Patent number: 11984174Abstract: A configuration setting manager of a memory device receives a request to perform an adjustment operation on a set of configuration setting values for the memory device, where each configuration setting value of the set of configuration setting values is stored in a corresponding configuration register of a set of configuration registers; determines a configuration adjustment definition associated with one or more configuration setting values of the set of configuration setting values; calculates an updated set of configuration setting values by applying a multiplier value to the configuration adjustment definition, wherein the multiplier value is associated with a number of programming operations performed on the memory device; and stores the updated set of configuration setting values in the corresponding configuration registers.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Tawalin Opastrakoon, Renato C. Padilla, Vamsi Pavan Rayaprolu, Sampath K. Ratnam, Michael G. Miller, Gary F. Besinga, Christopher M. Smitchger

Patent number: 11923030Abstract: A system includes a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations including initiating a read operation with respect to a block of the memory device, selecting, based on a set of criteria, a default read offset from a set of read offsets, wherein the set of criteria includes at least one of: a parameter related to trigger rate, or an amount of time that an open block is allowed to remain open to control threshold voltage shift due to storage charge loss, and applying the default read offset to a read operation performed with respect to the block.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Gary F. Besinga, Renato C. Padilla, Tawalin Opastrakoon, Sampath K. Ratnam, Michael G. Miller, Christopher M. Smitchger, Vamsi Pavan Rayaprolu, Ashutosh Malshe

Patent number: 11914504Abstract: Physical experiments can be performed based on automatically-generated testing scripts according to some examples described herein. For example, a system can generate a sample set based on demand data collected from a group of manufacturing locations. The system can also generate a graphical user interface that includes graphical options through which a user can select settings for a testing script to be used in a physical test environment. The system can receive the settings from the user through the graphical user interface. The system can then generate the testing script based on the sample set and the settings, and provide the testing script for use in executing a physical experiment in the physical test environment.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Starbucks CorporationInventors: Rachel J. Espiritusanto, Constance J. Wang, Andrew M. Greenleaf, Christopher M. Miller, Marshall G. Frerichs

Patent number: 7975320Abstract: The invention is directed to protective helmets having vents with a manually operable vent shutter and methods of using same. In one embodiment, a helmet includes an outer shell, an upper liner, a lower liner, and a vent shutter positioned within a space defined by the upper and lower liners. The helmet includes at least one vent formed through the outer shell, upper liner, and lower liner. The helmet further includes an actuator assembly operable to move the vent shutter to open and close the at least one vent. The actuator assembly includes an engagement member, such as a gear. The engagement member engages the vent shutter and effects movement of the vent shutter when rotated relative to the vent shutter about the rotation axis. In another embodiment, the upper liner may be omitted and the vent shutter may be disposed between the interior of the outer shell and the lower liner.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2005Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Smith Optics, Inc.Inventors: David T. Muskovitz, Christopher G. Miller

Patent number: 6732383Abstract: A goggle having at least one side arm. The arms may be used to support the goggle on a wearer's head, and may be pivotally mounted to the goggle frame inward of an outermost portion of the goggle lens(es) or frame. The arms may reinforce the frame, in some cases, to help better retain a lens in the goggle frame. The arms may nest within a groove, cut out or other feature in the goggle frame, e.g., to enhance the aerodynamic performance or aesthetic appearance of the goggle. The arms may closely follow and/or continue a smooth natural contour of the goggle frame, e.g., to make the arms less obtrusive.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2001Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: The Burton CorporationInventors: Stephen P. Cleary, Scott Oliver, Joseph R. McNeal, Christopher G. Miller, Michael J. Roestel

Patent number: 4977898Abstract: An endoscope, especially for transesophageal echocardiography. An encapsulated ultrasonic transducer capsule is provided having a self-contained electro-mechanical sector scanner. A sealed housing is formed which includes axially aligned tubular sections, one of magnetic material and the other of acoustically transparent plastic. A tubular shaft is journalled axially within the housing for limited sector scanning rotation. A magnetic rotor is fixed to the shaft for operation within the magnetic housing section and a transducer element is fixed to the shaft within the other tubular section. Conductor wires for activating the transducer are fixed at one end of the capsule and extend axially through the tubular shaft for connection to the transducer. Position sensing means are incorporated within the capsule. The construction enables the capsule to be highly miniaturized and greatly improved relative to known devices of its type.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 1989Date of Patent: December 18, 1990Assignee: Hoffrel Instruments, Inc.Inventors: Jack Schwarzschild, Russel L. Uphoff, Christopher G. Miller

Patent number: 4674033Abstract: A multiprocessor system consisting of a plurality of slave processors and a master processor each connected by a bus to a common memory. Message transfers are implemented by the master which scans one-byte areas in the common memory-each slave processor only being able to load a pointer to one said one-byte areas.Contention problems are prevented because once a remote processor has loaded information to its one byte area it must pass control of the bus to another processor. The system is fast because the master does not waste time looking at empty memory.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1984Date of Patent: June 16, 1987Assignee: British Telecommunications public limited companyInventor: Christopher G.
