This is a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device capable of raising the speed of write operation of Y access circuits in a 1×sense latch circuit+2×SRAM configuration. In a multi-value flash memory, in a mode of writing from the lower voltage side, writing and erratic determination are performed after data are transferred from SRAMs to a sense latch circuit for “10” and “00” distributions; after the data transfer for “01” distribution, writing is done; after the data transfer for “11” distribution word disturb determination is done; and simplified upper limit determination is done in this sequence. In particular by (1) writing from the lower voltage side of the threshold voltage distribution in the multi-value memory and (2) consecutive application of “write processing” and “upper limit determination processing” to each threshold voltage distribution, after the end of write processing for “10” and “00” distribution, since the threshold voltages of all the memory cells are lower than the upper limit determination voltages of the “10” and “00” distributions, no transfer of write data is needed in upper limit determination processing because other threshold voltage distributions are not masked.

A slicer for a decision feedback error equalizer system that processes trellis encoded data using the ATSC trellis code is implemented in two parts. A first part includes a trellis decoder that estimates a single bit of the symbol. The second part includes two partial trellis decoders. A multiplexer directs the received digital samples to one of the two trellis decoders responsive to the estimated symbol. An alternative slicer estimates two bits of the output symbols and selects from among four decoders to fully decode the symbols. The slicer is used in an equalizer having adaptive filters that may operate either on passband or baseband signals. The slicer is used both to recover the carrier signal on which the symbols are modulated and to provide symbols to the second filter that are used to determine filter coefficients for the second filter.

Systems and methods for managing congestion in a network are disclosed. One method can comprise establishing a connection between a first network device and a second network device, wherein the first network device has an associated data limiter value such as a congestion window (CWND). The size of the CWND can be modified, for example, at a first rate, when no congestion is detected. In response to the congestion window size exceeding a threshold value associated with the connection, the size of the CWND can be modified based on round trip time (RTT) associated with the connection. If congestion on the connection is detected, the congestion window size can be modified to a value based on at least in part the bandwidth and RTT of the connection between the first network device and the second network device.

A method for minimizing latency of data transfer between the redundant storage controllers in a network-based storage controller system that utilizes adaptive data throttling. Each redundant storage controller monitors latency for round trip communications between the redundant controllers by calculating a time required to mirror a write to the other controller and receive a write acknowledge. An average latency for round trip communications between the redundant controllers during a fixed monitoring period is calculated, and at the end of each fixed monitoring period, the average latency is compared to a fixed latency to access the average time latency for mirroring writes is good, acceptable or unacceptable. If the average time latency is good, the one controller reduces or disables throttling for data transfers between the one controller and the server, and between the one controller and back-end storage, increasing a number of this type of data transfer that can be executed in parallel. If the average time latency is acceptable, the one controller does not adjust throttling for data transfers between the one controller and the server, and between the one controller and back-end storage. If the average time latency is unacceptable, the one controller increases data throttling for data transfers between the one controller and the server, and between the controller and the back-end storage, decreasing a number of this type of data transfer that can be executed in parallel.

An approach to queuing data at a network switching node includes assigning a queue value such as a priority value or a weight to each of a plurality of queues which temporarily store data packets to be forwarded toward a link on the network. A bandwidth value related to a maximum amount of data to be transferred on the link is defined. A data limit value is assigned to each of the queues to limit the amount of data that can be forwarded from each queue. The data limit value is derived from the bandwidth value for the link. By placing bandwidth-related limits on the queues, low-priority queues are prevented from being dominated by high-priority queues, that is, low-priority queues are not prevented from forwarding their data by the priority structure. Also, the bandwidth-related limits allow for control of traffic flow to prevent overloading lower-capacity links on the network.

A remotely configurable telematics unit cache provides for selective caching of data of interest to a remote caller. The configurable caching system ensures that selected data is available when the vehicle is not in operation and the telematics unit is not powered on. A remote caller can remotely configure the telematics unit cache to selectively store data of interest. Subsequently, the telematics module can accept calls from the caller and the cached information can be pulled. Thus, the configurable cache allows a remote caller to selectively and positively configure the cache to store desired data to be later uploaded without requiring a call-back from the telematics unit and without limiting the cached data to predetermined data groups.
