Publication number: 20240104405Abstract: In examples, a schema augmentation system for exploratory research leverages intelligence from a machine learning model to augment such tasks by leveraging intelligence derived from machine learning capabilities. Augmenting tasks include schematization of content, such as information units and groupings of information units. Based on the schematization of such content, semantic proximities for information units are determined. The semantic proximities may be used to identify and present potentially relevant information units, for example to accelerate the exploratory research task at hand. As such, users engaged in consumption of heterogenous content (e.g., across client applications and/or content sources), may receive machine-augmented support to find potential information units.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gonzalo A.

Publication number: 20240102717Abstract: Payload containers containing temperature modulators and coolant containers containing coolant movably coupled inside of an outer container. Temperature modulators contain one or more solutions that directionally freeze when the product container is in contact with the coolant container, exerting force to push thermal conductors apart. When thermal conductors are apart, air flow and thermal conduction from the coolant container to the payload container is reduced, thereby stopping the cooling of the payload container. When the one or more solutions melt, the thermal conductors reconnect, reestablishing the cooling of the payload container. The modulation allows the payload to stay within safe temperature ranges.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: JACE Sciences, LLCInventor: Justin Andrew Fellows

Publication number: 20240105271Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for preventing erase disturb in NAND. Erase voltages are applied to a source line and bit lines associated with selected memory cells, while applying an erase enable voltage to word lines connected to the selected cells. Preventing erase disturb may include raising the channel potential of unselected memory cells to a source line voltage that has a sufficiently low magnitude to not erase the unselected cells given a voltage on word lines connected to the unselected cells. The unselected cells share bit lines with the selected cells and may also share word lines. Preventing erase disturb may also include applying voltages to the select transistors that prevent the erase voltage from passing from the shared bit lines to the channels of the unselected cells. The voltages decrease from the bit lines to the unselected memory cells and may prevent GIDL generation. Current consumption is kept low.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: SanDisk Technologies LLCInventors: Yanli Zhang, James K. Kai, Johann Alsmeier
