  • Publication number: 20240170090
    Abstract: In some implementations, a memory device may determine that a power loss has occurred. The memory device may determine a last written page (LWP) location associated with an LWP of a block of a memory of the memory device. The memory device may determine one of: a word line group (WLG) associated with the LWP location and at least one WLG-dependent offset associated with the WLG, or a partial block (PB) fill ratio associated with the LWP location and at least one PB-fill-ratio-dependent offset associated with the PB fill ratio. The memory device may perform a power loss error detection procedure based on one of the at least one WLG-dependent offset or the at least one PB-fill-ratio offset by applying the one of the at least one WLG-dependent offset or the at least one PB-fill-ratio offset to at least one read reference voltage.

  • Patent number: 8955199
    Abstract: A shoelace fastener includes a main body, a reel, a first elastic member, a rotating member and a spindle. When an operation member of the rotating member is located in a first position, a clutch member engages with the spindle. The rotating member drives the spindle to rotate and the spindle drives the reel to rotate along a first direction. When the operation member is located in a second position, the clutch member is away from the spindle. The first elastic member drives the reel to rotate and the reel drives the spindle to rotate along a second direction. Thereby, the tension of a wire is easy to be controlled. The reel doesn't turn in reverse randomly. As the operation member is raised up, it reminds a user that the reel is not adjusted to rotate unidirectionally yet.
