  • Publication number: 20240069525
    Abstract: Historical in-process machining information can be used to make machining process parameter recommendations. The disclosed systems and methods enable continuous learning for machining parameter selection using aggregated in-process machining information. The systems and methods save in-process machining data in a database using a standardized format, use data augmentation outlier detection, aggregation, and clustering algorithms to make machining process parameter recommendations and expected cut time predictions based on user inputs. The system can include a front-end dashboard to facilitate visualization and interpret results.

  • Patent number: 11915775
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for bad row mode. The memory may prevent proper access operations (e.g., read operations) from being performed on a selected bad row of the memory as part of a bad row mode. For example, the memory may store a bad row address and when an access address matches the bad row address, may suppress one or more signals, change data read from the address, or combinations thereof. The bad row mode may be used to provide a positive control for post package repair (PPR) operations on the memory. A controller may enter the memory into bad row mode and then test the memory to determine if the selected bad row can be located and repaired via PPR.
