Abstract: This disclosure provides techniques hierarchical address virtualization within a memory controller and configurable block device allocation. By performing address translation only at select hierarchical levels, a memory controller can be designed to have predictable I/O latency, with brief or otherwise negligible logical-to-physical address translation time. In one embodiment, address transition may be implemented entirely with logical gates and look-up tables of a memory controller integrated circuit, without requiring processor cycles. The disclosed virtualization scheme also provides for flexibility in customizing the configuration of virtual storage devices, to present nearly any desired configuration to a host or client.

Abstract: A vacuum suction acne remover includes a main control module, a vacuum suction module including a suction head and a vacuum pump connected to the suction head and controllable by the main control module to generate a suction force at the suction head for sucking out acne from the skin, and a camera module having an imaging lens controllable by the main control module to capture the image of the area being sucked by the vacuum suction module. During the suction process of the vacuum suction module, the camera module can observe the image of the suction area, and the suction of the vacuum suction module can be adjusted according to the depth of the acne displayed on the screen to avoid blind acne removing action and incomplete cleaning and to prevent the skin from being damaged due to excessive suction, thereby improving the efficiency and cleanliness of acne removal.

Abstract: A visual beauty instrument includes a control module, an image acquisition module, a suction control module, a fill light module, a suction nozzle assembly and a mobile terminal. The image acquisition module collects the image signal of the suction area and feeds back the image signal to the control module. The control module analyzes the image signal and controls the suction control module and the fill light module. The suction control module sucks up the acne and blackheads on the skin surface by the suction nozzle assembly. The fill light module improves the recognition of acne and blackheads. The invention can observe the distribution and size of blackheads and acne in the inner layer of the skin and compare the number of blackheads and acne before and after suction, ensuring thorough cleaning, improving removal efficiency and preventing skin damage caused by excessive suction.

Abstract: A request is received to access at least one data unit of a larger data object by an entity within a local host, which is then queried to determine if the requested data unit is present. If the requested data unit is present in the local cache, it is fetched from the local cache. If the requested data unit is not present in the local cache, however, a respective cache within at least one target host, which is different from the local host, is queried to determine if the requested data unit is present remotely and, if so, the data unit is fetched from there instead. If the requested data unit is not present in the local cache or the cache of the target host, the data unit is fetched from a common data storage pool.

Abstract: Technologies for optimizing transmitter equalization include a computing device having a data port and a retimer. The retimer includes two serial data links, a clock recovery device, and a signal repeater. One serial data link of the retimer is connected to the data port. A bit-error rate test instrument (BERT) is connected to the other serial data link of the retimer and sweeps through multiple transmitter equalization settings while sending a compliance pattern. The retimer sends back the compliance pattern in a loopback mode. The BERT measures bit-error rate data, and an optimized transmitter equalization setting is determined based on the bit-error rate data. An end device may be configured with the optimized transmitter equalization setting and may be connected to the retimer instead of the BERT. The data port may be a PCI Express port or a backplane Ethernet port. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: In a processing system in which at least one entity issues data read and write requests to at least one storage system that stores data as data units, pluralities of data units are grouped. Each group is written as a respective cache line in a cache, which is deduplicated. Before evicting a selected one of the cache lines, a caching component determines whether at least one of the data units in the selected cache line is still active; if so, then the still active data unit(s) in the selected cache line is read and written to a different cache line.
