Patent number: 12578969Abstract: A BIOS code storage subsystem modification system includes a computing device having BIOS code storage device modification subsystem coupled to a BIOS storage system that includes a BIOS code storage device and a BIOS data storage device. The BIOS code storage device modification subsystem receives a BIOS code storage device modification interrupt and, in response, provides BIOS code storage device modification information in the BIOS data storage device. Subsequent to providing the BIOS code storage device modification information in the BIOS data storage device, the BIOS code storage device modification subsystem causes the computing device to perform a first reboot. During a first initialization of the computing device in response to the first reboot, a BIOS in the computing device identifies the BIOS code storage device modification information in the BIOS data storage device, and uses the BIOS code storage device modification information to modify the BIOS code storage device.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2023Date of Patent: March 17, 2026Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Ching-Lung Chao, Yiping Zhou, David Keith Chalfant, Wei Liu, Parth Girishkumar Bera, Po-Yu Cheng, Yu-Hsuan Chou

Patent number: 12353282Abstract: A memory device Post Package Repair (PPR) failure handling system includes a memory device having a first memory subsystem, and a memory management subsystem coupled to the memory device. The memory management subsystem identifies a first PPR request to perform first PPR operations on the first memory subsystem, and performs first PPR operations on the first memory subsystem based on the first current PPR request. The memory management subsystem may determine that the first PPR operations on the first memory subsystem have failed and, in response, increment a first PPR failure counter for the first memory subsystem, If, following the incrementing the first PPR failure counter for the first memory subsystem, the memory management subsystem determines that the first PPR failure counter for the first memory subsystem has reached a PPR failure count threshold, the memory management subsystem disables use of the memory device.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2023Date of Patent: July 8, 2025Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Ching-Lung Chao, Yiping Zhou, Yu-Hsuan Chou, Yu-Shuang Liao

Patent number: 10296644Abstract: Architecture that enables the extraction of document-specific salient terms from documents for use improving the result summaries on a search engine result page (SERP), and methods to extract the salient terms from the documents using search engine logs, document metadata, and other algorithms. Document-specific salient terms can provide additional information and significantly improve user success in finding relevant documents while disregarding non-relevant documents. The architecture also enables the extraction of entity information from a variety of sources, some of which are at a query level, and other sources that are specific to a single document. All the entities available are aggregated for a set of results and the most relevant results are identified. The final set of results is then used to determine where in the document summary to apply visual emphasis or cues (e.g., bolding).Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yiping Zhou, Gianluca Donato, Aparna Rajaraman, Oana Nicolov

Patent number: 9864808Abstract: An entity-based search system is described herein that detects and recognizes entities in Internet-based content and uses this recognition to organize search results. The system associates one or more entity identifiers with a web page and stores this information as metadata of the page in a search engine index. This metadata will enable entity-based queries as well as rich data presentations in a search engine result page (SERP), including grouping results by entities, filtering results by one or more particular entities, or re-ranking search results based on user preference of entities. Thus, the entity-based search system allows users to identify a particular entity the user is interested in finding, and to receive search results directly related to that entity.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2017Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kang Li, Yi Li, Yiping Zhou, Zhengdong Lv, Yohn Cao
