Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for dirty write on power off are described. In an example, the described techniques may include writing memory cells of a device according to one or more parameters (e.g., reset current amplitude), where each memory cell is associated with a storage element storing a value based on a material property associated with the storage element. Additionally, the described techniques may include identifying, after writing the memory cells, an indication of power down for the device and refreshing, before the power down of the device, a portion of the memory cells based on identifying the indication of the power down for the device. In some cases, refreshing includes modifying at least one of the one or more parameters for a write operation for the portion of the memory cells.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory cell selection to enable a memory device to select a targeted memory cell during a write operation are described. The memory device may apply a first pulse to a selected bit line of the targeted memory cell while applying a voltage to deselected word lines to prevent current leakage. If the targeted memory is not selected after the first pulse, the memory device may apply a second pulse to the selected bit line while applying a voltage to the deselected word lines. If the targeted memory cell is not selected following the second pulse, the memory device may apply a third pulse to the selected bit line while applying the voltage to the deselected word lines. The memory device may detect a snapback event after any of the pulses if the targeted memory cell is selected.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide methods and systems for producing wavy shapes, where the lines and/or curves that form the wavy shape are curvy and can appear hand drawn or scribbled. Initially, a shape is separated into one or more individual lines and/or one or more Bezier curves. Each original line is perturbed to produce a wavy line using bounding regions that constrain the amount of waviness produced in the line. Each Bezier curve is transformed into a wavy Bezier curve using bounding regions that constrain the amount of waviness produced in the Bezier curve. Each original line or Bezier curve can be modified to include, for example, one or more curves, one or more loops, a single arc, one or more spikes, and/or regular or irregular waviness.

Abstract: An input mode trigger is detected so that a computing system treats inputs from a touch sensing device as touch inputs. A focus area input mechanism is displayed on the display screen. A hover mode touch input is detected, and a touch input on the touch sensing device is mirrored by corresponding movement of visual indicia on the focus area input mechanism on the display screen. Other touch gestures are used to perform operations within the focus area input mechanism.

Abstract: An input mode trigger is detected so that a computing system treats inputs from a touch sensing device as touch inputs. A focus area input mechanism, which is smaller than a display screen controlled by the computing system, is displayed on the display screen. A maneuver touch input is detected, and the focus area input mechanism is moved, on the display screen, to a new position based upon the maneuver touch input. Other touch gestures are used to perform operations within the focus area input mechanism.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a process for preparing a laminate comprising: providing a dried overlay and a base sheet wherein at least one of the dried overlay and the base sheet comprises a resin-impregnated, opaque, cellulose pulp-based sheet; applying a fluorourethane to the dried overlay to form a treated overlay; drying the treated overlay; and laminating the treated overlay to the base sheet. The disclosed process hereby produces a laminate whose outer surface is modified with the fluorourethane and the cleanability, oil repellency, and abrasion resistance of such a laminate is improved.

Abstract: A method and a system for supporting media types adapted for a portable media playback apparatus is provided. The method includes: providing a media type transfer program in the portable media playback apparatus; executing the media type transfer program when the portable media playback apparatus is linked to a media provider; transferring the type of the specific medium to a type supported by the portable apparatus through the media type transfer program when the media provider receives an instruction which indicates the media provider to store a specific medium into the portable media playback apparatus, and the portable apparatus does not support the type of the specific medium; and storing the transferred specific medium into the portable media playback apparatus.
