Patent EP-1891428-B1 (EP)
Inventor: BURAT OLIVIER PIERRE
IPC: G10K11/34

Granted: 2010-08-25
Abstract: A method for non-destructive testing of a drive shaft that is accessible by only one of its ends in longitudinal waves, using a multi-element annular ultrasonic transducer. Such a transducer consists of independent elements that can be excited by electrical pulses of the same frequency, but for which different electronic phase shifts will be applied, in the invention, to the pulses transmitted to the elements. Such an electronic phase shift allows the focussing or deflection of a final beam synthesized by all the elements constituting the transducer, the said final beam being concentrated to adopt a generally cylindrical shape with a cross-section that is far smaller than the cross-section of the shaft to be tested and is highly energetic over a long distance due to the waveguide effect created by the cylindrical geometry of the shaft.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory device and programming process is described that increases the programming voltage of successive programming cycles in relation to the percentage of the data bits that failed programming verification during the previous programming cycle and were not correctly programmed into the memory array. This allows for a faster on average program operation and a more accurate match of the subsequent increase in the programming voltage to the non-volatile memory device, the specific region or row being programmed and any changes due to device wear. In one embodiment of the present invention the manufacturing process/design and/or specific memory device is characterized by generating a failed bit percentage to programming voltage increase profile to set the desired programming voltage delta/increase. In another embodiment of the present invention, methods and apparatus are related for the programming of data into non-volatile memory devices and, in particular, NAND and NOR architecture Flash memory.

Abstract: A method of forming a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) using a sacrificial cap layer (20) on top of the memory cells (10) and the structure resulting therefrom are described. A plurality of individual magnetic memory devices (10) with cap layers (20) are fabricated on a substrate.

Portions of the first insulator layer are removed at least over the magnetic memory devices (10) and then the cap layers (20) are selectively removed from the magnetic memory devices (10), thus exposing active top surfaces of the magnetic memory devices (10). The top surfaces of the magnetic memory devices (10) are recessed below the top surface of the first insulator layer (22). Top conductors are formed in contact with the active top surfaces of the magnetic memory devices (10). In an illustrated embodiment, spacers (36) are also formed along the sides of the magnetic memory devices (10) before the first insulator layer (20, 22) is deposited.

Abstract: A method for analyzing image identifications to determine whether image identifications identify an entity (e.g., license plate of a vehicle). Identification sets are received from at least one optical character recognition (OCR) engine. Each identification set includes a character string and an associated confidence level. Each character string is derived by the respective OCR engine from an image of the entity. An identification set is received from each OCR engine. The character strings are compared, resulting in identifying all conflicting character strings, wherein any two non-identical character strings are considered to be conflicting. The confidence level in each identification set is analyzed, resulting in determining whether each confidence level exceeds a predefined threshold confidence level. At least one rule is applied to the preceding results to ascertain whether or not the entity has been identified. An indication of whether or not the entity has been identified is stored.
