Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for determining offsets for memory read operations are described. In response to a threshold quantity of pages failing initial reads but being successfully read using a same reference adjustment during re-reads, the offset responsible for the adjustment may be used as a first-applied offset for subsequent re-reads or a baseline offset for subsequent initial reads. After the initial reads begin using the reference adjustment, if a threshold quantity of pages fail initial reads, the offset used for the initial read may be adjusted to be the offset used to perform the successful re-reads. If an updated offset to use a baseline is not identified, the baseline offset may be cleared so the original reference may again be used without adjustment for initial reads.

Abstract: Disclosed are reactive dyes and preparation methods thereof. The reactive dye may be prepared using heterocyclic primary amine as a diazo component, 4,4?-diamino-2,2?-stilbenedisulfonic acid, s-triazine, or ethylenediamine as a bridging group, and a dimonochlortriazine group as an active group. The color-changing compound is covalently bonded into the fiber chemical structure by nucleophilic substitution reaction between monochlorotriazine and the hydroxyl group in a textile structure, and the size of the conjugated system and the range of electron delocalization of the dye are changed by a reversible isomerization reaction of the hydroxyl group adjacent to the diazo group and the diazo group under different pH regulations. Moreover, the dye has a double color changing structure, which improves the capability of the dye combined with —H/—OH. The pH value range that can cause color changes in the dye is effectively expanded to include weak alkali, weak acid or even neutral conditions.
