Publication number: 20240012751Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for adaptive wear leveling for a memory system are described. A memory system may implement an adaptive rate for performing various wear leveling operations, such as an adaptive rate for performing wear leveling evaluations, or an adaptive rate for performing wear leveling data transfers, among other examples. For example, a memory system may begin with or default to performing wear leveling operations in accordance with a relatively slower rate, and adjust (e.g., accelerate) wear leveling operations based on detecting a relatively greater demand to perform wear leveling operations. In some such examples, wear leveling operations may be capped at a rate (e.g., a maximum rate), which may limit a degradation of memory system performance while performing wear leveling operations. As wear distribution improves, the memory system may adjust (e.g., decelerate) wear leveling operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2022Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: John J. Kane, Byron D. Harris, Vivek Shivhare

Publication number: 20230393779Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for plane balancing in a memory system are described. A memory system may select a memory die for writing a set of data. The memory die may include a plurality of planes each of which may include a respective plurality of blocks of memory cells.

Patent number: 8446808Abstract: A method for adjusting at least one alignment control axis of a holographic data storage system or device to or towards a sufficiently optimal recovery position for recovery of a hologram based on a derived feedback error signal and/or a derived feed-forward signal. For the next hologram in the sequence, the derived feedback error signal estimates the direction and magnitude of misalignment of the at least one alignment control axis for one or more previously recovered holograms based on alignment-indicating data. The derived feed-forward signal estimates an optimal alignment value for the at least one alignment control axis for one or more holograms based on recording and recovery operating condition data for the holograms. An iterative alignment procedure may also be used to derive a feedback error signal for one hologram.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2009Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Akonia Holographics, LLCInventors: Mark R. Ayres, Alan Hoskins, Paul C. Smith, John J. Kane

Patent number: 4494462Abstract: Heating apparatus is described that is particularly adapted for thawing frozen particulate material in railroad hopper cars. The apparatus is a low profile, fuel-fired heater adapted for installation between rails traversed by the hopper cars within a thawing shed. The construction employs heat-radiating metal plates forming an elongated gas-conducting chamber through which high velocity combustion gases are conducted. The arrangement of plates is such as to enhance the emission of radiant heat to the hopper car bottoms with appropriately positioned heat insulated regions to protect hopper car brake hoses, or the like, from damage caused by overheating.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1982Date of Patent: January 22, 1985Assignee: The Pittsburgh & Conneaut Dock CompanyInventor: John J. Kane

Patent number: 4423832Abstract: An inflatable liner for mounting within a hopper type receptacle or container which receives and discharges flowable bulk particulate material. The liner is comprised of one or more inflatable members such as inflatable fabric bags or tubular members loosely supported by sling members at spaced locations along the interior surface of the walls of the container in such manner that each inflatable member is capable of limited miltidirectional movement with respect to the adjacent container wall and a flexible wear resistant cover sheet loosely covering the wall and the inflatable members. The slings may be attached to either the container wall or to the bottom side of the cover sheet. Alternate inflatable members are inflated and deflated in any desired sequence to cause the cover sheet to undulate and thereby set up a continuous cyclic wave motion which serves to maintain the continuous flow of particulate material through the container.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1981Date of Patent: January 3, 1984Assignee: Goodyear Aerospace CorporationInventors: Hugh Boyd, John J. Kane

Patent number: 4359172Abstract: This invention relates to a method for stimulating flow of particulates toward an outlet of a container or other enclosure. A flexible wear-resistant liner is provided to cover an interior surface of the container along with a plurality of inflatable members at spaced locations juxtaposed between the surface and the liner. The members are inflated and deflated in any of various cyclic patterns so as to separate weakly adherent particulates from the liner and also dislodge jammed particulates in the central area of the container or enclosure, stimulating flow.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1980Date of Patent: November 16, 1982Assignee: The Pittsburgh & Conneaut Dock CompanyInventor: John J.
