Abstract: Provided are a storage device, system, and method for throttling host writes in a host buffer to a storage device. The storage device is coupled to a host system having a host buffer that includes reads and writes to pages of the storage device. Garbage collection consolidates valid data from pages in the storage device to fewer pages. A determination is made as to whether a processing measurement at the storage device satisfies a threshold. A timer value is set to a positive value in response to determining that the processing measurement satisfies the threshold. The timer is started to run for the timer value. Writes from the host buffer are blocked while the timer is running. Writes remain in the host buffer while the timer is running. A write is accepted from the host buffer to process in response to expiration of the timer.

Abstract: A method includes performing a search of an inverted index structure indexing values of a column to generate an in-range indexed value set by identifying all indexed values of the inverted index structure falling within a range corresponding to a range-based filter. A set of characteristics of the in-range indexed value set are identified based on performing the search of an inverted index structure. When the set of characteristics compare favorably to the set of index-usage requirements, output is generated based on performing a plurality of searches to the inverted index structure based on the in-range indexed value set. When the set of characteristics compare unfavorably to the set of index-usage requirements, the output is generated without performing any searches to the inverted index structure.

Abstract: A dialysis machine includes a user interface for providing visual information and/or spoken information to a user. For example, in some implementations, the user interface may be configured to provide visual information related to an action, such as showing the action being partially or fully completed, and a speaker can provide spoken instructions to assist the user in machine set-up, calibration and/or operation. Such instructions can be particularly useful in a home dialysis setting. In some implementations, the speaker can provide spoken alarms that are related to alarm conditions. The spoken alarms may include patient and/or dialysis machine identifying information. The verbosity of the spoken instructions and/or the spoken alarms may be adjustable, and both may be accompanied by visual information displayed by the dialysis machine (e.g. visual alarms, images and/or video).
