  • Patent number: 11972109
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for two-stage buffer operations supporting write commands are described. If data is written to a memory device starting at a multi-plane page offset other than zero, the read performance for the data may decrease significantly due to die misalignment. To avoid die misalignment, a memory system may support two buffers for write data: a flush buffer and a temporary buffer. The memory system may determine whether to add received data to the flush buffer, the temporary buffer, or a combination thereof based on a data transfer size and a threshold size. If the data in the temporary buffer satisfies a copy condition, the data in the temporary buffer is copied into the flush buffer. If the data in the flush buffer satisfies a flush condition, the data in the flush buffer is written to the memory device starting at a multi-plane page offset of zero.

  • Patent number: 11886341
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for read operations for regions of a memory device are described. In some examples, a memory device may include a first cache for storing mappings between logical addresses and physical addresses of the memory device, and a second cache for storing indices associated with entries removed from the first cache. The memory device may include a controller configured to load mappings to the first cache upon receiving read commands. When the first cache is full, and when the memory device receives a read command, the controller may remove an entry from the first cache and may store an index associated with the removed entry to the second cache. The controller may then transmit a mapping associated with the index to a host device for use in a HPB operation.

  • Patent number: 11835065
    Abstract: A fan frame turbulence structure includes a frame body having a wind incoming side and a wind outgoing side respectively on two sides of the frame body. The frame body defines an airflow passage which passes through the frame body from the wind incoming side to the wind outgoing side. The wind incoming side has an inlet in communication with the airflow passage. The inlet has a breaking section between the wind incoming side and the passage inner wall. The breaking section includes densely distributed breaking units. The breaking units define therebetween gaps in communication with the airflow passage. The breaking units serve to break and fracture airflow sucked in from the wind incoming side, whereby part of the airflow passes through the gaps between the breaking units and is broken and fractured into multiple gap turbulences to flow into the air passage so as to lower the wideband noise.

  • Publication number: 20230349394
    Abstract: A fan frame with noise muffling structure includes a frame having a top and a bottom and defining a centered air flow passage that extends from the top to the bottom. The air flow passage has an air inlet and an air outlet formed on the top and the bottom, respectively. The frame further has a noise muffling zone in at least one area of the frame located between the air flow passage and an outer periphery of the frame. In the noise muffling zone, there is provided at least one noise muffling unit, which is located between the top and the bottom without communicating with the air flow passage. The noise muffling unit internally defines a hollow cavity, which is closed between but not extended through the top and the bottom. The hollow cavity isolates air flow noise and absorbs frame vibration and noise produced by the frame vibration.
