  • Publication number: 20240071483
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for correcting drift accumulation in memory cells. In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a memory device including: a memory array, the memory array including a set of memory cells; and a memory controller configured to read data from the memory array, the memory controller configured to: sense a first distribution of the set of memory cells, detect a missing cell in the first distribution, increase a voltage on the missing cell causing the missing cell to be read as part of the first distribution, detect that a second memory cell in a second distribution was read while sensing the first distribution, and mask the second memory cell and mark the second memory cell as belonging to the second distribution.

  • Patent number: 10645944
    Abstract: A method for brewing coffee involves providing two separate quantities of coffee particles, wherein only a first quantity of coffee particles is used for an actual process of brewing coffee by causing this quantity to interact with an extracting medium, and wherein another, secondary quantity of coffee particles is heated for enhanced aroma release. The second quantity may be small compared to the first quantity. The two separate quantities of coffee particles may be obtained by first providing a single quantity of coffee particles, for example by grinding a number of coffee beans in a grinding module (20), and then dividing the single quantity into the two quantities. In a device (1) which is suitable for carrying out the method, a dividing arrangement (40) may be applied for realizing a suitable distribution of coffee particles over a brewing chamber (10) and a heating module (30) of the device (1).
