Patent GB-2502569-A (GB)
Title: Programming of gated phase-change memory cells
Inventor: KREBS DANIEL
IPC: G11C11/56
Filed: 2012-05-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for programming gated phase-change memory cells 1, each with a gate G, source S and drain D, having two or more (s > or = 2) programmable cell-states including an amorphous RESET state and at least one crystalline state. A programming signal is applied between the source S and drain D of a memory cell 1 to program that cell to a desired cell-state. When programming a cell l from a crystalline state to the RESET state, a bias voltage 25 is applied to the gate of that cell to increase the cell resistance, providing an effective RESET current reduction. Cells may be read before programming to obtain an indication of cell-state. In this case, when programming a cell to the RESET state, the bias voltage can be applied only if a crystalline cell-state is indicated on reading. The bias voltage for the gate is set to increase the cell resistance to a value at or near a predetermined value for the crystalline state. When programming a cell to a crystalline state, zero bias is applied to the gate. The method relates to two level (single bit) and multi level (multi state, multi bit ) memory cells. Reading data is also described by applying a read signal between the source and drain of each cell with zero bias voltage applied to the gate of that cell, and making a read measurement to obtain an indication of the cell-state. Apparatus is described to enable the method to be executed. In the crystalline state, if the Fermi level is close to the conduction band, then application of a gate bias voltage G, 25 will move the Fermi level towards the valence band. Conversely if the Fermi level is close to the valence band in the crystalline state then application of the gate bias will move towards the conduction band (figures 4a, 4b).

Title: Golf putting target
Inventor: ROBERTS JONATHAN OWEN
IPC: A63B69/36
Filed: 2014-03-12
Abstract: A flat sheet of material of nominal thickness (2) bears an oblique anamorphic image (3) of an actual or imagined golf hole as its features may appear to a golfer when the said sheet is placed flat on the floor and the image is then viewed at various distances and at an oblique angle to the viewer. The oblique anamorphic image (3) comprises a view of a golf hole (4). Visible parts are a crescent shape (8), which represents the soil or earth into which the golf hole has been cut. The remainder of the hole shape shows the vertical side wall of a white plastic insert cup (6) but not any part of the bottom of an insert cup. Around the image of the hole is the representation of a grass surface (9). A frictional removable, repositionable pad may be placed on top of the image. The use of this target mat device improves the putting skills of the user, as the device correctly simulates the circular shape and appearance of an actual golf hole when used for practice at suitable distances of between about five and ten feet away.
