Patent number: 11971782Abstract: Systems and methods for a controller including controller memory and logic are presented herein. The logic is configured to control access to a persistent storage media and, in response to one or more commands, the logic determines an intermediate parity value based on a first parity calculation, and using the intermediate parity value determines a final parity value based on the intermediate parity value and a second parity calculation. Determining the intermediate parity value includes sending a uni-directional command to read an old data value from an address indicated in the uni-directional command, perform an exclusive-or operation on the old data value and a new data value indicated in the uni-directional command to determine the intermediate parity value and store, in the persistent storage media, the intermediate parity value at a location associated to an index indicated in the uni-directional command.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2020Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: SK Hynix NAND Product Solutions Corp.Inventors: Sanjeev Trika, Gregory Tucker, James Harris, Jonathan Hughes, Piotr Wysocki, Gang Cao, Qihua Dai, Benjamin Walker, Ziye Yang, Xiaodong Liu, Changpeng Liu, Jackson Ellis

Patent number: 11903697Abstract: Systems and methods described provide dynamic and intelligent ways to change the required level of user interaction during use of a monitoring device. The systems and methods generally relate to real time switching between a first or initial mode of user interaction and a second or new mode of user interaction. In some cases, the switching will be automatic and transparent to the user, and in other cases user notification may occur. The mode switching generally affects the user's interaction with the device, and not just internal processing. The mode switching may relate to calibration modes, data transmission modes, control modes, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2015Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: DEXCOM, INC.Inventors: Naresh C.

Publication number: 20230228373Abstract: A handheld electronic device case with quick-release anchoring capability includes a device case main body operable to engage a handheld electronic device and provide a protective cover therefor. A vacuum formation-and-release actuator is operable to establish a releasable vacuum connection between a rear surface of the handheld device, or a base of the case main body, or or an independent base of a universal vacuum connector incorporating the vacuum formation-and-release actuator, and a reference surface in order to detachably mount the handheld device to the reference surface. The releasable vacuum connection is provided by a controlled pressure zone that maintains a negative pressure differential relative to an external ambient pressure. The releasable vacuum connection is releasable by virtue of the vacuum formation-and-release actuator being movable in a manner that vents the controlled pressure zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2022Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Jonathan Hughes, Israel Harry Zimmerman

Patent number: 11525475Abstract: An object holder with quick-release anchoring capability includes an object carrier having an object carrier base. A vacuum release actuator on the object carrier base is displaceable to separate from the object. An anchor member carried by vacuum release actuator includes outer and inner seal members and an interconnecting vent port. The outer seal member is arranged to form a substantially airtight seal with the reference surface that defines an outer controlled pressure zone. The inner seal member is arranged to form a substantially airtight seal with the object that defines an inner controlled pressure zone. The vent port extends between the outer and inner controlled pressure zones. During operation, the controlled pressure zones can be vented by manipulating the object carrier away from the reference surface to separate the object and the vacuum release actuator until the inner seal member breaks its substantially airtight seal with the object.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Mighty Ventures, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Hughes, Israel Harry Zimmerman
