with a modified graphene material so that the modified graphene material is distributed in the polyurethane material in a parallel arrangement manner to obtain a composite coating with a nacreous layer structure, and then curing the composite coating to obtain the bionic environment-adaptive self-repairing coating. The bionic environment-adaptive self-repairing coating prepared in the present application has high ultimate tensile strength and excellent mechanical properties.

  • Publication number: 20250272541
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include an architecture for cross task large language model fine-tuning based on a shared context and methods of using the same. An exemplary method includes receiving a pre-trained large language model and receiving a set of fine-tuning tasks for the pre-trained large language model. The set of fine-tuning tasks includes at least a first fine-tuning task and a second fine-tuning task. The method includes generating, from the set of fine-tuning tasks, a first task combination including a subset of the set of fine-tuning tasks, identifying a shared subspace within the subset of the set of fine-tuning tasks, and responsive to identifying the shared subspace, fine-tuning the pre-trained large language model jointly over the first task combination.

  • Publication number: 20250060313
    Abstract: Disclosed are a molecular imaging method using Raman spectra and system based on machine learning cascade. The system includes a coordinate localization module, a hierarchical clustering analysis module, a Raman predictive imaging module, and a similarity analysis module. An untreated frozen tissue slice is attached to a stainless steel slide, and an adjacent slice is attached to a glass slide. The coordinate localization module can match a Raman white light image of a detection sample attached to the stainless steel slide with an immunohistochemistry (IHC) image of the adjacent slice, such that Raman spectra of a target region are accurately collected. The hierarchical clustering analysis module purifies different types of Raman spectra. A machine learning classifier is configured to build a Raman predictive imaging model. The similarity analysis module can evaluate similarity between a predicted Raman predictive image and the IHC image of the adjacent slice.

  • Patent number: 11773274
    Abstract: The environmental-friendly antifouling agent includes a furan oxime and/or furan oxime metal complex, which has not only good antifouling performance, low toxicity and high efficiency and environmental friendliness. The ecological toxicity of the non-target organism is less than 15% of that of metals such as copper and chromium and organic matters such as benzoxazole, and the excellent barrier property of the furan ring structure itself on small molecules such as oxygen and water vapor can also significantly improve the barrier effect of a coating on a typical corrosive factor. The antifouling agent combined with an antifouling coating system can greatly improve the corrosion resistance of the coating system. Meanwhile, such the antifouling agent is easy to synthesize, can be well compatible with self-polishing resins, corrosion type resins and the like.

  • Patent number: 10795765
    Abstract: A system and method for long term data retention in a flash memory. In some embodiments, the method includes transitioning the flash memory to a long term data retention state by re-storing first encoded data, the first encoded data being initially stored in the flash memory at a first code rate. The re-storing may include determining a second code rate, lower than the first code rate; reading the first encoded data from the flash memory; decoding the first encoded data at the first code rate to obtain first decoded data; encoding the first decoded data at the second code rate to form second encoded data; and storing the second encoded data in the flash memory.

  • Publication number: 20200012561
    Abstract: A system and method for adaptive multiple read of NAND flash memory. A solid state drive may employ adaptive multiple-read to perform enhanced performance error correction using soft decisions without a performance penalty that otherwise might result from performing unnecessary reads. The soft decision error correcting algorithm may employ lookup tables containing log likelihood ratios. The method may include performing one or more read operations to obtain one or more raw data words for a code word, attempting to decode the code words using the one or more raw data words, and performing additional read operations when the decoding attempt fails. This process may be repeated until a decoding attempt succeeds.

  • Patent number: 10268420
    Abstract: A system and method for providing consistent performance in a storage device, such as a solid state drive. A threshold value for command execution time for a command in a category of command (e.g., a read command or a write command) and a command size, is stored in the storage device. When a host command in the category (e.g., a read command) and corresponding size is received, the storage device executes the command, and if it completes execution of the command in a time that is less than the threshold value, the solid state drive waits until an amount of time equal to the threshold value has elapsed before sending the command completion.
