Abstract: A commutation circuit includes a coil connected to an H bridge, the H bridge including four main switches for reversing polarity and a resulting coil current in the coil. The commutation circuit further includes a voltage source configured to generate a bypass current, and at least one auxiliary switch for controlling the bypass current to thereby decrease a switch current through at least one of the main switches. By generating an appropriate bypass current with help of a voltage source, a switch current through a desired main switch in a leading state can be decreased and eventually brought to zero. Zero current in its turn enables the use of thyristors as main switches as it results in the thyristors to be turned off automatically. Furthermore, decreased switch current at the switching moment reduces switching losses even in different types of switches such as GTOs and IGBTs.

Abstract: A method for encrypting data may generate an encryption instruction and combine it with a payload of data to form a packet. The packet is associated with a command and passed to a host file system process. The packet, now associated with a second command, is received from the host file system process. The encryption instruction and the payload of data are extracted from the packet. At least a portion of the payload of data is encrypted based on the encryption instruction. A method for decrypting data may receive a packet and generate a decryption instruction. At least a portion of the packet is decrypted using at least the decryption instruction. The second packet comprising the decrypted packet is passed to a host file system process. A third packet comprising the decrypted packet is received from the host file system process. The decrypted packet is extracted from the third packet.

Abstract: In order to create and access a secure storage account in a non-volatile memory device, an account identification value is calculated. A memory identification value is read from a first non-volatile memory device. The memory identification value and the account identification value are transmitted to a second non-volatile memory device, and a calculated credential is received. A command is transmitted to create a secure storage account in the first non-volatile memory device, where the command contains the credential and the account identification value. To access the account, a sequence is transmitted, containing the account identification value and a value based on the credential. A secure storage system contains a first non-volatile memory device that stores a memory identification value and contains a secure partition accessible using a credential, a second non-volatile memory device that can compute the credential, and a host adapted to create and access the secure partition.
