A method for performing hash code calculations may calculate, during a write operation for a data block, a hash code for an occupied portion of the data block, insert, during the write operation, a marker into the data block, calculate, during a read operation for the data block, a hash code for the occupied portion of the data block, search, during the read operation, for the marker in the data block, and terminate the hash code calculation in response to finding the marker.

Markers for hash code calculations on occupied portions of data blocks

A storage device is disclosed. The storage device may include a first storage. The first storage may include a primary firmware slot to store a first firmware, a secondary firmware slot to store a second firmware, a primary file system slot to store an existing file system, and a secondary file system slot. The storage device may include a processor configured to execute the first firmware or the second firmware. The storage device may include a second storage for user data, the second storage configured to use the existing file system. The second firmware may include a tag indicating that the second firmware is subject to bootup activation.

Systems and method for bootup activation of firmware images

A method for performing hash code calculations may include calculating, during a write operation for a data block, a hash code for an occupied portion of the data block, inserting, during the write operation, a marker into the data block, calculating, during a read operation for the data block, a hash code for the occupied portion of the data block, searching, during the read operation, for the marker in the data block, and terminating the hash code calculation in response to finding the marker. A system may include a first interface configured to receive data blocks, a second interface configured to transmit data blocks, and hash logic coupled between the first and second interfaces, wherein the hash logic is configured to calculate a hash code for the occupied portion of a data block received through the first interface, and insert a marker in an unoccupied portion of the data block.

A pose estimation method includes obtains an event stream from an event-based vision sensor configured to capture a target object to which light-emitting devices flickering at a predetermined first frequency are attached, obtains a polarity change period of at least one pixel based on the event stream, generates an image frame sequence using at least one target pixel having a polarity change period corresponding to the first frequency, among the at least one pixel, extracts a feature sequence including feature vectors corresponding to the at least one target pixel, from the image frame sequence, and estimates a pose sequence of the target object by applying the feature sequence to a deep neural network (DNN) model.

Pose estimation method, pose estimation apparatus, and training method for pose estimation

According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a storage element configured to store both data and metadata, wherein each piece of data is associated with and stored with a corresponding piece of metadata. The apparatus may include a controller processor. The controller processor may be configured to, in response to a piece of data being written to the apparatus: generate a piece of metadata that includes a set of parameters to facilitate a at least partial repair of a block information map, and embed the piece of metadata with the corresponding piece of data.
