These specific criteria applied to any explicit specific application and this invention is relevant to this type of data taxonomy and can be applied across all areas in which event data may be collected. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160062821 | INVOKING AN ERROR HANDLER TO HANDLE AN UNCORRECTABLE ERROR - A detector detects, using an error code, an error in data stored in a memory. The detector determines whether the error is uncorrectable using the error code. In response to determining that the error is uncorrectable, an error handler associated with an application is invoked to handle the error in the data by recovering the data to an application-wide consistent state. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160062822 | DECODING DEVICE AND ERROR DETECTION METHOD - A decoding device includes a decoding unit that iteratively obtains a decoded bit stream corresponding to an information bit stream of one block, and an error detection unit that divides the decoded bit stream into a plurality of sub-blocks, acquires a plurality of partial remainders respectively corresponding to the sub-blocks, and determines whether an error occurs in the decoded bit stream based on a total remainder in which the partial remainders are added, wherein the error detection unit, of the sub-blocks, acquires a first partial remainder corresponding to a first sub-block including bits in which values are different between a previous decoded bit stream and a current decoded bit stream, and determines whether the error occurs in the current decoded bit stream based on a current total remainder obtained by adding the acquired first partial remainder to a previous total remainder. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160062823 | ERROR DETECTING DEVICE AND ERROR DETECTING METHOD - An error detecting device includes a memory that stores therein first remainders corresponding to a plurality of bit positions p×P (p is an integer equal to or greater than zero) at a predetermined bit interval P among all of remainders obtained by dividing monomials, which correspond to the respective bit positions in a bit string represented by a polynomial, by a generator polynomial for generating an error detecting code, and a processor configured to acquire, from the memory, the first remainders corresponding to p×P of p×P+q (q is an integer equal to or greater than zero and smaller than P) representing normal bit positions of bits of 1 among all of the bits of an input bit string, obtain a cumulative addition result by shifting each of the acquired first remainders by q bits to obtain shift results. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160062824 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCRUBBING DATA WITHIN A DATA STORAGE SUBSYSTEM - Various embodiments for scrubbing data within a data storage subsystem are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method is provided for scrubbing data of a storage element within a data storage subsystem, the method comprising: selecting a storage element from the plurality of storage events; determining that a quantity of active data has reached a predetermined quantity threshold; and temporarily suspending data modifications on a portion of the selected storage element while maintaining read access to the selected storage element in response to the determination. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160062825 | MEMORY DEVICE AND MEMORY SYSTEM WITH SENSOR - According to one embodiment, a memory device includes a first address memory storing a first address; a controller which is based on a first interface which transmits a signal serially and outputs a first command in accordance with the first interface; and a memory which stores data in a nonvolatile manner, is based on the first interface, and stores received write data in an address based on the first address when the memory receives the first command. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160062826 | LEE METRIC ERROR CORRECTING CODE - A memory device may include memory components for storing data. The memory device may also include a controller that determines whether one or more errors exist in a data packet stored in the memory components. The controller may read a code word associated with the data packet, such that the code word may be used to indicate whether the errors exist in the data packet. The controller may then determine a syndrome polynomial based on the code word and determine an inverse of the syndrome polynomial when the syndrome polynomial is not zero. The controller may then determine a first error locator polynomial and a second error locator polynomial based on the inverse of the syndrome polynomial. The first error locator polynomial and the second error locator polynomial may be used to identify one or more locations of one or more errors in the code word. | 2016-03-03 |
