Publication number: 20150202973Abstract: A charging apparatus with dynamical charging power is configured to charge an electric vehicle. The charging apparatus includes a main power conversion unit, an auxiliary power conversion unit, and a control unit. The main power conversion unit receives an AC power and converts the AC power into a main output power. The auxiliary power conversion unit receives an auxiliary DC power and converts the auxiliary DC power into an auxiliary output power. The control unit controls maximum output power of the main output power to be an upper-limit output power value. When a charging power value of charging the electric vehicle is greater than the upper-limit output power value, the control unit dynamically controls the auxiliary output power according to a power difference value between the charging power value and the upper-limit output power value.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2014Publication date: July 23, 2015Inventor: Yu-Ming CHANG

Publication number: 20150177996Abstract: Technology is described that increases endurance of memory devices through heal leveling. Heal leveling is a lightweight solution to distribute healing cycles among memory blocks. Approaches described herein can accomplish heal leveling without introducing a large amount of overhead. Heal leveling significantly improves the access performance and the effective lifetime of memory blocks. By more evenly distributing the heal count it may not be necessary to directly apply wear leveling based on access counts of each block because each block will be more evenly accessed in the long run. Heal leveling may be performed by moving data that is seldom or never modified after creation, such as read-only files, to blocks having suffered the greatest number, or a high number, of healing cycles.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2014Publication date: June 25, 2015Applicant: MACRONIX INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD.Inventors: YU-MING CHANG, HSIANG-PANG LI, HANG-TING LUE, YUAN-HAO CHANG, TEI-WEI KUO
