Patent number: 12020223Abstract: A system for managing a financial account in a low cash mode. The system may include a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations. The operations may include providing an interface; providing a notification to a user when a balance in the first account is deemed to be in low cash mode: presenting, when the first account balance is deemed to be in low cash mode, an option for a transfer request; receiving, a selection of the option for the transfer request to connect the first account with a second account; transferring funds from the second account to the first account; notifying the user that funds have been transferred from the second account to the first account; and further notifying the user that the balance in the first account is greater than the threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.Inventors: Urich T. Bowers, Mecal McDade, Todd Tkach, Mike Ley, Jerry Scheller, Mike Kirch, Eric Romantino

Patent number: 7548391Abstract: An apparatus and method for latching an actuator arm assembly can position a read/write head relative to a data storage disk in a disk drive. A latch arm is configured to be moved between a closed position that inhibits movement of an actuator arm assembly in a landing zone and an open position that does not inhibit movement of the actuator arm assembly in the landing zone. A coil is configured to generate an electromagnetic force on the latch arm responsive to a coil current. A bias device is configured to provide a bias force on the latch arm that is substantially opposed to the electromagnetic force from the coil. The latch operating current/voltages is controlled and modified according to environmental conditions such as temperature.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2007Date of Patent: June 16, 2009Assignee: Seagate Technology, LLCInventors: Yanning Liu, Yanchu Xu, Mike Leis

Publication number: 20020116679Abstract: The present invention achieves technical advantages as a FEC decoder. The FEC decoder is made up of a top level controller and individual FEC bit decoders. The top level controller has a state machine for the decoder, and sends out enable signals to the individual bit decoders. In the preferred embodiment, the total delay through the decoding system is only about 14.6 microseconds. Each bit decoder preferably includes a main controller, 3 syndrome generator blocks, a controller for syndrome checkers, 3 syndrome checking blocks, a block to calculate sigma 2, a block to calculate sigma 3, a Chien search block, a storage block, an error correction block, an error counting block, a data selection block, and a decoder status block. The blocks meet all the requirements of Standard T1×1.5/99-R218R3 and operates with both OC-48 and OC-192 data.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2000Publication date: August 22, 2002Inventors: Mike Lei, Clara Baroncelli

Publication number: 20020104053Abstract: The present invention achieves technical advantages as an in-band FEC encoder circuit that is comprised of individual bit FEC encoders. The total delay through the encoding circuit is nominal. The encoder circuit consists of a controller block, a checkbit generator block, a controller state machine block, an FSI bit insertion block, two different blocks to insert in checkbits, and a selection block. These blocks meet all the requirements of the Standard T1X1.5/99-218R3 and operates with both OC-48 and OC-192. In one embodiment, the total delay through the encoding system is only 14 microseconds.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2000Publication date: August 1, 2002Inventors: Mike Lei, Clara Baroncelli

Publication number: 20020104059Abstract: The present invention achieves technical advantages as an in-band FEC syndrome generator and computation circuit. Three syndrome generators are utilized to generate 3 syndromes comprising polynomials. Each syndrome generator is comprised of two linear feedback shift registers (LFSR). Each LFSR operates in both 4-bit parallel mode and a 1-bit serial 39 bit mode. The two LFSRs work together to allow data to continuously be shifted in and the syndrome be generated. The first LFSR shifts in information bits, and at the end of each message, after the information bits have been shifted in, the first LFSR dumps its contents into the second LFSR. This second LFSR shifts in the 39 checkbits which performs the modulus operation. The contents of the second LFSR contain the syndrome once the checkbits have been shifted in. Then, these checkbits are shifted out, 4 bits at a time.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2000Publication date: August 1, 2002Inventors: Clara Baroncelli, Mike Lei
