  • Patent number: 12111731
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include detecting a failure of a first memory subsystem of a plurality of memory subsystems. A first recovery instruction is sent to a second memory subsystem of the plurality of memory subsystems. The first recovery instruction directs the second memory subsystem to recover a first subset of data stored by the first memory subsystem. A second recovery instruction is sent to a third memory subsystem of the plurality of memory subsystems. The second recovery instruction directs the third memory subsystem to rebuild a second subset of data stored by the first memory subsystem. The first and second subsets of data differ from one another.

  • Publication number: 20240333009
    Abstract: Systems, circuits, and methods are disclosed for charging battery cells by generating a shaped charge signal that is shaped as controlled through a signal shaping generator. In one example, one or both of a pair of transistors may be controlled with a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal with a duty cycle. The PWM signal is applied to the gates of the respective transistors to produce a sequence of pulses, which when applied to an inductor, produces a shaped waveform that may be applied to the battery. In an aspect, the duty cycle of the PWM controlling the operation of the transistors correlates to a charge current applied to the battery, such that a higher duty cycle of the PWM control signal results in a higher current applied to charge the battery. The signal shaping generator utilizes a target shape to begin shaping a charge signal for the battery.
