Patent number: 11934278Abstract: A data storage library is described that protects against a malware attack by providing a scheduled write window of time where archive data can be written to tape cartridges in the tape library on behalf of a client. At times outside of the write window, the tape library is disabled from writing any archive data to any of the tape cartridges in the tape library. Accordingly, the tape library is protected from a malicious entity attempting to download malware to tape cartridges in the tape library outside of the designated write windows. The tape library is configured to provide or otherwise read archived data from a tape cartridge both in the write window and outside of the write window.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Spectra Logic CorporationInventors: Nathan Christopher Thompson, Matthew Thomas Starr, Matthew Ninesling, Walter Wong

Patent number: 11622194Abstract: A recurrent neural network is employed in a loudspeaker system to compensate the distortion of the system based upon a source signal (content) and the sensing output of a sensing circuit (context). A frequency domain transform is selected to provide mapping between the source signal and a recorded signal; and enable reconstruction of desirable playback. Various sensing-related features and source-related features are derived to serve as the auxiliary information. A desirable content is therefore generated based upon the original content and the context.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Nuvoton Technology CorporationInventors: Powen Ru, Jin Hee Kim, Nathan Wong, Pratul Saini
