20120310055 | ULTRA-WIDE BAND NON-INVASIVE BIOLOGICAL SENSOR AND METHOD - The disclosure provides an electromagnetic (EM) sensor system and method that permits rapid and non-invasive measurement of blood glucose or other biological characteristics that exhibits a unique spectral signature, such as its complex electrical permittivity within the frequency range from near DC to microwave frequencies. Low-level EM signals are coupled through the skin and modified by electrical properties of the sub dermal tissues. These tissues essentially integrate with the sensor circuit as they interact with the transmitted EM energy. The guided-wave signal can be sampled and converted to a digital representation. The digital information can be processed and analyzed to determine the frequency-sensitive permittivity of the tissues and a determination of blood glucose level is made based upon the sensor output. The sensor design and method has wide-ranging applicability to a number of important measurement problems in industry, biology, medicine, and chemistry, among others. | 12-06-2012 |

20130060981 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AN ENHANCED CONTROLLER ARCHITECTURE IN DATA STORAGE SYSTEMS - Disclosed herein is a controller architecture that pairs a controller with a NVM (non-volatile memory) storage system over a high-level, high speed interface such as PCIe. In one embodiment, the NVM storage system includes a bridge that communicates with the controller via the high-level interface, and controls the NVM via an interface (e.g., ONFI). The controller is provided a rich set of physical level of controls over individual elements of the NVM. In one embodiment, the controller is implemented in a higher powered processor that supports advanced functions such as mapping, garbage collection, wear leveling, etc. In one embodiment, the bridge is implemented in a lower powered processor and performs basic signal processing, channel management, basic error correction functions, etc. This labor division provides the controller physical control of the NVM over a fast, high-level interface, resulting in the controller managing the NVM at both the page and block level. | 03-07-2013 |
20140201423 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF CONFIGURING A MODE OF OPERATION IN A SOLID-STATE MEMORY - Disclosed herein is an architecture that pairs a controller with a NVM (non-volatile memory) storage system. The NVM storage system includes a bridge device that communicates with the controller. In one embodiment, the bridge device allows for certain data locations (blocks, pages or units at any other granularity) in the flash dies to be (1) placed into a reserved mode where data access is prevented (2) assigned into an SLC (Single-Level Cell) mode or an MLC (Multi-Level Cell) mode in response to controller command, (3) made available for data access after the assignment of mode. This flexibility enables the controller to increase SLC mode or MLC mode data locations based on run-time conditions. In one embodiment, the assignment of the reserved data locations is performed in a way to ensure that warranty conditions imposed by the memory vendors are observed. | 07-17-2014 |

20160026406 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR PROVIDING FLEXIBLE HOST MEMORY BUFFER - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing a flexible host memory buffer are disclosed. One method includes allocating an amount of host memory as a host memory buffer accessible by a solid state drive (SSD) as a cache for SSD data. The method further includes caching data from the solid state drive in the host memory buffer. The method further includes monitoring utilization of the host memory buffer. The method further includes dynamically increasing or decreasing the amount of host memory allocated for the host memory buffer based on the utilization. | 01-28-2016 |

20080281219 | Method and System for Assessing Lung Condition and Managing Mechanical Respiratory Ventilation - The present invention discloses a novel non-invasive, bedside system and method to monitor parameters associated lung changes. A novel approach for monitoring the operation of the respiratory system of a subject is provided. There is also provided a method for objectively evaluating the benefit of one mode of ventilation over another, and for assessing the differences in regional lung vibration during different modes of mechanical ventilation. The method comprises recording one or more signals from the subject, the signal varying in time according to operation of the respiratory system; and; processing the recorded signals to obtain a predetermined functional thereof presenting one or more time-varying energy functions of the subject, an abnormality in the one or more energy functions being indicative of a suspected abnormality in the operation of the respiratory system. The signals may be acoustic signals recorded by a plurality of acoustic sensors placed over the subject's thorax or back, and the at least one time-varying energy function is obtained from one or more specific regions of lung or by summing/averaging the time-dependent acoustic signals of the plurality of sensors indicative of the whole lungs. | 11-13-2008 |

20120315106 | Fastener for strut channel - A self-contained fastener is provided for attaching to a structure having opposing edges that flank a cavity across a gap. The fastener includes a grip member, a clamp member and a latch member. The grip member has a knob and an inner annulus disposed thereon along an axis of symmetry. The knob has a central through-hole coaxial with the inner annulus. The inner annulus has an arc tab that radially protrudes therefrom. The clamp member includes a boss and an outer annulus disposed thereon. The boss has first and second dimensions perpendicular to the axis, the first dimension being shorter than the gap. The clamp member is flanked by opposing ledges along the second dimension. Each ledge is arranged to engage a respective edge of the structure. The inner annulus is coaxially insertable into the outer annulus. The latch member includes a stud and a flange. The stud is insertable at a proximal end into the inner annulus and the through-hole. The flange is disposed at a distal end of the stud and has a third dimension shorter than the gap. The flange and the block can be inserted into the cavity along the respective third and first dimensions through the gap. In response to clockwise turning, the knob rotates the tab within the angular notch until inhibited by the outer annulus, whereby the proximal end of the stud retracts into the through-hole, thereby engaging the fastener to the structure. | 12-13-2012 |
