| 20110161559 | PHYSICAL COMPRESSION OF DATA WITH FLAT OR SYSTEMATIC PATTERN - Systems and methods are disclosed to improve the performance of a memory system by freeing up physical memory areas that correspond to logical block address ranges that have repeated data patterns. A controller detects data patterns in incoming data. When a data pattern is detected, the data is not written to non-volatile storage area. Rather, the logical block address range of the data is marked in a data structure as having pattern data. The pattern may also be recorded in the data structure as a pattern descriptor. Because the data having the data pattern is not written to the non-volatile storage area, the freed up corresponding physical memory area may be utilized by the memory system for other purposes, thereby improving the overall performance and endurance of the memory system. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20110296122 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BINARY CACHE CLEANUP - A system and method for clearing data from a cache in a storage device is disclosed. The method may include analyzing the cache for the least recently fragmented logical group, and evicting the entries from the least recently fragmented logical group. Or, the method may also include analyzing compaction history and selecting entries for eviction based on the analysis of the compaction history. The method may also include scheduling of different eviction mechanisms during various operations of the storage device. The system may include a cache storage, a main storage and a controller configured to evict entries associated with a least recently fragmented logical group, configured to evict entries based on analysis of compaction history, or configured to schedule different eviction mechanisms during various operations of the storage device. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20090043947 | MANAGING PROCESSING DELAYS IN AN ISOCHRONOUS SYSTEM - Command cycles incorporate mechanisms to inform a host processor in advance of a need to service the memory so that the host can respond when it suits the host, but in time for the service to be performed before a catastrophic failure. The regular host cycle need not be interrupted for such notification. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20110320685 | Use of Guard Bands and Phased Maintenance Operations to Avoid Exceeding Maximum Latency Requirements in Non-Volatile Memory Systems - Techniques are presented for performing maintenance operations, such as garbage collection, on non-volatile memory systems will still respecting the maximum latency, or time-out, requirements of a protocol. A safety guard band in the space available for storing host data, control data, or both, is provided. If, on an access of the memory, it is determined that the guard band space is exceeded, the system uses a recovery back to the base state by triggering and prioritising clean-up operations to re-establish all safety guard bands without breaking the timing requirements. To respect these timing requirements, the operations are split into portions and done in a phased manner during allowed latency periods. | 12-29-2011 |

| 20120017038 | Non-Volatile Memory And Method With Control Data Management - In a nonvolatile memory with block management system, critical data such as control data for the block management system is maintained in duplicates. Various methods are described for robustly writing and reading two copies of critical data in multi-state memory. In another aspect of the invention, a preemptive garbage collection on memory block containing control data avoids an undesirable situation where a large number of such memory blocks need be garbage collected at the same time. | 01-19-2012 |

| 20090047182 | Electrostatic Fluid Accelerator for Controlling a Fluid Flow - An electrostatic fluid accelerator includes an electrode array comprising an array of corona discharge electrodes and an array of accelerating electrodes for moving a fluid. A detector is configured to sense a constituent component of the fluid. A control circuit supplies power to the electrode array and operates the electrostatic fluid accelerator in response to an output from the detector. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20100051709 | SPACE HEATER WITH ELECTROSTATICALLY ASSISTED HEAT TRANSFER AND METHOD OF ASSISTING HEAT TRANSFER IN HEATING DEVICES - A space heater for heating air includes a duct for transporting air from an inlet to an outlet of the duct; a heating component; and an electrostatic discharge device within the duct for accelerating the gas through the duct from the inlet to the outlet. The electrostatic discharge device may include a high voltage power supply; at least one corona electrode connected to the high voltage power supply; and a collector electrode located proximate the corona electrode and connected to the high voltage power supply so as to induce a motion of the gas in a direction from the corona electrode toward the collector electrode. | 03-04-2010 |
