    Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating and processing pulses in a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system. In some embodiments, an emitter outputs phase modulated continuous wave (PMCW) light sequences encoded with a selected encoding scheme such as a pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS). An analog processing circuit processes reflected light sequences from a target illuminated by the PMCW light sequences by performing analog extraction of a doppler component and analog encoding correlation prior to digitalization of the received signal. The analog processing circuit can include a plurality of demodulation stages each multiplying the input signals by positive and negative magnitudes of a scalar value at times corresponding to signal transitions of different associated doppler clock frequencies. A threshold circuit applies suitable thresholding, after which the signals can be digitized by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for further processing in the digital domain to obtain range information associated with the detected target.

    Abstract: Interference mitigation for a LiDAR system includes identifying a presence or absence of interference from a non-co-located light source in a sample of incident light received by a detector in the LiDAR system. In the absence of interference, a nominal set of reference values is used for one or more spacio-temporal scanning profile trajectory parameters. Scanner components of the LiDAR system are controlled using the nominal set of reference values. In the presence of interference, the nominal set of reference values is augmented to modify the spacio-temporal scanning profile trajectory parameters. Scanner components of the LiDAR system are controlled using the augmented set of reference values to avoid detection of and interference by the non-co-located light source.

    Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed to preserve data integrity during a storage controller failure. In some examples, a storage controller of an active-active controller configuration can back-up data and corresponding cache elements to allow a surviving controller to construct a correct state of a failed controller's write cache. To accomplish this, the systems and processes can implement a relative time stamp for the cache elements that allow the backed-up data to be merged on a block-by-block basis.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting shingled overwrite errors. When a read error is encountered when reading from shingled recording tracks, a processor may determine whether the read error is an error caused by shingled overwriting. The processor may determine whether the read error is caused by shingled overwriting by determining read signal quality of one or more sectors preceding the read error, such as based on a bit error count or bit error ratio (BER), and comparing the read signal quality to a threshold value. The processor may determine that the read error is caused by shingled overwriting when the read signal quality value is lower than the threshold.

    Abstract: A method of preparing an input vector for a neural network includes capturing a plurality of information about a storage system, including workload types, a processing graph, and read/write histograms, and creating a correlation matrix from processing times of different levels of processes in a workload of the storage system. The input vector is prepared with a workload vector representing the workload types, a behavior matrix representing the processing graph, a read/write histogram shape matrix representing the read/write histograms, and the correlation matrix.

    Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) anomaly monitoring in a storage system. The AI anomaly monitoring may include writing commands into a log jointly with the execution of the commands on storage media of a drive. The log includes information regarding the operation of the drive including, at least, the commands. In turn, each drive in the storage system may include an AI processor core that may access the log and apply an AI analysis to the log to monitor for an anomaly regarding the operation of the drive. As each drive in the storage system may use the AI process core to detect anomalies locally to the drive, the computational and network resources needed to employ the AI monitoring may be reduced.
