text: IntelliProp is a Colorado-based company founded in 1998 to provide ASIC design and verification services for the storage industry. The company is headquartered in Longmont, Colorado, strategically placed in the heart of an area dominated by major storage manufacturers. The primary focus of IntelliProp is to provide storage IP and products. Capitalizing on the 50+ years of combined storage expertise of IntelliProp's engineers, IntelliProp provides a wide-range of industry-proven storage products and interface cores. Our customers are provided with the flexibility of integrating our products into a multitude of FPGA families, along with using our engineers' extensive design and verification experience to create their own ASICs. IntelliProp continues to gain recognition as a leading expert in the storage industry, and actively participates in committees for creating new and maintaining existing storage protocols.
  March 2011:- as you know my main interest is in trying to work out where companies fit in the SSD market and the long term transition to solid state storage.
  Hiren R. Patel the founder of IntelliProp told me - "I don't think we fit into the category of SSD manufacturers, nor do we fit into SSD controllers, but we offer a SATA to SATA RAID (level 0, striping) bridge."
  This bridge allows SSD manufacturers to connect several smaller SSDs (250GB, for example) into a larger drive (like 1 or 2 TB SSD drive). It makes 2, 4 or 8 drives look and feel like one single SSD drive. Another benefit is the increased performance and since we are 6GHz SATA compliant, we saturate the interface throughput. Some of our customers are already listed as SSD manufacturers on your website. We plan to have a SAS RAID bridge available soon as well."
  IntelliProp's Gen-Z IPA-PM185-CT "COBRA" controller combines DRAM and NAND and sits on the Gen-Z fabric, not the memory bus. COBRA has the ability to support byte addressability to DRAM cache and Block addressability to NAND flash. COBRA-based Gen-Z memory modules provide low latency, persistent, shared memory access to multiple processors and accelerators on the Gen-Z fabric supporting up to 32GB of DRAM and 3TB of NAND.
  IntelliProp's IPC-NV164-HI for for Xilinx and Altera FPGAs accelerates performance by off-loading command and completion queue management from the processor to hardware.
  Hillsborough County, Fla. (April 24, 2017) - Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, the City of Tampa, and the City of St. Petersburg have partnered to launch a regional campaign to teach Tampa Bay residents about a universal problem - plastic bags in recycling. The regional multimedia public education campaign features a new bay-spanning video and co-branded webpage, TampaBayRecycles.org, which will provide correct recycling information and encourage residents to keep recycling bag-free, no matter where they are in the Tampa Bay area.
  Plastic bags and bagged recyclables aren't recycled because they can't be efficiently sorted by recycling equipment. Plastic bags also tangle in the sorting equipment, which causes equipment damage, creates health and safety hazards for workers, reduces the amount of recyclables that can be recovered, and increases the cost of the recycling process. All recyclables should be placed in recycling carts and municipal drop-off containers loosely, not bagged.
  Utilizing reusable bags is more eco-friendly than using disposable plastic bags when shopping. Plastic bags can be reused for other purposes around the house, recycled at participating retailers, or disposed of in garbage carts. All four jurisdictions participating in the regional recycling effort use Waste-to-Energy facilities for trash disposal, turning garbage into renewable electricity.
  This partnership marks the first time Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, the City of Tampa, and the City of St. Petersburg have worked together on a single regional recycling campaign. For additional information, visit TampaBayRecycles.org or HCFLGov.net/Recycling.
  Congratulations to Rachel and Amelia from Ms.Rooney's 2 Class who were both prize winners at this year's South Dublin Credit Union Art Competition. The theme this year was 'A Force of Nature' and our girls captured this beautifully! pic.twitter.com/BAYFPfOR9e
