  • Patent number: 11394303
    Abstract: A flyback converter is provided that compares a drain-to-source voltage of a synchronous rectifier switch transistor to a negative threshold voltage to detect whether the synchronous rectifier switch transistor has a partially-open or an open fault condition. The flyback converter also compares a gate terminal voltage of a gate driver to the synchronous rectifier switch transistor to a positive threshold voltage to detect whether the synchronous rectifier switch transistor has a gate open or a gate short-circuit fault condition.

  • Publication number: 20220100681
    Abstract: Read latency for a read operation to a host implementing a PRP/SGL buffer is reduced by generating an address table representing the linked-list structure defining the PRP/SGL buffer. The address table may be generated concurrently with reading of data referenced by the read command from a NAND storage device. A block table for tracking status of LBAs referenced by IO commands may include a reference to the address table which is used to transfer LBAs to host memory as soon as the address table is complete and a block of data referenced by an LBA has been read from the NAND storage device.

  • Publication number: 20220084308
    Abstract: A first feature map corresponding to a first image and a second feature map corresponding to a second image are acquired by performing feature extraction respectively on the first image and the second image according to each scale of preset multiple scales. Similarity between the first feature map and the second feature map located at any two spatial locations is computed corresponding to a target scale combination of the preset multiple scales. An undirected graph is established according to similarities corresponding to respective target scale combinations. The undirected graph is input to a graph neural network that is pre-established. It is determined, according to an output result output by the graph neural network, whether the second image matches the first image.

  • Publication number: 20220083267
    Abstract: A PCIe architecture is disclosed incorporating a controller memory buffer (CMB). Write data is written to the CMB and is not read out for processing upon receiving a write command for the write data. The data is read out of the CMB and processed to obtain processed data upon receiving feedback from a NAND channel controller. The processed data may be written directly to the NAND channel controller or may be written to a light write buffer that is read by the NAND channel controller. The processed data may be written to a light write buffer functioning as a cut through buffer.
