  • Patent number: 11687278
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11624804
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, method and computer program product determine the location of a receiver, such as one or more sensors, carried by a device, e.g., a robot. In a method, an audio signal is received in response to a predetermined audio signal provided by at least two audio source devices. For the audio signal that is received from a respective audio source device, the method estimates a first impulse response between the respective audio source device and the receiver. For the first impulse response estimated between each respective audio source device of the at least two audio source devices and the receiver, the method removes one or more reflections from the first impulse response to create direct path information. The method also includes determining a location of the receiver based at least in part upon the direct path information.

  • Patent number: 11500463
    Abstract: 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.
