The present disclosure generally relates to improving data transfer in a data storage device. In double data rate (DDR) systems that include a data bus inversion (DBI) functionality, bit flip events can be more prevalent. To mitigate the effect of enhanced erroneous bit flip rate related to DBI bit flip events, the DBI bit can stay static for a predetermined number of consecutive clock cycles, the error correction module can be informed of reduced reliability due to active DBI bit events, the DBI bit can be set to 0, or combinations thereof. Setting the DBI bit to 0 effectively cancels DBI functionality. Informing the error correction module permits a more robust error correction to occur. Forcing the DBI bit to remain static reduces the probability of an unrecognized bit flip event of a full byte. In so doing, data transfer reliability is improved when using DBI functionality.

A parking availability predictor system provides a prediction of parking availability that meets a user's specified needs. When the user submits a query for parking availability, he can include desired parking criteria such as location, handicapped status, and desired time to begin parking. The system consults a parking occupancy model which gathers current and historical information about parking occupancy, including parking durations and durations of vacancies between occupancies. The model processes the gathered information into a statistical predictor of parking occupancy and vacancy. The system uses the predictor to predict when parking that meets the user's needs will become available. That prediction, including user-suitable parking locations along with the expected start of their vacancies, is then sent to the user in answer to his query.
