Abstract: The disclosure configures a memory sub-system controller to store random data in a different layout from sequential data. The controller receives a request to store a set of data to a set of memory components. The controller determines whether the set of data corresponds to either sequential data or random data and selects a write cursor from a plurality of write cursors to associate with the set of data in response to determining whether the set of data corresponds to the sequential data or the random data. The controller programs the set of data to one or more of the set of memory components according to a data layout associated with the selected write cursor.

Abstract: The invention is directed to methods for the treatment of diseases and conditions caused by increased vascular permeability. The invention is also directed to methods for returning vascular permeability that is a symptom of a disease or condition to a homeostatic state. Specifically, the invention is directed to methods for the treatment of diseases and conditions caused by increased vascular permeability or returning vascular permeability that is a symptom of a disease or condition to a homeostatic state by administering to a subject suffering from such diseases and conditions and symptoms novel cellular factor-containing solution compositions (referred to herein as “CFS” compositions), including novel sustained-release cellular factor-containing solution compositions (referred to herein as “SR-CFS” compositions).

Abstract: A method and system for inputting a user rating in an electronically-presented space is disclosed. A user may position icons, which represent items for rating, in the electronically-presented space. For example, the user may position, using a mouse, the icons on a 2-D area on a display screen in order to rate the icons. Responsive to the positioning, the system may identify the positions of the icons, such as the positions of the icon within the 2-D area on the display screen, in order to determine the rating, such as a relative rating or an absolute rating. In this way, the method and system disclose a straightforward and simple way for users to input user preference in the electronically-presented space.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for multiple types of alert along an alert bus. A memory device may detect multiple types of alert and use an alert signal along an alert bus to signal a controller of these alerts. Different pulse widths of the alert signal may be used to indicate the type of alert. For example if the alert signal is at an active level between a first duration and a second duration, it may indicate a first type of alert, if the alert signal is active between a third duration and a fourth duration, it may indicate a second type of alert. If the alert signal remains active for longer than a threshold amount of time, it may indicate a third type of alert.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods configured to accurately identify risk levels for individuals with varying sensitivities for those in close proximity to an emitting source and illustrates the impact of weather on levels of toxic concentration of airborne chemicals. As the methods and implementations described herein can be used for any location and any polluting point source of airborne chemicals, it can be a valuable tool to help residents in their efforts to reduce exposures and for medical providers to more accurately diagnose and treat exposed patients. For various distances from a polluting source, this methodology integrates weather, air dispersion analysis and emissions data of a single chemical or mixture of chemicals to provide a quantitative estimate of the frequency of unhealthy exposures to airborne toxins. Moreover, it specifies the frequency and past hours of unhealthy exposures according to the exposed person's sensitivity level.

Abstract: An electronic cigarette with an atomizer cartridge and a battery assembly. The atomizer cartridge has an atomizer coupled to a first and second terminal of a cartridge interface. A passive electrical circuit is coupled between the first terminal and a sensing terminal. The battery assembly has an interface with a first, second, and sensing contact. The interface engages the cartridge interface to provide electrical continuity between the terminals and contacts. The battery assembly has an atomizer drive circuit connected between the first and second contact, and a controller that activates the atomizer drive circuit in response to negative pressure at a draw sensor. A sensing circuit coupled to the sensing contact outputs a parameter signal indicative of the electrical parameters of the passive electrical circuit. The controller activates an RGB LED to produce discrete colors of light corresponding to discrete values of the parameter signal.
