  • Address sequencer within BIST (Built-in-Self-Test) system
    Patent number: 7010736
    Abstract: An address sequencer is fabricated on a semiconductor substrate having flash memory cells fabricated thereon for sequencing through the flash memory cells during BIST (built-in-self-test) of the flash memory cells. The address sequencer includes an address sequencer control logic and address sequencer buffers fabricated on the semiconductor substrate. The address sequencer buffers generate a plurality of bits indicating an address of the flash memory cells. The address sequencer control logic controls the buffers to sequence through a respective sequence of bit patterns for each of a plurality of BIST modes.

  • Mixed mode multi-level indicator
    Patent number: 6535419
    Abstract: A memory device having a plurality of memory cells that are group into at least two group of cells. Each cell is capable of being programmed in at least two modes. A mode indicator is associated with each group of cells. The mode indicator indicates which programming mode is used to access the cells. The mode indicator is one or more bits and optionally is user selectable.

  • Warp knit upholstery fabrics
    Patent number: 4067209
    Abstract: An upholstery fabric, suitable for providing the sole body-supporting surface in a seat construction with a lightweight, for example tubular, frame, comprises a rigid, knitted base fabric and, interengaged therewith, a fabric surface formed from textile yarns having flame retardant properties. The fabric is preferably warp knitted and the base fabric has a rigid net structure. A decorative surface yarn is preferably interlaced at every course with the base fabric.
