Abstract: A system for crowdsourcing reporting of road conditions from abnormal vehicle events. Abnormal vehicle events (such as sudden braking, sharp turns, evasive actions, pothole impact, etc.) can be detected and reported to a road condition monitoring system (RCMS). The RCMS can identify patterns in reported road conditions to generate advisory information or instructions for vehicles and users of vehicles. For example, suspected obstacles can be identified and used to instruct a driver or a vehicle to slow down gradually to avoid sudden braking and sharp turns. In some examples, a vehicle can have a camera that can upload an image of a suspected obstacle (e.g., a pothole) to allow the positive identification of a road problem. This provides the RCMS with more confidence to take a corrective action, such as an automated call to a road repair service.

Abstract: A memory device includes a memory cell array, a voltage generation circuit generating one or more voltages supplied to the memory cell array, an input/output circuit receiving an address indicating a region in the memory cell array and a control circuit controlling operations of the memory cell array. The voltage generation circuit generates the voltages before a ready/busy signal changing from a ready state to a busy state.

Abstract: A data storage device stores data in non-volatile memory. In one approach, a method includes: storing software in a compressed format in a first mode (e.g., an SLC mode) in a non-volatile memory; exposing, while the software is stored in the first mode, the non-volatile memory to a temperature greater than a predetermined threshold; determining that the temperature of the non-volatile memory has fallen below the predetermined threshold; and in response to determining that the temperature of the non-volatile memory has fallen below the predetermined threshold: decompressing the stored software, and storing the decompressed software in a second mode (e.g., TLC mode) in the non-volatile memory. The second mode has a storage density higher than the first mode.

Abstract: A display device of an autonomous vehicle is controlled based on data collected from sensors located in or on the vehicle. The display device is used to present one or more images to a driver and/or passengers of the autonomous vehicle. The display device can be, for example, a windshield and/or other window of the vehicle. Image data can be, for example, transformed to improve visual perception by passengers in the vehicle when the images are displayed on a curved shape of the windshield.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes: a memory cell array; a peripheral circuit connected to this memory cell array, the peripheral circuit outputting data in the memory cell array as a read data in response to input of a command set, the command set including a first command, address data, and a second command; a first electrode capable of being used in input of the command set and output of the read data; and a second electrode capable of supplying electric power to the peripheral circuit. A current flowing in the second electrode at a second timing is larger than a current flowing in the second electrode at a first timing, the first timing being a timing at which the first command is inputted, the second timing being a timing before which the input of the address data is started and after which an input of the second command is finished.

Abstract: A memory device stores data for a host. In one approach, a trim operation is initiated for the memory device (e.g., based on a context that is determined for the memory device). During the trim operation, read and/or write tests are performed on one or more portions of a non-volatile storage media of the memory device. One or more characteristics associated with the memory device are observed during the test. Based on these observed characteristics, one or more trim settings are determined. Then, the memory device is updated to store the determined trim settings to configure subsequent read or write access to the non-volatile storage media (e.g., access performed in response to commands from a host).

Abstract: A data storage device monitors a storage media temperature and adjusts data storage operations of the storage device based on the monitored and/or a predicted future temperature of the storage media. In one approach, data is stored in a first mode (e.g., a TLC mode) in a non-volatile storage media. One or more temperatures associated with the non-volatile storage media are monitored using at least one sensor to collect sensor data. The manner of storage of the data in the storage device is adjusted based on the collected sensor data. The adjusting comprises compressing the data to provide compressed data, and storing the compressed data in a second mode (e.g., an SLC mode) in the non-volatile storage media.
