Abstract: A “dry” packaging in which a prosthetic heart valve is packaged within a container with hydrogel that can be provided in many forms. Certain embodiments include hydrogel that is preloaded with glycerol or the like. The hydrogel regulates the humidity within the container through a diffusion-driven mechanism if a gradient of humidity between the inside and the outside of the hydrogel exists. Humidity regulation is important to prevent the tissue of the valve structure from drying out. When the partially-hydrated hydrogel is present within container, which is saturated with air of a predefined humidity, the water molecules from the air will be absorbed by the hydrogel if the air humidity is high (i.e. when the thermodynamics favor hydrogel hydration) or vice versa. Various embodiments are configured to also house at least a portion of a delivery device for delivering the prosthetic heart valve.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for dynamic read operations. An on-die controller monitors one or more read statistics during a read operation for data of a non-volatile memory die. An on-die controller determines whether one or more read statistics satisfy a threshold for a read operation. An on-die controller dynamically modifies a read operation based on determining that one or more read statistics fail to satisfy a threshold.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory system receives a request to read data. That request includes a quality of service indication. The memory system performs a read process that satisfies the quality of service indication and identifies a set of data with errors. The memory system returns the set of data with errors in response to the request.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a non-volatile memory and a controller coupled to the non-volatile memory. The controller is configured to initiate a read operation to retrieve data from the non-volatile memory. The controller is also configured to suspend the read operation and to determine context information associated with the suspended read operation. The controller is further configured, in response to detecting a condition indicating that the read operation is to resume, to resume the suspended read operation using the context information.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory and a controller coupled to the memory. The memory is configured to store first data and second data. The controller is configured to unlock the first data using a first key, to unlock the second data using a second key, and to determine that the second data is indicated as being uncorrectable in response to unlocking the second data using the second key.

Abstract: A storage system and method for adaptive thermal throttling are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for adaptive thermal throttling is provided that is performed in a storage system having a memory. This method comprises determining if a temperature of the storage system is above a threshold temperature; and in response to determining that the temperature of the storage system is above the threshold temperature: reducing performance of the storage system in an iterative manner until the temperature of the storage system is within a temperature envelope around the threshold temperature; and storing, in the memory, a value indicating what the performance of the storage system was reduced to in order to get the temperature within the temperature envelope. Other embodiments are possible, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.

Abstract: A memory system and method for power management are disclosed. In one embodiment, a memory system maintains a variable credit value indicating an amount of power currently available for memory operations in the memory system, the variable credit value having an upper limit that reflects a maximum power limit for the memory system. The memory system receives a command to perform a memory operation, wherein a plurality of resources are required to perform the memory operation, each resource being associated with a credit value. Prior to performing the memory operation, the memory system checks whether the variable credit value indicates that there is sufficient power available to perform the memory operation. Resource(s) required to perform the memory operation that are already being used in the memory system are not counted against the variable credit value.
