  • Patent number: 12106267
    Abstract: A mobile smart container system comprises a housing, an access component configured to secure access to a compartment within the housing when in a closed position, a communication interface configured to wirelessly receive a request to access the compartment, a perceivable output device, an electromechanical latch configured to engage with the access component to releasably lock the access component in the closed position, and a processor. The processor receives and authenticates the request to access the compartment and, in response to receiving and authenticating the request, activates the electromechanical latch to unlock the access component to make the compartment accessible, and outputs, upon actuation of the electromechanical latch, an alert via the perceivable output device to identify the smart container system.

  • Publication number: 20240176705
    Abstract: Aspects of a storage device are provided for handling GBBs with defects between global interconnects and local word lines. The storage device includes a plurality of blocks each including a plurality of word lines, a plurality of interconnects within an interconnect set and between multiple ones of the blocks, volatile memory, and a controller. The controller determines a logical address pattern associated with the multiple ones of the blocks respectively including a program failure, determines whether the logical address pattern is associated with the interconnect set for the multiple ones of the blocks, determines a common word line associated with the program failures in the multiple ones of the blocks, un-marks these blocks as GBBs, and refrains from programming the common word line during respective program operations in the multiple ones of the blocks. Thus, blocks may be reclaimed, defective word line(s) isolated, and likelihood of read-only modes reduced.

  • Patent number: 11704190
    Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory device having a plurality of blocks and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller is configured to determine that an uncorrectable error correction code (UECC) failure has occurred to a block of the plurality of blocks, enable a UECC anti-strike mechanism, and erase the block. The UECC anti-strike mechanism comprises converting a read failure associated with the block to an erase failure. The controller is further configured to retire the block upon determining that the erase is unsuccessful.

  • Patent number: 11657884
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory system erasing groups of connected memory cells separately performs erase verify for memory cells connected to even word lines to generate even results and erase verify for memory cells connected to odd word lines to generate odd results. The even results and the odd results are used to determine if the erase verify process indicates that the erasing has successful completed. In addition, for each group of connected memory cells, a last even result for the group is compared to a last odd result for the group. Even if the erase verify indicated that the erasing has successfully completed, the system may determine that the erasing failed (i.e. due to a defect) if the number of groups of connected memory cells that have the last even result different than the last odd result is greater than a limit.

  • Publication number: 20230078734
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system for detecting a leaking occluder valve is disclosed. Upper and lower occluder elements of an infusion pump are activated to compress a fluid tubing filled with a fluid to isolate the fluid in an upstream portion of the tubing from a downstream portion of the tubing. While the fluid tubing is compressed by the occluder elements, a pumping element of the infusion pump is activated to compress an intermediate portion of the tubing, between the downstream portion and the upstream portion, to cause a pressure increase within the fluid tubing. Using at least one pressure sensor, a determination is made as to whether the pressure increase is present in a portion of the fluid tubing on a side, of an activated occluder element, opposite the intermediate portion of the tubing.

  • Publication number: 20230067655
    Abstract: A method may include capturing, by a camera at an infusion pump, one or more images of the pump loaded with an infusion set. A machine learning model may be applied to the images to detect nonconformities that may be present in the images of the pump loaded with the infusion set. Examples of nonconformities include a misload of the intravenous set in which an upper fitment, a lower fitment, and/or a tubing of the intravenous set is misplaced within the pump. In response to an output of the machine learning model indicating a presence of a nonconformity in the one or more images of the pump loaded with the infusion set, a corrective action may be performed. For example, the pump may be prevented from performing an infusion and a message identifying the nonconformities may be generated. Related methods and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
