Patent number: 11705741Abstract: Described herein is a battery system that allows a battery pack to operate in different modes at different times. Each of the different modes may provide its own set of functionality that affects how the battery pack operates and/or reacts to external input signals. A mode may change how the battery pack discharges power by, for example, altering whether terminals are enabled or disabled. A mode may change how the battery pack's hardware operates by, for example, disabling or enabling portions of the battery pack's hardware. A mode may change what battery-related services are provided by the battery pack and available to an end user by, for example, enabling or disabling the sending of battery status information from the battery pack.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Inventus Power, Inc.Inventors: Patrick James Trippel, William Tenorio, Ilyas Ayub, Tom Nguyen

Patent number: 10789117Abstract: Embodiments of ensuring data integrity in computing devices and associated methods of operations are disclosed therein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a memory controller, a data request from the persistent storage to copy data from the memory. In response to the received data request, the requested data is retrieved from the memory. The retrieved data contains data bits and corresponding error correcting bits. The method can also include determining, at the memory controller, whether the retrieved data bits contain one or more data integrity errors based on the error correcting bits associated with the data bits. In response to determining that the retrieved data bits contain one or more data integrity errors, the memory controller can write data representing existence of the one or more data integrity errors into a memory location accessible by the processor for ensuring data integrity.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Bryan Kelly, Mallik Bulusu, Tom Nguyen
