  • Publication number: 20240069785
    Abstract: A system includes a memory device containing multiple dies that each have multiple pages, and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform various operations including scanning a group of pages residing on a die and determining a value of one data state metric and a corresponding value of another state metric. The operations can also include recording a set of values of the first metric and a corresponding set of values of the second metric, as well as calculating the value of the second metric corresponding to a predetermined value of the first metric associated with a failure condition of the die. Additionally, the operations can include identifying a particular criterion that is satisfied by the calculated value, assigning, to the die, a rating corresponding to the identified criterion, and performing scans on the die at a frequency determined by the assigned rating.

  • Patent number: 8589568
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-based technology for handling end-to-end business transactions in a TCP/IP-environment. A managing instance enables logon and provides a pool of IP addresses available for allocation. The managing instance allocates an IP address from the pool and establishes a tunneling IP connection between the managing instance and a user's device. The user's IP address together with any attributes relevant for accounting, authentication and authorization (AAA) are stored during the session time. The correlation between a user's authentication name and an IP address assigned to that name as well as the book-keeping of the validity of that correlation is handled using a session context. Any identification process for a user/subscriber who would like to use any service offered by an e-Service provider will be conducted solely using the assigned IP address.

  • Patent number: 8576990
    Abstract: A method and system for localizing an initial point of an Internet Protocol (IP)-based telephone call that is an emergency call. A Telephony Application Server (TAS)-Proxy receives the emergency call originating from a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) subscriber. An emergency call application transmits to a replication database a request for emergency call data for identifying an initial point of the emergency call. The replication database determines the emergency call data from the IP address of the VoIP and transmits the emergency call data to the emergency call application. The emergency call applications sends the emergency call data to the TAS-Proxy. The TAS-Proxy routes the emergency call, and sends an Emergency ID of the emergency call data, to a local responsible Public Safety Answering Point. The local responsible Public Safety Answering Point can use a reference in the Emergency ID to technical data to locate the initial point of the emergency call.
