ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,461,820, issued on Nov. 4, was assigned to Micron Technology Inc. (Boise, Idaho).

"Variable-length locked-raid for CXL devices with compression" was invented by Marco Sforzin (Cernusco sul Naviglio, Italy).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In a locked RAID memory system, the present method generates variable-length compressed data in a RAID stripe, which is stored along with the inclusion of a single RAID parity segment (parity strip) for the entire stripe.
