Abstract: A method includes, responsive to receiving a modified first reservation command from a storage controller, identifying, by a storage drive, a first range of storage based on a first range identifier of the modified reservation command. The method also includes granting, by the storage drive, a reservation for access to the storage drive on behalf of a first host controller by associating the reservation for the first range with a second range of storage.

Abstract: A first amount of energy to be stored at one or more power loss protection (PLP) components is determined to enable storage of data at a plurality of storage devices of a storage system upon an occurrence of a power failure. A first voltage is provided to the one or more PLP components that corresponds to the first amount of energy. A second amount of energy to be stored at the one or more PLP components is determined based on a change in the storage system. A second voltage is provided to the one or more PLP components that corresponds to the second amount of energy.

Abstract: This invention relates to the preparation of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (“glyphosate”) from N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid (“PMIDA”), and more particularly to methods for control of the conversion of PMIDA, for the identification of reaction end points relating to PMIDA conversion and the preparation of glyphosate products having controlled PMIDA content.
