Patent EP-1332500-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KHALID SHAHZAD B
IPC: G11C29/04
Filed: 2001-09-25
Abstract: The present invention presents several techniques for using writable tracking cells. Multiple tracking cells are provided for each write block of the memory. These cells are re-programmed each time the user cells of the associated write block are written, preferably at the same time, using the same fixed, global reference levels to set the tracking and user cell programmed thresholds. The threshold voltages of the tracking cells are read every time the user cells are read, and these thresholds are used to determine the stored logic levels of the user cells. In one set of embodiments, populations of one or more tracking cells are associated with different logic levels of a multi-state memory. These tracking cell populations may be provided for only a subset of the logic levels. The read points for translating the threshold voltages are derived for all of the logic levels based upon this subset. In one embodiment, two populations each consisting of multiple tracking cells are associated with two logic levels of the multi-bit cell. In an analog implementation, the user cells are read directly using the analog threshold values of the tracking cell populations without their first being translated to digital values. A set of alternate embodiments provide for using different voltages and/or timing for the writing of tracking cells to provide less uncertainty in the tracking cells' final written thresholds.

Abstract: A personal digital assistant (PDA), wireless telephone, portable computer or other user device obtains and stores a vendor identifier associated with a particular physical vendor location designated as being of interest by a user of the device. For example, the vendor identifier may be obtained by the user device via a wireless communication link established with a system at the physical vendor location, in response to entry of a bookmark command by the user. The stored vendor identifier serves as a bookmark for the corresponding vendor location, and is subsequently utilized by the user device to retrieve or otherwise obtain updated vendor information periodically for the particular vendor location, such that the latest information regarding the bookmarked vendor location is made available to the user via the user device.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is disclosed that includes blocks (101-104) having normal
cell arrays and redundant cell arrays. An R/N switchover setting circuit (140) includes, in
one embodiment, a plurality of normally conducting transistors arranged in series. A
redundancy determination circuit (120) receives an address and determines whether or not a
redundancy cell array is to be used. When a redundancy cell array is to be used, the
redundancy determination circuit (120) outputs not only an active YPR signal, but also the
current column-wise position of the defective cell array. The position information is applied
to the switchover setting circuit (140) through a redundancy position decoder (130). The
switchover setting circuit (140) generates switching signals DSW based on the received
column positions, and outputs the signals to the R/N switching circuit (150). The switching
circuit (150) switches and connects, on the basis of the received signals, the I/O lines of an
input/output section to selected normal cell arrays and a redundant cell array, bypassing the
defective cell array.

Abstract: Inertia acceleration and the active components of the earths magnetic field in the radial direction relative to the roll axis of the flying object are measured from the ground over a given trajectory path for the object. The measurements are recorded with a time stamp and processed to provide data which gives the ground-related position, speed and acceleration, as well as the flying object-related Euler angle, kinematic starting angle, acceleration and rotation rate. The known direction of the earths magnetic field in the flight region is projected onto the roll plane for the object in order to carry out the data processing. Independent claims are also included for (a) a first device used to carry out this method, comprising at least three on-board acceleration sensors, preferably orthogonal to each other and only one magnetic field sensor with the measuring axis extending in a radial direction relative to the object roll axis, and (b) a second device similar to the first one, except that there are two magnetic field sensors, preferably orthogonal to each other.

Abstract: A cooling effect is produced by collision of coolant
(10) introduced into coolant introduction chamber (3) with
the back face side of heat-generating elements (1) within a
first coolant contact chamber (4) by injection from a
central nozzle (7). Thereafter in the same way coolant (10)

chamber (5) and third coolant contact chamber (6). Since
peripheral nozzles (8) and (9) are formed so as to spread
in radial fashion about central nozzle (7) as center,
cooling is effected to practically the same level of
temperature, so there is no possibility of large tensile
heat stress being generated at heat-generating elements (1).
