20080232497 | CHANNEL TRACKING IN AN OFDM WIRELESS RECEIVER - An apparatus and a method to track the channel response for subcarriers in an OFDM receiver for a packet of information that includes a known transmitted part. The receiver has a signal-to-tone transformer to determine subcarriers corresponding to a received packet. The method stores a function of an initial estimate of the channel response for a subcarrier, and accepts a pre-decision constellation point value that is a post channel correction using a first estimate of the channel response. The method includes: makes a decision using the pre-decision constellation point value, re-modulates the decision to form a post-decision constellation point value, and forms a complex valued product of the function of the first estimate for the subcarrier and the complex-valued ratio of the pre-decision and post-decision values. This complex valued product forms a measure of the current channel estimate to use for updating the stored quantity. | 09-25-2008 |

20140089567 | HARDWARE INTEGRITY VERIFICATION - A flash memory management method and apparatus provides for the separation of the command and data paths so that communication paths may be used more efficiently, taking account of the characteristics of NAND FLASH circuits where the times to read, write and erase data differ substantially. A unique sequence identifier is assigned to a write command and associated data and association of the data and commands are validated prior to writing to the memory by comparing the unique sequence numbers of the data and command prior to executing the command. This comparison is performed after the data and command have traversed the communication paths. | 03-27-2014 |
20140089569 | WRITE CACHE SORTING - A method of managing a non-volatile memory system is described where data elements stored in a buffer are characterized by attributes and a write data tag is created for the data elements. A plurality of write data tag queues is maintained so that different data attributes may be applied as sorting criteria when the data elements are formed into pages for storage in the non-volatile memory. The memory system may be organized as a RAID system and a write data tag queue may be associated with a specific RAID group such that the data pages may be written from a buffer to the non-volatile memory in accordance with the results of sorting each write data queue. The data elements stored in the buffer may be received from a user, or be read from the non-volatile memory during the performance of system overhead operations. | 03-27-2014 |
20140089630 | VIRTUAL ADDRESSING - A method of relating the user logical block address (LBA) of a page of user data to the physical block address (PBA) where the data is stored in a RAIDed architecture reduces to size of the tables by constraining the location to which data of a plurality of LBAs may be written. Chunks of data from a plurality of LBAs may be stored in a common page of memory and the common memory pages is described by a virtual block address (VBA) referencing the PBA, and each of the LBAs uses the same VBA to read the data. | 03-27-2014 |
