  • Patent number: 10968296
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of low levels of aliphatic primary and secondary amines to control air void formation in any polymerization reaction having carbonyl groups, and especially carboxylic acid ester group-containing monomers at a level of at least 10% of total monomer, where the monomer has a peak polymerization exotherm temperature of greater than the boiling point of the monomer. The primary or secondary amines are used in the polymerization mixture at levels of 100 to 5000 ppm, based on the carboxylic acid ester group-containing monomer. It is believed the primary and secondary amines hydrogen bond with the —C?O)O— containing monomer to increase the monomer boiling point, and decrease or even eliminate the formation of air voids due to monomer boiling. The invention is especially useful in polymerization of methymethacrylate polymers and copolymers, either neat, or as a polymer composite system.

  • Publication number: 20200159465
    Abstract: A data storage device includes a non-volatile memory and a controller coupled to the non-volatile memory. The controller is operable to measure a first threshold voltage (Vt) of a memory cell under a first parameter at a read temperature and measure a second Vt of the memory cell under a second parameter at the read temperature in which the first parameter is different from the second parameter. A Vt correction term for the memory cell is determined based upon the first Vt measurement and the second Vt measurement. A read Vt of the memory cell is adjusted by using the Vt correction term.

One such polymerization is the bulk polymerization of one or more monomers having carboxylic acid ester monomers, at a level of at least 10% of total monomer. The aliphatic short-chain saturated esters are used in the polymerization mixture at levels of 0.5 to 10 weight percent, based on the carboxyl-containing monomer.

  • Publication number: 20190330446
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of low levels of glycols and short chain diols to control air void formation in any polymerization reaction having carbonyl-containing monomers, and preferably carboxylic acid ester monomers, at a level of at least 10% of total monomer, where the monomer has a peak polymerization exotherm temperature of greater than the boiling point of the monomer. The glycols and short chain diols are used in the polymization mixture at levels of 0.5 to 10 weight percent, based on the carboxylic acid ester-containing monomer. It is believed the glycols and short chain diols hydrogen bond with the —(C?O)O— containing monomer to increase the monomer boiling point, and decrease or even eliminate the formation of air voids due to monomer boiling. The invention is especially useful in polymerization of methyl methacrylate polymers and copolymers, either neat, or as a polymer composite system.

  • Patent number: 10249382
    Abstract: Techniques are described for determining whether a non-volatile memory device is defective due to a word line that programs too fast, leading to an uncorrectable amount of data errors when programing data to the word line. In one set of examples, a set of memory cells are programmed by a series of voltage pulses applied along a word line without locking out the set of memory cells. A verify operation is then performed to see if the number of memory cells programmed above the verify level is too large and, if so, an error status is returned. In other examples, a lower limit on the number of voltage pulses needed to complete programming is introduced, and if the programming completes in less than this number of voltage pulses, an error status returned. A lower limit on the number of voltage pulses can be on a state by state basis or for all data states to complete.
