Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data caching for fast system boot-up are described. A memory system may create a linked mapping of addresses, which may also be referred to as a mixed page pointer table. The linked mapping may include logical addresses associated with commands received during a boot-up procedure, and their associated physical addresses. The linked mapping may also include a counter associated with each logical address to track how often the logical address is referenced during successive boot-up procedures. Over successive boot-up procedures, addresses may be added or removed from the linked mapping, and sequential addresses may be compressed. The memory device may use the linked mapping to predict which data may be accessed during the boot-up procedure, and may pre-transfer the data to volatile memory based on the prediction.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for NAND logical-to-physical table region tracking are described herein. A write request, including a logical page and data to be written at the logical page, is received at a controller of a NAND device. The NAND controller may then establish an entry in a logical-to-physical (L2P) mapping table between the logical page and a physical page of a physical block of the NAND device to which the data is written. Here, the entry may be in a region of the L2P mapping table that is one of multiple regions. An indication of the region may be written in a data structure corresponding to the physical block.

Abstract: A charging system of an electric vehicle battery is provided. The charging system has a charging station and at least one charging cable connectable to a battery to be charged. The charging station has at least one power unit provided with a power card adapted to charge the battery and a female-type connector adapted to connect to a male-type connector of the at least one charging cable. The at least one charging cable and the charging station have respective authentication circuits configured to implement a cable authentication algorithm which, in case of positive outcome, enables charging the battery. The charging system allows charging batteries of different types and working voltages. A method for charging an electric vehicle battery is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous composition useful for producing antimicrobic polymer films, comprising at least an anionic silver complex, one or more cationic organic components with microbicidal activity, a solvent and a polymeric component. Said antimicrobic films can be obtained by depositing the aqueous composition of the invention on the surface to be treated, possibly followed by a thermosetting or photocuring treatment. The antimicrobic polymer films can be produced on surfaces of containers made of plastic, glass, ceramic or metallic material, thereby ensuring a barrier effect which protects the treated surface from invasions of external microbial agents borne by the air or hands of workers who use such containers.

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the synthesis of ursodeoxycholic acid wherein the purification of the crude ursodeoxycholic acid (containing approximately 13-15% of chenodeoxycholic acid impurity) takes place first passing through a salification with imidazole and a subsequent purification via “methyl ester”, which allows a finished product with an extremely low content of known “cheno and “litho” impurities to be obtained. The present invention also describes the recovery steps of cholic acid and 3?-hydroxy-7-ketocholanic acid from the mother liquors of process intermediates.
