Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage device that uses a flash memory that performs power loss recovery, and to a method of power loss recovery by using the storage device using the flash memory. The storage device stores change information on metadata in physical pages in which one or more logical pages are compressed and stored. The change information on the metadata is information representing how the metadata is changed in association with data in the one or more logical pages. The storage device may synchronize the metadata in the flash memory and recover the metadata by applying the change information on the metadata to the synchronized metadata when a power supply is disrupted.

Abstract: A digital spectrum analysis apparatus and method for direction finding (DF) and location is provided. The digital spectrum analysis apparatus includes: a multi-channel unit configured to convert signals inputted from antennas into digital signals, reduce a sampling rate of the digital signals by using a digital down converter (DDC), and convert the digital signals into baseband complex signals, and having a plurality of channels; a DF estimator configured to estimate the direction of the signal; a spectrum processing unit configured to map any one of a bearing and a power level of the baseband complex signal into coordinate system, and allocate different colors to one of the bearings and the power levels depending on the accumulation ratio of one of the bearing and the power level; and a display unit configured to display the power level and the bearing with colors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for storing data in a flash memory using address mapping for supporting various block sizes. A storage device determines the size of a block that a host system uses on the basis of the size of data that the host system requests and uses the determined block size as a mapping unit. Additionally, the storage device divides a logical address space into at least one area, and maps an address using the minimum units of different mappings in each divided area.

Predictive roaming information can identify the wireless client and a home network subnet of the wireless client. The network device provides predictive roaming information associated with a wireless client to neighboring subnets. Neighboring subnets store received predictive roaming information, and use the predictive roaming information if the wireless client roams to them.

Abstract: A network monitoring and control application suitable for use by teachers and other users is implemented using wireless access points and does not require specific software to be installed on client network devices. The application uses student and class information to organize network client information. Upon receiving a monitoring request, one or more classes assigned to the teacher are identified by accessing class data. Class data is accessed to identify students assigned to the class and the client network devices used by these students. One wireless access point providing wireless network connections to at least a portion of the students' devices is selected to collect network activity information from the students' devices and presents this information to the teacher. The teacher may also use the selected wireless access point to disable students' network access or to redirect students' devices to a network resource.
