Patent number: 11687278Abstract: A data storage system can connect a data storage controller to a host and a data storage device. A first reference state corresponding to a first zone of the data storage device can be incremented in response to a first version of data being assigned to the first zone by the data storage controller. A second version of the data may be written to a second zone of the data storage device prior to populating a recently freed list with the first zone having an incorrect reference state. The first zone can be allocated by the data storage controller for new data without altering the incorrect reference state that is subsequently written to the first zone as directed by the data storage controller.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Douglas Dewey, Ian Davies, Ryan Phillips

Patent number: 11500463Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for controlling electronic devices based on detected brain activity. For example, a system includes a wearable over-the-ear electronic device has a set of dry EEG sensors, a camera, a processor, and programming instructions. The programming instructions cause the processor to receive images from the camera, process the images to identify features corresponding to a known device, and receive brain-wave signals from the EEG sensors. The system compares the brain-wave signals to measure a level of brain activity. Upon detection of both (a) a feature corresponding to the known device and (b) a level of brain activity that deviates from a baseline by at least a threshold level, the system generates a command signal configured to cause the known device to actuate and transmits the command signal to a controller for the known device.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Imagine Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ian Davies Troisi, Justin Henry Deegan, Connor Liam McFadden, Nicholas Albert Silenzi

Patent number: 11429587Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for multiple duration deduplication entries. A processor may be configured to perform data deduplication operations, including setting a first indicator for first metadata stored to a hash database identifying a first time interval to maintain the first metadata in the database, and setting a second indicator for second metadata stored to the database identifying a second time interval to maintain the second metadata in the database longer than the first time interval. The processor may remove the first metadata from the database when no duplicative data is detected for the first metadata within the first time interval, and remove the second metadata from the database when no duplicative data is detected for the second metadata within the second time interval.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Michael Barrell, Ian Davies, Kenneth F Day, III, Douglas Dewey

Patent number: 11314433Abstract: Use of a deduplication module remote from a storage system for storage of data subject to deduplication by the remote deduplication module. The storage system may generate a hash of target data and send the hash of the target data to the remote deduplication module. The remote deduplication module may access a hash database corresponding to the storage system and apply a deduplication algorithm on the hash. In turn, information regarding a deduplication result may be returned to the storage system which may either store the unique target data or update a mapping between the target data and duplicate existing data in a persistent storage of the storage device. The remote deduplication module may be executed by scalable cloud resources such that the computational resources dedicated to the deduplication module may be scaled.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Michael Barrell, Ian Davies
