Filed:

Sep 24, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/586679

Inventors:

Gary S. Almquist - Burnsville MN
Robert V. Moss - Burnsville MN
Kenneth A. King - Hastings MN

Assignee:

Kinquist Corporation - Burnsville MN

International Classification:

F16M 1300

US Classification:

248552

Abstract:

A security device (10) for a trailer is provided having a body member (12) with an auger (30) projecting from the body member (12). The auger (30) rotatably anchors the body member (12) to the ground. A plug (40) projects from the body member (12) for insertion into a socket portion (62) of the trailer. A bail (46) surrounds a portion of the socket portion (62) and locks to the body member (12) such that movement of the body member (12) relative to the socket portion (62) is restrained.

H04L 9/08

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for managing data in a data storage device configured as a storage compute appliance. In some embodiments, the data storage device has a non-volatile memory (NVM) and a controller circuit. The NVM stores a plurality of data sets encrypted by at least one encryption key. The controller circuit performs a storage compute appliance process by locally decrypting the plurality of data sets in a local memory of the data storage device, generating summary results data from the decrypted data sets, and transferring the summary results data across the host interface to an authorized user without a corresponding transfer of any portion of the decrypted data sets across the host interface.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for encryption key shredding to protect non-persistent data are described. In one embodiment, the storage system device may include a storage drive and a controller. In some embodiments, the controller may be configured to power on the storage drive, identify an encryption key on the storage drive created upon powering on the storage drive, and encrypt data in a cache of the storage drive using the encryption key. In some embodiments, the controller may be configured to power off the storage drive and delete the encryption key upon powering off the storage drive. In some cases, the storage drive may include at least one of a solid state drive and a hard disk drive. In some embodiments, the storage drive may include a hybrid storage drive that includes both a solid state drive and a hard disk drive.

International Classification:

G06F 3/06

Abstract:

Systems and methods for enhanced read recovery based on write time information are described. In one embodiment, the systems and methods include opening a block of flash memory cells for programming, tracking a block open time, and performing a read operation of a programmed page from the block based at least in part on the block open time. In some embodiments, the block includes a plurality of pages, each page including a plurality of flash memory cells. In some cases, the block open time includes an amount of time between the block opening for programming to a time the block closes for programming.
