  • Publication number: 20240420792
    Abstract: A method of tracking flash memory in a storage system is provided. The method includes initializing a bad blocks threshold value and marking one or more planes or logical unit numbers (LUNs) of flash memory as bad, responsive to determining that bad blocks in the one or more planes or LUNs meet the bad blocks threshold value. The method includes adjusting the bad blocks threshold value, responsive to exceeding a threshold number or rate of retiring planes or LUNs of flash memory, and repeating the marking and the adjusting, with the bad blocks threshold value capped at a maximum threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20230274001
    Abstract: Systems and methods for off-host integrity verification of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to obtain, by an Operating System (OS) agent, a measurement of contents of a selected area of a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) used by a TEE coupled to the processor, transmit the measurement from the OS agent to another IHS configured to perform integrity verification of the TEE based, at least in part, upon the measurement, and receive, at the OS agent from the other IHS, an indication of a result of the integrity verification.

  • Patent number: 10449517
    Abstract: Chromatography media including a high surface area thermoplastic porous nanofiber and an ion-exchange ligand functionality on the surface of the fiber. The porous nanofibers display a convoluted structure that is comprised of discrete bundles of highly entangled nanofibrils that may be fibrillated or ridged. The porous fibers can be prepared through the extraction of a dissolvable mineral or polymeric porogen that is embedded into the fiber during its manufacture in a melt extrusion process.

  • Patent number: 9784032
    Abstract: A turnstile having two hub and arm assemblies funnels individuals to different sides or lanes. Machine intelligence allows the turnstile to select which side or lane an individual transits. The turnstile may randomly, pseudo-randomly, or strategically which side or lane an individual transits.

  • Publication number: 20150352465
    Abstract: Adsorptive media for chromatography, particularly ionexchange chromatography, derived from a shaped fiber, useful for purifying viruses. In certain embodiments, the functionalized shaped fiber presents a fibrillated or ridged structure which greatly increases the surface area of the fibers when compared to ordinary fibers. Surface pendant functional groups can be added that provides ion-exchange functionality to the high surface area fibers. This pendant functionality is useful for the ion-exchange chromatographic purification of viruses, such as influenza.

  • Patent number: 8698407
    Abstract: An inductorless LED driver powers a string of low current LEDs. A phase controlled triac dimmer, serially connected to a full-wave rectifier circuit, performs as an LED current and triac holding current control element. The output of the full-wave rectifier circuit is divided into two circuit paths; the first path provides power to drive a string of serially-connected low-current LEDs, and the second path connects to a dynamic load, which supplies a holding current that flows through the triac dimmer. There are two feedback control systems; the first regulates the luminance of the LEDs; the second regulates the triac holding current to eliminate lamp flicker.

  • Patent number: 8439113
    Abstract: A liner string for a well has a liner hanger assembly at an upper portion of the liner string. A profile sub is located at a bottom portion of the liner string. A bottom hole assembly is latched to the profile sub. The operator lowers the liner string into the well with a drill pipe string and rotates the drill pipe string to rotate the drill bit to deepen the well. At a selected depth, the operator releases the bottom hole assembly from the profile sub and reverse circulates drilling fluid from a liner annulus surrounding the liner string, pumping the bottom hole assembly up the liner string. When the bottom hole assembly reaches the lower end of the drill pipe string, it latches to a catcher tool located at the lower end of the drill pipe string. The operator moves the liner hanger assembly into setting engagement with the casing string, releases the drill pipe string from the liner string, and retrieves the drill pipe string along with the bottom hole assembly.
