  • Patent number: 9513821
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for indicating flash memory life. While data is being stored in a flash memory, the number of writes in a plurality of blocks of the flash memory increases. The amount of flash memory life is calculated on the basis of the number of write times in the plurality of blocks. The calculated amount of life can be transmitted to a host. In addition, when the calculated amount of life is greater than a threshold value, a signal providing notice that the life of the flash memory has reached a dangerous level can be output.

  • Patent number: 9298578
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage device that uses a flash memory that performs power loss recovery, and to a method of power loss recovery by using the storage device using the flash memory. The storage device stores change information on metadata in physical pages in which one or more logical pages are compressed and stored. The change information on the metadata is information representing how the metadata is changed in association with data in the one or more logical pages. The storage device may synchronize the metadata in the flash memory and recover the metadata by applying the change information on the metadata to the synchronized metadata when a power supply is disrupted.

  • Patent number: 6494009
    Abstract: A concrete retaining wall is disclosed on which flora can be cultured and a method for constructing the same. The retaining wall has a steel skeleton constructed with basal H-beams, aerial H-beams, L-beams, structural steel tubes and steel plates. The basal H-beams and the aerial beams are arranged in a direction parallel with the earth's surface and at a significant angle to the earth's surface, respectively, at such space intervals and dimensions that the retaining wall structure has sufficient bending resistance to overcome active earth pressures. The L-beams, the structural steel tubes and the steel plates are provided as reinforcements between the H-beams. Watertight concrete is applied to the basal H-beams. Wire mesh is attached to the aerial H-beams, the L-beams, the structural tubes and steel plates. The wire-mesh-mounted structure is coated with water-permeable concrete to form a stepped or embossed external surface.
