  • Patent number: 12260122
    Abstract: A method of operating a storage controller which communicates with a host device and a non-volatile memory device is provided. The method includes: receiving a first command from the host device indicating a read operation of first status information of a first zone random write area (ZRWA) in a first zone region, wherein the first command complies with a zoned namespace (ZNS) standard; obtaining the first status information from a zone status table in the storage controller based on the first command, wherein the first status information indicates at least a portion of a first physical region of the non-volatile memory device corresponding to the first ZRWA in which first data are stored; and providing the first status information to the host device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9809923
    Abstract: Disclosed are a laundry treatment machine and a method of operating the same. The method of operating the laundry treatment machine includes performing a primary sensing of an amount of laundry within the tub, supplying water to a first water level within the tub, sensing the level of water within the tub, performing a secondary sensing of the amount of laundry within the tub, and judging whether the laundry includes dry laundry or wet laundry using the primarily sensed amount of laundry, the secondarily sensed amount of laundry, and the sensed water level value. This method ensures efficient implementation of sensing of amount of laundry.
