  • Publication number: 20240175587
    Abstract: A beehive indoor-air alternate-working dehumidification system includes a fresh air dehumidification sterilization system. The fresh air dehumidification sterilization system includes a fan, a filter, a dehumidification apparatus, a moisture absorbing material, a plasma generator, a temperature and humidity sensor, a heater, and a three-way valve. A hexagonal prism beehive structure is used in a dehumidification apparatus, and a novel moisture absorbing material with high moisture absorption and high temperature sensitivity is used to dehumidify fresh air, to improve a dehumidification capacity and reduce dehumidification energy consumption. The plasma generator generates ions to sterilize and deodorize fresh air. The temperature and humidity sensor detects humidity of fresh air, determines whether the material needs desorption. The heater heats return air to enable the return air to desorb a saturated moisture absorbing material.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for improved implicit ordered command handling are described. For instance, a memory device may receive, from a host device, a first command and a second command. The memory device may determine whether a first memory operation associated with the first command and a second memory operation associated with the second command are to be performed in an order relative to each other based on a first time when the first command is received relative to a second time when the second command is received. The memory device may select whether to perform a first memory access procedure or a second memory access procedure based on whether the first memory operation and the second memory operation are a same type of memory operation and on whether the first memory operation and the second memory operation are to be performed in the order relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 11995381
    Abstract: Computing devices, computer-readable storage media, and computer-implemented methods are disclosed for prediction of capacity. In a central tier, central-tier benchmark values are generated from benchmark testing performed on different test configurations in a reference execution environment. In a deployment tier, deployment-tier benchmark values are generated from benchmark testing performed on a baseline deployed configuration in many execution environments. A sizing model is learned from the central-tier benchmark values to predict execution platform requirements given a set of workload input parameters. A performance model is learned from the deployment-tier and the central-tier benchmark values to predict a performance delta value reflecting relative performance between a particular execution environment and the reference execution environment. The performance delta value is used to adjust predicted execution platform requirements to tailor the prediction to a particular execution environment.

  • Publication number: 20240089155
    Abstract: A first device may transmit a first symbol for a second device and a second symbol for a third device. The first device may generate a first dictionary and a second dictionary that satisfy a complementary rule. The first device may modulate the first symbol onto an entry from the first dictionary to produce first modulated data and may modulate the second symbol onto an entry from the second dictionary to produce second modulated data. The first device may generate a third symbol as a joint modulation of the first and second modulated data and may transmit the third symbol using a resource element. The second device may decode the third symbol based on the first dictionary to recover the first symbol. The third device may decode the third symbol based on the second dictionary to recover the second symbol. Privacy may be maintained between the second and third devices.

  • Publication number: 20240078022
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory system logical unit number (LUN) procedures are described. A memory system may receive an indication to convert a LUN for storing LBAs associated with an application from a first type to a second type, where the second type is associated with a higher performance defragmentation process than the first type. The memory system may perform defragmentation on data associated with the LUN based on converting the LUN to the second type. The memory system may determine whether the LBAs stored in the LUN are ordered based on the defragmentation, and the memory system may operate (e.g., execute) the application based on the LBAs being ordered.

  • Publication number: 20230178507
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a new package concept that eliminates the need for epoxy or epoxy solder used in traditional clip/lead frame-based power packages. The disclosure overcomes this disadvantage in clip-based packages by depositing the interconnect structure directly to the bod pads. The formation of the interconnect done at lower temperature leads to lower stress induced onto the die. Another advantage of the present disclosure is that semiconductor dies packaged using a method according to the present disclosure will have smaller footprint as the pads are directly built up/deposited. Another advantage of the method according to the present disclosure is that it allows large scale, i.e., panel level processing. Such a panel may include multiple ICs, or transistor or any other semiconductor devices.
