  • Patent number: 12153804
    Abstract: Some areas (e.g., boundary wordlines) in a block of memory can be more error prone than others. Typically, errors in these areas are not detected until after the entire block is programmed. Handling such errors then can result in performance penalties and large data relocations. With the embodiments presented herein, a two-stage programming operation is provided. In the first stage, only the error-prone areas of the block are programmed, and a check is made to determine if an error occurred in that programming. In the second stage, the remaining portions of the block are programmed, but that only occurs after it is determined that the error-prone areas have been programmed successfully. Detecting and dealing with errors in the error-prone areas before the entire block is programmed avoid the performance penalties and large data relocations noted above.

  • Patent number: 12155337
    Abstract: A motor braking procedure is controlled for an electric motor that provides a drive torque for a vehicle and is driven electrically by an inverter circuit having a plurality of switching elements via at least two motor connections and has a rotor rotatable at a motor speed. A braking switch position is adopted by the inverter circuit in braking switch position intervals. An open switch position is adopted by the inverter circuit in open switch position intervals. The braking switch position intervals are alternately switched with the open switch position intervals based on a motor speed being less than a limit speed during the motor braking procedure. The rotor, during the electric motor braking procedure, is subject to a speed-dependent braking torque based on the inverter circuit adopting a braking switch position and is subject to a braking torque less than that in the braking switch position or no braking torque based on the inverter circuit adopting an open switch position.

  • Patent number: 12156482
    Abstract: A semiconductor-superconductor hybrid device comprises a semiconductor component and a superconductor component arranged over the semiconductor component. The superconductor component comprises a continuous portion of a superconductor material and a discontinuous portion of a non-ferromagnetic metal. The discontinuous portion is configured to increase the critical field of the superconductor component. It has been found that providing a superconductor component with a discontinuous portion of non-ferromagnetic metal may increase the critical field of the superconductor component, allowing the device to be operated in a stronger magnetic field. Further aspects provide a method of fabricating the device, and the use of a non-ferromagnetic metal to increase the critical field of a superconductor component of a semiconductor-superconductor hybrid device.

  • Patent number: 12156302
    Abstract: A load control device for controlling power delivered from an AC power source to an electrical load may comprise a thyristor, a gate current path, and a control circuit. The control circuit may be configured to control the gate current path to conduct a pulse of gate current through a gate terminal of the thyristor to render the thyristor conductive at a firing time during a half-cycle of the AC power source. The control circuit may operate in a first gate drive mode in which the control circuit renders the gate current path non-conductive after a pulse time period from the firing time. The control circuit may operate in a second gate drive mode in which the control circuit maintains the gate current path conductive after the pulse time period during the half-cycle.
