Abstract: Various embodiments for performing truncate operations in nonvolatile memory are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may include a nonvolatile memory to perform one or more truncate operations on a data file written to the nonvolatile memory and a volatile memory to track a truncate operation performed in the nonvolatile memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A heat dissipating helmet provides a heat dissipating heat pipe portion. One or more high powered LEDs may be in thermal contact therewith providing a significant portion of a heat sink to remove heat from the LEDs to maintain them at a proper operating temperature during operation. The heat dissipating material may be also in contact with air flow as the helmet moves through space thereby allowing convection to assist in removing heat from the helmet.

The heat dissipating material may be also in contact with air flow as the helmet moves through space thereby allowing convection to assist in removing heat from the helmet. Furthermore, heat moving elements located internal to the helmet may assist in transferring heat to the heat dissipating material from the scalp of a wearer.

Abstract: Various embodiments for reclaiming nonvolatile memory space are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may include a nonvolatile memory to perform reclaim operations to recover memory space from a reclaim block containing stored information. The reclaim block may be associated with a reclaim page to store one or more reclaim states indicating progress of the reclaim operations. In some cases, the reclaim states may be written one after another to the reclaim page so that reclaim operations comply with sequential addressing as well as restrictions against bit-twiddling. If power-loss were to occur during reclaim, the reclaim states written to the reclaim page may be used for system recovery. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Directory virtualization may be achieved in semiconductor memories, such as flash memories, by providing a system in which files and directories are interchangeable. A directory may be stored at a virtual address which points to various files. From the user perspective, a tree hierarchy may be achieved. From a hardware standpoint, a series of entries in a table may be linked together by various pointers.
