Abstract:
Some implementations provide a folding electronic device that includes a base portion, a cover portion and a coupler. The base portion includes a region configured to generate heat. The cover portion includes a display screen, a heat dissipating component, and a thermally insulating component. The heat dissipating component is coplanar to the display screen. The thermally insulating component is coplanar to the display screen. The thermally insulating component is located between the display screen and the heat dissipating component. The coupler is for thermally coupling the base portion to the cover portion. The coupler includes a first component and a second component. The first component is coupled to the region configured to generate heat. The second component is coupled to the heat dissipating component of the cover portion. The coupler provides a path for transferring heat.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for allocating memory to dissimilar memory devices. An exemplary embodiment includes a method for allocating memory to dissimilar memory devices. An interleave bandwidth ratio is determined, which comprises a ratio of bandwidths for two or more dissimilar memory devices. The dissimilar memory devices are interleaved according to the interleave bandwidth ratio to define two or more memory zones having different performance levels. Memory address requests are allocated to the memory zones based on a quality of service (QoS).

A method of controlling signal termination includes providing first logic for selectively terminating signals received at a first device on a bidirectional data bus, providing second logic for selectively terminating signals received at a second device on the bidirectional data bus, sending first signals from the first device to the second device on the bidirectional data bus at a first speed, stopping the sending of the first signals, after stopping the sending of the first signals, enabling the second logic and shifting a reference voltage of the second device from a first level to a second level, after enabling the second logic at the second device, sending second signals from the first device to the second device on the bidirectional data bus at a higher speed, and controlling the first logic based on a speed of signals received at the first device on the bidirectional data bus.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for dynamically allocating a memory subsystem. An exemplary embodiment comprises a method for dynamically allocating a memory subsystem in a portable computing device. The method involves fully interleaving a first portion of a memory subsystem having memory components with asymmetric memory capacities. A second remaining portion of the memory subsystem is partial interleaved according to an interleave bandwidth ratio. The first portion of the memory subsystem is allocated to one or more high-performance memory clients. The second remaining portion is allocated to one or more relatively lower-performance memory clients.

Abstract:
Aspects include systems and methods for increasing performance of a flash translation layer (FTL) of a flash memory device. A copy of FTL tables stored on a flash memory device may be copied to a memory of a host device. The copy of the FTL tables may be directly accessed by the flash memory device to translate between logical addresses provided by the host device for read/write operations from/to a flash memory of the flash memory device, and the respective physical addresses of the flash memory. The flash memory device is granted direct memory access to a portion of the memory of the host device where the copy of the FTL tables is stored. The flash memory device bus masters communication busses connecting the flash memory device to the memory of the host device.
Abstract:
A memory interface includes circuitry configured for applying a variable delay to a portion of a data signal and applying a variable delay to a data strobe. The delayed data strobe samples the delayed portion of the data signal. Delayed portions of the data signal are spaced away from non-delayed portions of the data signal by alternating the routing of delayed bits and non-delayed bits of the data signal. A training block determines and sets a value of the variable delay corresponding to a largest value of a number of recorded eye aperture widths.
