  • Publication number: 20210287501
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are described for creating and operating a vibration triangulation network. The network can include vibration sensor devices placed in a building, such as a store or a house, which are able to pinpoint the location of a target, e.g., person, animal, etc., through triangulation. A described technique includes receiving vibration notifications from vibration sensor devices, determining a location of a target within the building based on at least a portion of the vibration notifications and a vibration sensor map associated with the building, and triggering an alarm event based on a detection of the target.

  • Patent number: 11074989
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are NAND devices, firmware, systems, methods, and devices that apply smart algorithms to process ECC errors by taking advantage of excess overprovisioning. In some examples, when the amount of overprovisioned blocks are above a predetermined threshold, a first ECC block error handling mode may be implemented and when the overprovisioned blocks are equal or less than the predetermined threshold, a second mode of ECC block error handling may be utilized.

  • Patent number: 11049862
    Abstract: A semiconductor device including a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer comprising a doped silicon substrate, a buried oxide layer on the doped silicon substrate, and a silicon device layer on the buried oxide layer. An inner electrode and a node dielectric layer of a capacitor are disposed in a trench of the SOI wafer. The inner electrode and the node dielectric layer penetrate through the buried oxide layer and extend into the doped silicon substrate. At least a select transistor is disposed on the buried oxide layer. The select transistor includes a source doping region and a drain doping region, a channel region between the source doping region and the drain doping region, and a gate over the channel region. At least an embedded contact is disposed atop the capacitor to electrically couple the drain doping region of the select transistor with the inner electrode of the capacitor.

  • Publication number: 20200407433
    Abstract: This application provides isolated antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that specifically bind Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP). These anti-CGRP antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, have a high affinity for CGRP, function to inhibit CGRP, are less immunogenic compared to their unmodified parent antibodies in a given species (e.g., a human) and can be used to treat CGRP-associated disorders, while avoiding the adverse side effects associated with the current CGRP antagonist therapies.
