Title: Magnonic magnetic random access memory device
Inventor: ABRAHAM DAVID W
IPC: G11C11/14
Filed: 2012-03-21
Abstract: A mechanism is provided for bidirectional writing. A structure includes a reference layer on top of a tunnel barrier, a free layer underneath the tunnel barrier, a metal spacer underneath the free layer, an insulating magnet underneath the metal spacer, and a high resistance layer underneath the insulating layer. The high resistance layer acts as a heater in which the heater heats the insulating magnet to generate spin polarized electrons. A magnetization of the free layer is destabilized by the spin polarized electrons generated from the insulating magnet. A voltage is applied to change the magnetization of the free layer when the magnetization is destabilized. A polarity of the voltage determines when the magnetization of the free layer is parallel and antiparallel to a magnetization of the reference layer.

Title: An integrated level shifting latch circuit and method of operation of such a latch circuit
Inventor: YEUNG GUS
IPC: G11C7/10
Filed: 2014-02-14
Abstract: Integrated, level shifting latch circuit, and method of operation, whereby a latch circuit receives an input signal in a first voltage domain and generates an output signal, in a second voltage domain. The latch includes data retention (storage) circuitry (P3, P4, N4, N5) such as a pair of back to back inverters, which operate in the second voltage domain (VDCC). The latch is configured to operate in a transparent (see through) phase (fig 4A) where a data value is subjected to a level shifting function and written into the data retention circuitry; and a latching phase where the previously written data is retained (stored). Control circuitry is configured to receive a clock signal (CK, CKB) and to control the data retention circuitry to operate in the transparent phase during a first phase of the clock signal and to operate in the latching phase during a second phase of the clock signal by means of devices N0, N3 and P5-P7. Writing circuitry (N1, N2) is configured during the transparent phase to write the data value into the data retention circuitry by controlling a voltage of at least one internal node of the data retention circuitry. Also contention mitigation circuitry (P1, P2) is configured to receive the input signal during the transparent phase to reduce a voltage drop across one or more component in the data retention circuitry, thus assisting the writing process and enabling an area and power efficient device. The level shifting latch can be applied in the interface circuits between the control logic and SRAM array cells within embedded SRAM memory ICs.

IPC: F25D19/00
Filed: 2013-10-28
Abstract: This refrigeration cycle device has a heat-source unit, a cooling unit, a first connecting tube, and a second connecting tube. The heat-source unit has a compressor for compressing coolant, a high-pressure-side heat exchanger for cooling the coolant from the compressor, and a principal depressurization device for depressurizing the coolant from the high-pressure-side heat exchanger. The cooling unit has a low-pressure-side heat exchanger for vaporizing the coolant. The first connecting tube guides the coolant conveyed from the principal depressurization device to the low-pressure-side heat exchanger to the interval between the heat-source unit and the cooling unit. The second connecting tube guides the coolant conveyed from the low-pressure-side heat exchanger to the compressor to the interval between the heat-source unit and the cooling unit. The principal depressurization device depressurizes the coolant in a manner such that the coolant inside the first connecting tube enters a gas-liquid two-phase state. The first connecting tube creates a coolant pressure loss in a range in which the saturation temperature of the coolant in the low-pressure-side heat exchanger does not fall below the use vaporization temperature of the low-pressure-side heat exchanger.
