Abstract: Sensing circuits and techniques for NAND memory that can enable improved read disturb on the selected SGS are described herein. In one example, a reverse sensing circuit includes circuitry coupled with a bitline of the string of NAND memory cells to perform a sensing operation. The circuitry charges the bitline of the string of NAND memory cells to a target bitline voltage and applies a voltage to the source line that is higher than the bitline voltage. The sense current flows through the string from the source line to the bitline. The voltage at a sensing node that is indicative of a threshold voltage of a memory cell can then be detected.

It also provides for automatic calibration of hardware components, including calibration of any projector, RGB camera, depth camera and any microphones employed by the technique. The technique provides object manipulation with physical, visual, audio, and hover gestures and interaction between digital objects displayed on the surface and physical objects placed on or above the surface. It can capture and scan the surface in a manner that captures or scans exactly what the user sees, which includes both local and remote objects, drawings, annotations, hands, and so forth.
