Publication number: 20240145010Abstract: A processing device in a memory sub-system initiates a partial block handling protocol for a closed block of a memory device, the block comprising a plurality of wordlines. The processing device further sends a first programming command to the memory device to program one or more wordlines of the block with first padding data having a first data pattern, wherein the one or more wordlines are adjacent to a last wordline of the block programmed before the block was closed. In addition, the processing device sends a second programming command to the memory device to program all of a set of remaining wordlines of the block with second padding data having a second data pattern comprising fewer bits of data per cell than the first data pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Zhongguang Xu, Nicola Ciocchini, Zhenlei Shen, Charles See Yeung Kwong, Murong Lang, Ugo Russo, Niccolo' Righetti

Publication number: 20240133911Abstract: A fluid injector system includes at least one injector for pressurizing and delivering at least one fluid from at least one fluid reservoir, at least one fluid path section in fluid communication with the at least one injector and having a predetermined index of refraction, and a first proximal sensor and a first distal sensor arranged along the at least one fluid path section. Each of the first proximal sensor and the first distal sensor includes an emitter configured to emit light through the at least one fluid path section, and a detector configured to receive the light emitted through the at least one fluid path section and generate an electrical signal based on the received light. The fluid injector system further includes at least one processor programmed or configured to determine, based on a difference in the electrical signals generated by the first proximal sensor and the first distal sensor, at least one property of a content of the at least one fluid path section.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: William Barone, Ronald Brown, Curtis Pastor, Michael Swantner, Christopher Capone, Jaroslaw Wlodarczyk, Charles Lang

Publication number: 20220305196Abstract: An injector system for injecting fluid includes a syringe and an injector. The syringe includes a body and a plunger movably disposed within the body. The plunger has at least one flexible leg extending toward the rearward end of the body. The injector has a housing with a front plate, a drive member at least partially disposed within the housing and operable to engage the plunger, and a syringe release assembly operable to release the syringe. The syringe assembly includes a syringe release gear that forms an enclosure for receiving the syringe when the syringe is fully seated within the housing and a plunger release tube surrounding at least a portion of the drive member. The plunger release tube has a first end rotationally engaged with the syringe release gear. Rotation of the syringe release assembly releases the at least one flexible leg from the drive member.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: Charles Lang, Christopher Swenglish, Luis Castillo, Stephen Schulte

Patent number: 11114077Abstract: The present invention is a chromatic-emphasis hybrid-diatonic leverless keyboard configured to provide an extension, duplication, or representation of both heptatonic and pentatonic keys on the leverless keyboard. The extension enables the user to shift the physiological center of gravity for the keyboard to the area where pentatonic and heptatonic keys share space and are more isomorphic, thus assisting in gaining and applying understanding of the chromatic equality of the twelve tonalities in standard equal temperament, and in gaining and applying understanding of the one-dimensional nature of music.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Inventor: Charles Lang
