Latest Patents
One of Holmstrom's latest patents focuses on "Storing data on multi-level cell memory cells." This invention is directed to a system for high-efficiency storage in high-capacity non-volatile solid-state applications. The system includes a memory device and a processing device that are operatively coupled. The processing device performs operations such as receiving a request to program data, storing the data by default in a first type of storage with multi-level memory cells, and bypassing a second type of storage with fewer levels. Upon detecting a specific condition, the processing device transfers the data to a third type of storage with a greater number of levels than the first type. This method optimizes storage efficiency and performance by dynamically managing data storage based on user logical block addresses that contain user data.
Another notable patent is the "Thermal islanding heatsink." This invention provides a monolithic heat sink that includes a thermal insulating barrier within a memory sub-system. The memory sub-system can be a solid-state drive that includes a memory device, a power regulation area, and/or a controller. The thermal insulating barrier is strategically deployed between the memory device and the power regulation area or between the memory device and the controller, enhancing the overall performance of the system.
