Extreme low formaldehyde emission uf resin with a novel structure and its preparation

Номер: US20120088897A1

The present invention relates to an extreme low formaldehyde emission UF resin with a novel structure, and a process for its preparation. This UF resin is produced from formaldehyde, urea, a long chain multi-aldehyde prepolymer, and some modifiers. Its process follows three steps: weak caustic, weak acid and weak caustic. By using this prepolymer, the modified UF resin has stable alkyl ether structure, and the residual aldehyde groups on the UF polymer chain could accelerate cross-linking instead of dissociative formaldehyde. The UF resin made from this invention has extreme low dissociative formaldehyde and simple technology. The boards produced from this resin have good physical performance and water resistance. Moreover, the formaldehyde emission of the boards is extreme low, achieving Japan F⋆⋆⋆⋆ grade, the average emission value≦0.3 mg/L.

LOGICAL TO PHYSICAL ADDRESS MAPPING IN STORAGE SYSTEMS COMPRISING SOLID STATE MEMORY DEVICES

Номер: US20130124794A1

The present idea provides a high read and write performance from/to a solid state memory device. The main memory of the controller is not blocked by a complete address mapping table covering the entire memory device. Instead such table is stored in the memory device itself, and only selected portions of address mapping information are buffered in the main memory in a read cache and a write cache. A separation of the read cache from the write cache enables an address mapping entry being evictable from the read cache without the need to update the related flash memory page storing such entry in the flash memory device. By this design, the read cache may advantageously be stored on a DRAM even without power down protection, while the write cache may preferably be implemented in nonvolatile or other fail-safe memory. This leads to a reduction of the overall provisioning of nonvolatile or fail-safe memory and to an improved scalability and performance. 1. A storage controller for controlling a reading and writing of data from/to a solid state memory device , comprisinga read cache for buffering address mapping information representing a subset of address mapping information stored in the memory device, which address mapping information includes a mapping of logical address information for identifying data in a requesting host to physical address information for identifying data in the memory device, anda write cache for buffering address mapping information to be written to the memory device.2.
