Title: Fast data back-up and restore between volatile and flash memory
Inventor: PALMER MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2013-08-19
Abstract: Memory controller 1000 backs-up stripes of data to a flash memory system. The system comprises channels, e.g. flash devices, divided into dies, each having two planes, where each plane includes blocks, and where each block comprises a number of pages for data payload. Stripes are sets of pages across all available channels, dies, and planes having the same block and page addresses. Each stripe further comprises first metadata indicating known bad blocks. Grown bad block component 1034 determines when an error occurs in a block of flash memory during back-up. Component 1034 rewrites the stripes to exclude block with errors and embeds second metadata with locations of newly discovered bad blocks. After checking first and second metadata, component 1034 writes to more planes simultaneously if no bad bock indication is given. By flagging new bad-block locations, time is not wasted erasing blocks when new bad-blocks are encountered at back-up.

Title: A Multi-tier scheme for logical storage management
Inventor: ARTNAK GEORGE G JR
IPC: G11C16/10
Filed: 2015-09-23
Abstract: A storage device 2 comprising a controller 8 and a memory array 10 which includes a plurality (16Aa-16Nn) of memory chips (ICs, dies) arranged into a plurality of channels (18A-N). Each channel provides a common I/O and control bus for the die attached to that particular channel (e.g die 16Aa-16An attached under control of channel 18A). The controller 8 is configured to define two or more die-sets (groups or collections of memory die) based on the respective chip enable (CE) lines (CE0-N) associated with the plurality of dies, wherein each die-set includes at least one die associated with each of the designated plurality of channels (18A-18N); the controller 8 further defines, from a selected die-set, a plurality of blocksets, wherein each blockset includes a block from each die of the selected die-set. The storage device 6 may further receive, via a host 4 and Interface 14, a unit of data to be stored and subsequently issue commands to enable this data to be stored in blocks of a selected blockset (see figure 5). It may follow that not all of the respective die sets are concurrently active in order to reduce power consumption. Alternatively the controller may allow a first die set to be active whilst another may execute memory garbage collection. Thus the splitting of die into die sets allows for optimization of garbage collection, wear levelling, power consumption and reduction of effects of write amplification. The system is particularly suited to solid state disk (or disc) SSD storage devices which utilise NAND FLASH memory cells. A method and a computer program implementation of the method are included.

Title: Electro-optic modulation of optical signal
Inventor: DOUGLAS MAX GILL
IPC: G02F1/21
Filed: 2016-03-02
Abstract: A method of modulating an optical input with a radio frequency (RF) signal, a method of manufacturing an interdigitated PIN phase modulator, and an electro-optical modulator including the interdigitated modulator are described. The method includes splitting 105 an optical input 110 to a first optical input and a second optical input, traversing a first region and a second region, respectively, with the first optical input and the second optical input, and modulating the first optical input with the RF signal 120 in the first region. An encoded light signal 130 is then generated based on an interference between the outputs of the first and second regions 145. Selection of the width of the instrinsic regions in the interdigitated modulator during fabrication affects the propagation speed and line impedance of the modulating radio frequency signal during operation of the modulator. Selection of the width of the n-doped and p-doped fingers of the modulator affects optical loss. The width selections allow the capacitance of the device to be set. The device may be a Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
