Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for error detection, error correction, and error management by memory devices are described. Programmable thresholds may be configured for a memory device based on a type of data or a location of stored data, among other aspects. For example, a host device may configure a threshold quantity of errors for data at a memory device. When retrieving the data, the memory device may track or count errors in the data and determine whether the threshold has been satisfied. The memory device may transmit (e.g., to the host device) an indication whether the threshold has been satisfied, and the system may perform functions to correct the errors and/or prevent further errors. The memory device may also identify errors in received commands or may identify errors introduced in data after the data was received (e.g., using an error detecting code associated with a command or bus).

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion includes an intake manifold via which a cylinder can be supplied with fresh air, an inlet valve via which, when it is open, the fresh air can flow from the intake pipe into the cylinder, and a variable valve drive by means of which the opening duration or the relative timing of the inlet valve event is variable in relation to a crankshaft position. During a starting of the internal combustion engine, when the intake manifold pressure differs from the intake manifold desired pressure, a filling pilot control of the cylinder is undertaken by the variable valve drive by the fresh air supply being reduced in comparison to the fresh air supply at the intake manifold desired pressure. The disclosure further relates to a control device for an internal combustion engine that enables low-emission operation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for signal path biasing in an electronic system (e.g., a memory system) are described. In one example, a memory device, a host device, or both may be configured to bias a signal path, between an idle state and an information transfer or between an information transfer and an idle state, to an intermediate or mid-bias voltage level, which may reduce signal interference associated with such transitions. In various examples, the described biasing to a voltage, such as a mid-bias voltage, may be associated with an access command or other command for information to be communicated between devices of the electronic system, such as a command for information to be communicated between a memory device and a host device.
