Abstract: This patent application discloses methods and systems for alerting computerized motor-vehicles about predicted accidents. In an example method, a motor vehicle alerts another motor vehicle about a predicted accident, even though that accident is between the alerting car and a third motor vehicle—for example, the alert is transmitted by non-visual electromagnetic (EM) radiation. When an adjacent motor vehicle receives such accident alert and determines it might itself be hit, it will react so as to minimize its chances of being hit or at least to minimize the damage if it is being hit. Optionally, one or more of the motor vehicles has an onboard device for measuring a blood-alcohol level of a human driver thereof. The measured blood-alcohol level may be used to compute a probability of an occurrence of an accident and/or may be included in one or more of the transmitted accident alerts.

Abstract: Methods and systems for sharing the access rights of multiple users in a computing system, so as to enable a specific user to temporarily access controlled objects for which he does not have access rights, and another user does have access rights.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a Set-Top Box (STB) that in addition to outputting a TV signal to an external TV set also supports conferencing between different users located at different locations. When a user is engaged in a conferencing session he may at the same time also view and listen to a TV program on the TV set. The STB of the present disclosure is able to cancel audio disturbances in the outgoing audio signal of the session that might be caused by the TV audio signal played by the TV speaker penetrating the session as a result of being received by the video conferencing microphone.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a non-volatile memory and a controller. The controller is configured to store a first sequence of addresses based on a first sequence of read instructions received from a host device. Subsequent to storing the first sequence of addresses, the controller is configured to receive a second sequence of read instructions from the host device and to determine whether a second sequence of addresses that is based on the second sequence of read instructions matches the first sequence of addresses. The controller is configured to relocate at least one page of the non-volatile memory at least partially based on the second sequence of addresses matching the first sequence of addresses.

Abstract: A method of reading data at a data storage device that includes a non-volatile memory includes identifying a first set of storage elements of a first word line of the non-volatile memory that satisfy a condition. The condition is based on one or more states of one or more storage elements. The method includes determining a first read voltage corresponding to the first set of storage elements of the first word line and determining a second read voltage corresponding to a second set of storage elements of the first word line that do not satisfy the condition. The method includes reading data from the first word line by applying the first read voltage to the first set of storage elements of the first word line and applying the second read voltage to the second set of storage elements of the first word line.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory and a controller. Mapping circuitry is configured to apply a mapping to received data to generate mapped data to be stored into the memory. The mapping is configured to reduce an average number of state changes of storage elements per write operation.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory and a controller. Mapping circuitry is configured to apply a mapping to received data to generate mapped data to be stored into the memory. The mapping is configured to reduce an average number of state changes of storage elements per write operation and is independent of the states of the storage elements prior to the writing of the mapped data.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory and a controller. Mapping circuitry is configured to apply a mapping to received data to generate mapped data to be stored into the memory. The mapping is configured to increase average reliability by reducing an average number of state changes of storage elements per write operation and to reduce average write time by reducing a number of operations for storing the mapped value into the storage elements.

Abstract: Methods for reducing program disturb in non-volatile memories are described. In some embodiments, a non-volatile storage system may acquire a first set of intermediate data to be written to a plurality of memory cells, determine a current set of intermediate data written in the plurality of memory cells, determine whether to invert the first set of intermediate data based on the current set of intermediate data, invert the first set of intermediate data, and write the inverted first set of intermediate data to the plurality of memory cells. The memory cells that are already at the correct state may be skipped over and not programmed, thereby improving programming speed and reducing the cumulative voltage stress applied to unselected memory cells.

The insulin administering device is configured to connect with a computing device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet PC, a wearable device, a laptop computer or other suitable device, communicating commands and status updates. The control of such administering system may be useful for medical assessment and care of a subject suffering from a medical condition requiring administering of injected medicines such as a diabetic patient with need to inject insulin or glucagon regularly. The current invention may use various administering devices such as an insulin pen, a syringe, an insulin pump and more. The communication channel between the computing device and the insulin administering device may use audio communication channel, visual communication channel or capacitive communication channel.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for displaying an overlay on top of media content are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a request for presentation of an overlay on top of the media content at a target position on the display screen is handled (e.g. by a local terminal) in accordance with a dynamically determined extent of interference caused by the overlay to the media content. In some embodiments, a modification to at least one overlay attribute of the overlay is computed in accordance with the determined extent of interference, and the modified overlay is display over the underlying media content. Examples of ‘overlay attributes’ include size, color, transparency and shape.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a non-volatile memory and a controller. A method includes sending a memory command from the controller to the non-volatile memory. The memory command indicates multiple sense operations to be performed at a single plane of the non-volatile memory.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer-readable code for maintaining flash data structures in accordance with events of a flash memory system are disclosed. Both an events log as well as at least one flash management table are maintained in flash memory. For at least one point in time, a most recently stored flash memory table is indicative of an earlier state of the flash memory system, while at least one event that is more recent than the earlier state is stored in the events log. During power-up, the flash management table is retrieved from flash memory. If the most recent event of the flash memory table is earlier than the most recent event of the events log, events are retrieved from the events log in order to update the flash memory table. Optionally, the updated flash memory table is saved to flash memory.
