Abstract: Techniques are provided to reduce neighbor word line interference and charge loss in a multi-pass program operation. In one implementation, the first pass of a multi-pass program operation uses one or more program pulses without performing associated verify tests. The memory cells may be programmed to different intermediate threshold voltage (Vth) distributions in the first program pass. Different bit line voltages can be used to obtain the different intermediate Vth distributions when the single program pulse is applied. In other cases, multiple program pulses are applied without performing verify tests. The intermediate Vth distributions can be provided for the memory cells assigned to the higher data states but not the lower data states, or for memory cells assigned to both the higher and lower data states.
Abstract: Techniques are provided to compensate for neighbor word line interference when programming memory cells connected to a selected word line WLn. Before programming, the assigned data states of WLn and WLn+1 are compared and corresponding compensation data is generated. The compensation data may be stored in latches of sense circuits to modify the verify tests which occur during programming. The compensation can involve adjusting the bit line voltage, word line voltage, sense node discharge period and/or trip voltage. During a verify test, the compensation data can cause a WLn memory cell to complete programming when its threshold voltage is lower than would be the case with no compensation. When the WLn+1 memory cells are subsequently programmed, an upshift in the threshold voltage of the WLn memory cell offsets the compensation.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device consisting of a portable and multi-band UV light device that uses a combination of UVA, UVB, and UVC wavelength band of UV emitters. For detection, UV emitters are energized to a particulate collector that will fluoresce and glow when there is the presence of a wide range of different harmful aerosol droplet particles in the air that may be collected. This instant and positive visual detection with an available audio alarm alert indicates the presence of harmful aerosol droplet particles in the vicinity of this Instant Particulate Detector or IPD device, allowing the user to take immediate and corrective action. The user can also subsequently select disinfection utilizing UVC wavelength light to sterilize the particulate collector and Instant Particulate Detector or IPD device.

Abstract: A removeable band for confining a stack of cutlery pieces. The band can include a body having a first end and a second end. The body being an elongated strip of fiber-based material. A window can be formed through the body, and an adhesive can be disposed at least partially over the window. The adhesive can be configured to adhere a portion of the first end of the body to a portion of the second end of the body when the ends of the body overlap to form a continuous band.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a system for detecting defects in a printed construct includes one or more processors, one or more image sensors, and one or more memory modules. The one or more image sensors are communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. Machine readable instructions are stored on the one or more memory modules that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to collect image data of a three-dimensional printed construct from the one or more image sensors, and detect one or more defects within the image data of the three-dimensional printed construct.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system determines activity features for candidates that match parameters of a search, wherein the activity features include a first amount of time since a most recent visit by a candidate to an online platform used to conduct interaction between the candidate and moderators of opportunities. Next, the system applies a machine learning model to the activity features and candidate features for the candidates to produce a first set of scores between the candidates and the parameters. The system then generates a ranking of the candidates according to the first set of scores. Finally, the system outputs at least a portion of the ranking as search results of the search.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Thirty-nine’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing medium size narrow finger shaped yellow-green berries having medium firm texture with a muscat flavor and which ripen in mid-season. Berries are borne on medium size clusters which are naturally loose and do not require gibberellin applications to thin clusters.
Abstract: A process for producing taurine from alkali ditaurinate or alkali tritaurinate, or their mixture, comprising the conversion of alkali ditaurinate to dialkali ditaurinate or alkali tritaurinate to trialkali tritaurinate, or their mixture, the ammonolysis reaction of ammonia added to a solution of dialkali ditaurinate or trialkali tritaurinate, or their mixture, to yield alkali taurinate, removing excess ammonia from the foregoing and neutralizing alkali taurinates with an acid to form a crystalline suspension of taurine, and recovering taurine by means of solid-liquid separation.
