International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711103, 711154, 711165

Abstract:

A non-volatile memory storage system is provided. The non-volatile memory storage system comprises a memory configured to store a storage system firmware and a non-volatile memory cell array. Additionally included is a processor in communication with the memory and the non-volatile memory cell array. The processor is configured to execute the storage system firmware stored in the memory. The storage system firmware includes program instructions for receiving a write command to write a plurality of data to the non-volatile memory cell array. The write command is allocated a timeout period to complete an execution of the write command. Additionally included are program instructions for asserting a busy signal, performing a portion of a garbage collection operation for a garbage collection time period, writing the data to a block, and releasing the busy signal before the timeout period.

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711103, 711154, 711165

Abstract:

A method for operating a non-volatile memory storage system is provided. In this method, a write command is received to write data.

International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711103, 711154, 711165

Abstract:

A method for phased garbage collection is provided. In this method, a write command is received to write data. The write command is allocated a timeout period to complete an execution of the write command. Thereafter, a busy signal is asserted and a portion of a garbage collection operation is performed for a garbage collection time period. The data are written to a block and the busy signal is released before the timeout period.

US Classification:

711103, 711154, 711165

Abstract:

A non-volatile memory storage system is provided. The non-volatile memory storage system includes a memory configured to store a storage system firmware and a non-volatile memory cell array configured to maintain a buffer. A processor in communication with the memory and the non-volatile memory cell array also is included in the non-volatile memory storage system. Here, the processor is configured to execute the storage system firmware stored in the memory. The storage system firmware comprises program instructions for receiving a write command to write data to the non-volatile memory cell array. The write command is allocated a timeout period to complete an execution of the write command. The storage system firmware also comprises program instructions for performing a portion of a garbage collection operation within the timeout period and for storing the data in the buffer.

Assignee:

CoActive Technologies, Inc. - Newton MA

International Classification:

H01H 9/00

US Classification:

200314, 200516

Abstract:

In an embodiment, a membrane switch may include a flexible light guide having a first refractive index. The flexible light guide may include a first wall, an opposing second wall, and one or more additional walls. One or more of the first wall, the second wall and the additional walls may be disposed adjacent to a substance including a second refractive index that is lower than the first refractive index.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for generating information to be used for selecting values for parameter(s) of a detection algorithm are provided. One method includes without user intervention performing a scan of an area of a wafer using an inspection system and default values for parameter(s) of a detection algorithm to detect defects on the wafer. The method also includes selecting a portion of the defects from results of the scan based on a predetermined maximum number of total defects to be used for selecting values for the parameter(s) of the detection algorithm. The method further includes storing information, which includes values for the parameter(s) of the detection algorithm determined for the defects in the portion. The information can be used to select the values for the parameter(s) of the detection algorithm to be used for the inspection recipe without performing an additional scan of the wafer subsequent to the scan.

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348126, 250310, 348E07085

Abstract:

One embodiment relates to a method of automatically inspecting multiple array regions () simultaneously using an imaging apparatus (). The method includes selecting ( or ) an optimal pixel size such that each array region in the multiple array regions has a grouped cell which is an integer number of pixels in size, and adjusting a pixel size of the imaging apparatus to be the selected optimal pixel size. Optimal pixel sizes within an available range of pixel sizes may be determined by finding () a largest common divider of cell sizes of the multiple array regions when the cell sizes are expressed in integers. Pre-set criteria may be applied to determine () which, if any, of the optimal pixel sizes are acceptable based on pre-set criteria. If none of the optimal pixel sizes are acceptable, then one of the array regions may be marked for digital interpolation (see ). Other embodiments, aspects, and features are also disclosed.

Appl. No.:

17/190406

Inventors:

Jason Lin - Fremont CA, US

International Classification:

F24F 7/02

Abstract:

This application discloses a wind pressure-driven air intake device for natural ventilation of zero power consumption. Such a device comprises multiple tunnels being arranged around a common central chamber, each having an inflow valve at its inner end connecting the central chamber and an outer end open to ambient airflow. The inflow valve allows only inward flow from a corresponding tunnel into the central chamber. The central chamber has an opening allowing airflow exit to a space to be ventilated. The device is capable of capturing ambient wind flow and wind pressure to be fed to the vented space regardless of wind flow direction towards the device, with no need for a powered air driver.
