Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a tumor comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof or an anti-PD-L1 antibody or anti-gen-binding portion thereof, wherein the subject is identified as having a high inflammatory gene signature score and a tumor that has a high tumor mutation burden (TMB) status. In some embodiments, the high inflammatory gene signature score is determined by measuring the expression of a panel of inflammatory genes in a tumor sample obtained from the subject, wherein the inflammatory gene panel comprises CD274 (PD-L1), CD8A, LAG3, and STAT1.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for multi-block update using secure flash memory. An update package is received at a device containing update code to update existing code for the device stored in non-volatile memory. The received update code is stored in a first portion of the non-volatile memory, while pointers identifying storage locations of respective sets of the update code are written to a second portion of the non-volatile memory device. An update process is then performed with the update code by using the pointers to locate the respective sets and assembling the update code. Updated firmware and software images are then written to the non-volatile memory device to complete the update.

Abstract: A flash memory file system logically divides at least a portion of the flash memory into memory fragments and headers associated with the memory fragments. The flash memory file system also includes a transaction information structure in support of transacted operations. The transaction information structure includes fields to indicate whether a transaction has begun, whether commitment of the transaction has begun, and whether commitment of the transaction has been completed. File system operations may be rolled back if a transaction was interrupted.

Abstract: A flash memory file system includes fragments and headers. The headers have a reduced number of states.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a method and apparatus to alter code in a memory is provided. The method may include selecting a first block from a plurality of unmapped blocks in a nonvolatile memory to add or delete code in the nonvolatile memory. The apparatus may include a control circuit to select a first block from a plurality of unmapped blocks in a nonvolatile memory based on a cycle count of the first block to add or delete code in the nonvolatile memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A flash memory file system includes a transaction information structure in support of transacted operations. File system operations may be rolled back if a transaction was interrupted.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a method includes storing a code object in a volume of an execute-in-place memory that includes at least one data object. In certain embodiments, the code object may be stored as a plurality of fragments. Further, the memory may support execution in place such that a processor may execute in place a first code fragment of a code object and execute in place a second code fragment of the code object from the memory, where the code fragments are non-contiguously stored in the memory.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a method includes initiating a reclaim operation on a dirty block of a block-alterable memory if less than a predetermined number of unmapped blocks exist in the block-alterable memory; and writing data into free space of a spare block of the block-alterable memory while the reclaim operation is occurring.

Abstract: A multi-level cell memory may include at least two status bits. The status bits may be examined to determine whether or not a write operation was successful after a power loss occurs.
