  • Patent number: 9195530
    Abstract: A controller-bridge architecture in which a bridge device coupled with the non-volatile memory (NVM) handles inline read-modify-write function under instructions from a controller device is disclosed. In some embodiments, instead of transferring an entire range of data (e.g., a whole NVM page) across a bus between the bridge and the controller twice (once before and once after modification), only the modification data is sent by the controller to the bridge across the bus. The bridge in some embodiments also handles error correction and/or RAID parity striping in the read-modify-write process.

  • Patent number: 9058261
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to providing detailed error reporting of data operations performed on a NVM storage device. In one embodiment, a controller interfaces with a NVM storage device including NVM storage coupled with a bridge. In one embodiment, the controller is provided physical, page-level access to the NVM via the bridge, and the bridge provides detailed error reporting of the data operations that the bridge performs on the NVM on behalf of the controller. For example, the bridge may provide page level reporting indicating which page(s) failed during a read operation. Detailed error reporting allows the controller to better understand the failures that occurred in a data access operation in the NVM. It also enables the controller to manage the flash media at the physical page/block level. In one embodiment, detailed error reporting also enables the return of discontinuous ranges of data with the error portions removed.

  • Patent number: 9053008
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a controller architecture that pairs a controller with a NVM (non-volatile memory) storage system over a high-level, high speed interface such as PCIe. In one embodiment, the NVM storage system includes a bridge that communicates with the controller via the high-level interface, and controls the NVM via an interface. The controller is provided a rich set of physical level of controls over individual elements of the NVM. In one embodiment, the controller includes a volatile memory (e.g., DRAM) that stores parameters related to the operation of the NVM as provided by the bridge. The parameters may be related to optimizing use of the NVM and are automatically appended by the controller to appropriate data storage commands to the bridge. The parameters may be stored in a table format in which each entry is indexed by a physical address of the NVM.

  • Publication number: 20150118035
    Abstract: A turbine stage for a turbine engine, the stage including a nozzle and a wheel mounted inside a sectorized ring carried by a casing. The nozzle is attached to the casing and is retained axially downstream by bearing against an annular split ring. Each ring sector includes at its upstream end a member of C-shaped section that is engaged on the casing rail and that holds the split ring radially. A radially inner wall of the C-shaped member of each ring sector extends inside the split ring over an entire axial dimension thereof and its upstream end portion is engaged in at least one recess of the nozzle.

  • Patent number: 9021168
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a controller architecture that pairs a controller with a NVM (non-volatile memory) storage system over a high-level, high speed interface such as PCIe. In one embodiment, the NVM storage system includes a bridge that communicates with the controller via the high-level interface, and controls the NVM via an interface (e.g., ONFI). The controller is provided a rich set of physical level of controls over individual elements of the NVM. In one embodiment, the controller is implemented in a higher powered processor that supports advanced functions such as mapping, garbage collection, wear leveling, etc. In one embodiment, the bridge is implemented in a lower powered processor and performs basic signal processing, channel management, basic error correction functions, etc. This labor division provides the controller physical control of the NVM over a fast, high-level interface, resulting in the controller managing the NVM at both the page and block level.

  • Publication number: 20150074426
    Abstract: Embodiments for generating and using an enhanced initialization vector are disclosed. In one embodiment, data and a record identifier to which the data is to be written are received. An initialization vector for encrypting the data is then generated. The initialization vector is based on the record identifier and a value that changes every time that the record identifier is to be written to. The value can be generated, for example, by a counter that increments every time the record identifier is to be written to or by a random number generator that generates a random number every time the record identifier is to be written to. In some embodiments, the generated initialization vector is also based on a second value, such as, for example, a value that is shared by other storage modules or a value that is unique to the storage module.

  • Patent number: 8967913
    Abstract: A mooring leg connector (4) is configured for use with a mooring chain part (3) of a mooring leg extending up from the sea floor to moor a floating structure (1) to the seabed. The connector has an elongate tubular element (5) extending in the mooring leg direction and a latch mechanism (6) for fixation of the mooring chain part to the floating structure to be moored and preventing movement along the mooring leg in the direction of the seabed. The elongate tubular element has a passage for the mooring chain to pass through and includes at the top a double articulation axis including a roll articulation (7) and a pitch articulation (8). The roll and pitch articulations are coplanar.
