Cnex Labs Assigned Three Patents

Computing system with data recovery mechanism and method
Cnex Labs, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,558,524) developed by Fan, Bing, San Diego, CA, and Zhang, Xiaojie, Saratoga, CA, for “computing system with data recovery mechanism and method of operation thereof .“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A computing system includes an array of storage devices configured to store storage data and check data, and a storage engine, coupled to the array of storage devices, configured to: access the storage data, detect an erasure storage data, an erasure check data, or a combination thereof when the storage data is not accessible from the array of storage devices, and recover the storage data from the erasure storage data, the erasure check data, or the combination thereof by applying at least one of a block of check data including a slope from the check data.”

The patent application was filed on July 7, 2016 (15/204,408).

Computing system with data protection enhancement mechanism and method
Cnex Labs, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,558,523) developed by Armstrong, Alan, Los Altos, CA, Huang, Yiren Ronnie, San Jose, CA, and Zhang, Xiaojie, Saratoga, CA, for “computing system with data protection enhancement mechanism and method of operation thereof.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A computing system includes: storage devices configured to read data sectors, and a data correction engine, coupled to the storage devices, configured to: detect an error data sector among the data sectors, generate soft information from the error data sector, apply a soft bit flipping logic to the error data sector to produce a transformed data sector, and generate a corrected data sector from the transformed data sector.”

The patent application was filed on May 31, 2016 (15/169,279).

NVM express controller for remote access of memory and I/O over Ethernet-type networks
Cnex Labs, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,503,679) developed by Huang, Yiren Ronnie, San Jose, CA, for “NVM express controller for remote access of memory and I/O over Ethernet-type networks.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A method and system for enabling Non-Volatile Memory express, (NVMe) for accessing remote solid state drives, (SSDs), (or other types of remote non-volatile memory) over the Ethernet or other networks. An extended NVMe controller is provided for enabling CPU to access remote non-volatile memory using NVMe protocol. The extended NVMe controller is implemented on one server for communication with other servers or non-volatile memory via Ethernet switch. The NVMe protocol is used over the Ethernet or similar networks by modifying it to provide a special NVM-over-Ethernet frame.”

The patent application was filed on August 19, 2016 (15/242,299).
