Latest Patents

Two of Korst’s described patents address challenges in data storage and streaming.

“Energy Efficient Disk Scheduling for Mobile Applications: Adaptively Extending the Disk Standby Time” presents a method for reducing disk energy use while maintaining streaming performance. The system allocates memory among data-stream buffers and schedules disk activity around their filling and emptying cycles. It places the disk in standby between operations, then recalculates the next spin-up time using current buffer fullness to refine the schedule.

“Method and System for Supplying Streams of Data Having Identical Maximum” describes a system for supplying multiple data streams from storage to users. A scheduler organizes disk reads into repeated sweeps and assigns streams to each sweep based on buffer levels. The approach is designed for streams with the same maximum consumption rate, reserving sufficient buffer capacity and prioritizing streams whose buffers are running low.
