Smart Modular Technologies Assigned Patent

Smart Modular Technologies, Inc., Newark, CA, has been assigned a patent (11561739) developed by Marino, Kelvin Alberto, Laguna Hills, CA, for a “catastrophic event memory backup system.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A persistent memory unit for a computer system where the memory unit can detect a catastrophic event and automatically backup volatile memory into non-volatile memory. The memory unit can operate with a limited number of power inputs and detect the loss of power and then initiate a backup after the volatile memory of the memory unit has entered a stable self-refresh mode. The memory unit uses an on-board power management interface controller capable of redistributing power from an input power line and generating different power levels for different components on the memory unit.”
