Patent number: 11880603Abstract: A storage system receives a command from a host to overwrite data that is stored in a memory of the storage system. The command may have been issued in error or by malware, so the storage system preserves the data that the host wants to overwrite, just in case the host later wants to recover the data. To do this, the storage system associates the physical address of the location of the memory that stores the data with a logical block address that is inaccessible by the host. To recover the data, the storage system replaces the logical block address that is inaccessible by the host with a logical block address that is accessible by the host.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Western Digital Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Thomas, Eran Erez, Matt Davidson

Publication number: 20230206242Abstract: A system for payment routing according to a likelihood of settlement. The system includes processors and/or transceivers programmed to receive a payment transaction message relating to a putative payment transaction. The payment transaction message contains putative payment transaction data including a customer identification (ID) for an account and a transaction amount. The system generates a scaled score representing the likelihood of settlement of the putative payment transaction on at least one date for each of a plurality of potential payment rails. Based at least in part on the at least one scaled score for each of the plurality of potential payment rails, the system selects a payment rail from the plurality of payment rails. The system initiates, via the selected payment rail, a payment transaction corresponding to the putative payment transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: Mastercard International IncorporatedInventors: Nicholas Bryan Baguley, Young Mi Catarina Ban, William Campbell, Wally F.
