The present disclosure describes technologies and techniques for use by a data storage controller—such as a controller for use with a NAND or other non-volatile memory (NVM)—to provide a user-expandable memory space. In examples described herein, a customer may choose to purchase access to only a portion of the total available memory space of a consumer device, such as a smartphone. Later, the customer may expand the user-accessible memory space. In one example, the customer submits suitable payment via a communication network to a centralized authorization server, which returns an unlock key. Components within the data storage controller of the consumer device then use the key to unlock additional memory space within the device. In this manner, if the initial amount of memory the consumer paid for becomes full, the consumer may conveniently expand the amount of user-accessible memory.

The video file can be quickly encrypted.

An apparatus and method use a scale out paradigm to spread digital content across multiple servers, which then deliver the content in parallel to a client. Spreading content over multiple servers allows easily expanding memory and I / O capabilities at a reasonable cost. The client includes a mechanism for receiving the content on multiple channels from multiple server computer systems, and for assembling the content into a single stream. The result is a system that may be easily scaled to provide digital content to an increasing number of users at a reasonable cost.

The invention relates to an indicator for forecasting the shelf life of cold fresh pork, belonging to the technical field of detecting the quality of the pork by acquiring the temperature of the pork. The indicator forecasts the shelf life of the pork by timely acquiring the temperature of the pork in the circulation process from output to sell. The indicator has small volume and convenient use, can be directly attached to the surface of the cold fresh pork, and timely updates and displays the temperature, the shelf life and the system time of the fresh pork. The indicator uses a high-precision temperature sensor DS18B20 to acquire the temperature of the surface of the cold fresh pork, transmits the temperature value to a micro controller MSP430F1XX through a data wire DQ, uses the controller to forecast the real-time shelf life based on the TTT theory of the temperature, and uses a liquid crystal display LM6059BCW to display real-time temperature, the shelf life, the system time and the food names. The system time, the real-time temperature and the shelf life are all memorized in an extended memory card every 1 hour, and can be transmitted to a computer through serial ports of the indicator as required by users. The indicator has high precision, low energy consumption, multiple functions and convenient operation, and effectively solves the problem for forecasting the shelf life of the cold fresh pork during circulating.

Described is a system and method whereby processes may have multiple memory maps associated therewith to provide curtained memory and overcome other memory-related problems. Multiple maps are used to restrict memory access of existing code such as drivers, without changing that code, and without changing existing microprocessors. A thread of a process is associated with one memory map at a time, which by mapping to different memory locations, provides memory isolation without requiring a process switch. Memory isolation may be combined with controlled, closed memory map switching performed only by trusted code, to ensure that some protected memory is inaccessible to all but the trusted code (curtained memory). For example, the threads of the process may ordinarily run at one privilege level with a restricted map, with map switching is only allowed at a higher privilege level. As the threads run through code, the map may be appropriately changed on entering and leaving the trusted code, thus controlling what memory addresses are accessible based on what code is currently being executed. Map switching among multiple maps eliminates the need to change a process in order to access different memory, thereby allowing expanded memory addressing in a single process and isolating untrusted code run in process from certain memory of that process.

A high-speed digital camera system and method for processing high-speed image data is claimed. The method comprises generating images with at least 3×105 pixels at greater than 200 frames-per-second with an image sensor, downloading an image from the image sensor; defining an area of interest in the downloaded image comprising a plurality of adjacent pixels in the image in which an event of interest is expected to occur, defining at least one threshold level for all pixels in the plurality; uploading the defined threshold level to a processor in the camera, retrieving pixel data in real time from the image sensor, and comparing within the camera the pixel data retrieved in real time from the image sensor to the defined threshold levels. A trigger is set when the threshold levels are exceeded and the camera records the event of interest and stores it in camera memory for outputting to a remote computer. The system comprises an image sensor capable of generating images with at least 3×105 pixels at greater than 200 frames-per-second, processing means capable of providing control signals to the image sensor and processing retrieved imagery in a parallel pipelined fashion, small memory for storing look-up tables or buffering data for external transmission, extended memory with which to store retrieved images capable of being overwritten in a circular buffer fashion, and a digital interface to connect to a host computer or network. The image sensor, processing means, small memory, extended memory, and digital interface are all housed within a single enclosure capable of extended communications with an external host computer or network.
