Patent number: 11975369Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for separating an amount of a substance from groundwater, comprising an elongate chamber (18) having an inlet (22) which is arranged in use to admit groundwater into the chamber near a lower first end (24). There is also a gas sparger (26) located near the first end (24) which admits gas into the chamber for inducing groundwater to flow from the first end (24) of the chamber toward a second end upper end, and for producing a froth layer (32) which rises above an interface with the groundwater including a concentrated amount of the substance. A suction hood (38) can be moved downward from the top of the chamber (18) into a position to collapse the froth layer (32) and to cause it to be removed from the well body (14). The suction hood (38) (acting as a froth depth regulation device) controls the amount of groundwater in the froth layer (32), which influences the concentration of the contaminant substance achieved in the froth layer (32).Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: OPEC Remediation Technologies Pty LimitedInventors: Steven Edward Phillips, Gregory Raymond Brickle, David John Burns

Publication number: 20240138665Abstract: An imaging system, optionally an intra-oral camera, includes a blue light source and a barrier filter over a camera sensor. Optionally, the imaging system can also take white light images. Optionally, the system includes positively charged nanoparticles with fluorescein. The fluorescent nanoparticles can be identified on an image of a tooth by machine vision or machine learning algorithms on a pixel level basis. Either white light or fluorescent images can be used, with machine learning or artificial intelligence algorithms, to score the lesions. However, the white light image is not useful for determining whether lesions, particularly ICDAS 0-2 lesions, are active or inactive. A fluorescent image, with the fluorescent nanoparticles, can be used to detect and score active lesions. Optionally using a white light image and a fluorescent image together allows for all lesions, active and inactive, to be located and scored, and for their activity to be determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Kai Alexander JONES, Nathan A. JONES, Steven BLOEMBERGEN, Scott Raymond PUNDSACK, Yu Cheng LIN, Helmut NEHER, JR.

Patent number: 11960438Abstract: A stacked processor-plus-memory device includes a processing die with an array of processing elements of an artificial neural network. Each processing element multiplies a first operand—e.g. a weight—by a second operand to produce a partial result to a subsequent processing element. To prepare for these computations, a sequencer loads the weights into the processing elements as a sequence of operands that step through the processing elements, each operand stored in the corresponding processing element. The operands can be sequenced directly from memory to the processing elements or can be stored first in cache. The processing elements include streaming logic that disregards interruptions in the stream of operands.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Rambus Inc.Inventors: Steven C. Woo, Michael Raymond Miller

Publication number: 20240119989Abstract: Row hammer is mitigated by issuing, to a memory device, mitigation operation (MOP) commands in order to cause the refresh of rows at a specified vicinity of a suspected aggressor row. These mitigation operation commands are each associated with respective row addresses that indicate the suspected aggressor row and an indicator of which neighbor row in the vicinity of the suspected aggressor row is to be refreshed. The mitigation operation commands are issued in response to a fixed number of activate commands. The suspected aggressor row is selected by randomly choosing, with equal probability, one of the N previous activate commands to supply its associated row address as the suspected aggressor row address. The neighbor row may be selected randomly with a probability that diminishes inversely with the distance between the suspected aggressor row and the neighbor row.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Steven C. WOO, Michael Raymond MILLER

Patent number: 11934654Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) memory device includes an array of storage cells configured into multiple banks. Interface circuitry receives refresh commands from a host memory controller to refresh the multiple banks for a first refresh mode. On-die refresh control circuitry selectively generates local refresh commands to refresh the multiple banks in cooperation with the host memory controller during a designated hidden refresh interval in a second refresh mode. Mode register circuitry stores a value indicating whether the on-die refresh control circuitry is enabled for use during the second refresh mode. The interface circuitry includes backchannel control circuitry to transmit a corrective action control signal during operation in the second refresh mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Rambus Inc.Inventors: Michael Raymond Miller, Steven C. Woo, Thomas Vogelsang

Publication number: 20240086325Abstract: A high-capacity cache memory is implemented by multiple heterogenous DRAM dies, including a dedicated tag-storage DRAM die architected for low-latency tag-address retrieval and thus rapid hit/miss determination, and one or more capacity-optimized cache-line DRAM dies that render a net cache-line storage capacity orders of magnitude beyond that of state-of-the art SRAM cache implementations. The tag-storage die serves double-duty in some implementations, yielding rapid tag hit/miss determination for cache-line read/write requests while also serving as a high-capacity snoop-filter in a memory-sharing multiprocessor environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Taeksang Song, Michael Raymond Miller, Steven C. Woo

Patent number: 11922066Abstract: An interconnected stack of one or more Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) die has a base logic die and one or more custom logic or processor die. The processor logic die snoops commands sent to and through the stack. In particular, the processor logic die may snoop mode setting commands (e.g., mode register set—MRS commands). At least one mode setting command that is ignored by the DRAM in the stack is used to communicate a command to the processor logic die. In response the processor logic die may prevent commands, addresses, and data from reaching the DRAM die(s). This enables the processor logic die to send commands/addresses and communicate data with the DRAM die(s). While being able to send commands/addresses and communicate data with the DRAM die(s), the processor logic die may execute software using the DRAM die(s) for program and/or data storage and retrieval.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Rambus Inc.Inventors: Thomas Vogelsang, Michael Raymond Miller, Steven C. Woo

Publication number: 20210292559Abstract: A method of additive manufacturing an article in the ZX (upright) orientation utilizes a composition including specific amounts of a polycarbonate-polysiloxane and polysiloxane-treated titanium dioxide particles. Although addition of titanium dioxide particles to a plastic composition typically reduces impact strength, articles additively manufactured from this composition exhibit improved impact strength relative to articles manufactured from a corresponding composition lacking the polysiloxane-treated titanium dioxide particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2020Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Sarah E. Grieshaber, Steven Raymond Klei, Devendra Narayandas Bajaj, Lanti Yang
