Title: Substrate for lithium thin film battery
Inventor: LANGE MARTIN
IPC: H01M4/66
Filed: 2008-02-12
Abstract: When attempting to make a lithium ion-switching device such as a high-efficiency, all-solid state, thin film battery the choice of carrier substrate is all important. As such a substrate must withstand a high temperature under an oxidising atmosphere to crystallise certain layers making up the device, the substrate should not oxidise thereby ruling out most metals. The invention now describes a class of ternary alloys of which the oxidation rate is limited and that are useable to produce thin film batteries on. At least one element with a high affinity to oxygen (Al, Mg, Zn or Si) is present in the alloy. The other two metallic elements reduce the growth of the oxide of this first element. In addition the thus formed oxide scale turns out to be an effective barrier to lithium. Surprisingly, the scale shows nanoscopic voids that allow for sufficient electrical contact with the device layers, thereby eliminating the need for a separate current collector. As the ternary alloy can be made in a flexible foil, it can advantageously be used in a roll-to-roll process.

IPC: G11C29/00
Filed: 2010-07-26
Abstract: A redundancy scheme for Non-Volatile Memories (NVM) is described. This redundancy scheme provides means for using defective cells in non-volatile memories to increase yield. The algorithm is based on inverting the program data for data being programmed to a cell grouping when a defective cell is detected in the cell grouping.  Defective cells are biased to either "1" or "0" logic states, which are effectively preset to store its biased logic state. A data bit to be stored in a defective cell having a logic state that is complementary to the biased logic state of the cell results in the program data being inverted and programmed. An inversion status bit is programmed to indicate the inverted status of the programmed data. During read out, the inversion status bit causes the stored data to be re--inverted into its original program data states

Filed: 2009-04-22
Abstract: Local IP access is provided in a wireless network to facilitate access to one or more local services. In some implementations, different IP interfaces are used for accessing different services (e.g., local services and operator network services). A list that maps packet destinations to IP interfaces may be employed to determine which IP interface is to be used for sending a given packet. In some implementations an access point provides a proxy function (e.g., a proxy ARP function) for an access terminal. In some implementations an access point provides an agent function (e.g., a DHCP function) for an access terminal. NAT operations may be performed at an access point to enable the access terminal to access local services. In some aspects, an access point may determine whether to send a packet from an access terminal via a protocol tunnel based on the destination of the packet.
