Abstract: Technology for limiting a voltage difference between two selected conductive lines in a cross-point array when using a forced current approach is disclosed. In one aspect, the selected word line voltage is clamped to a voltage limit while driving an access current through a region of the selected word line and through a region of the selected bit line. The access current flows through the memory cell to allow a sufficient voltage to successfully read or write the memory cell, while not placing undue stress on the memory cell. In some aspects, the maximum voltage that is permitted on the selected word line depends on the location of the selected memory cell in the cross-point memory array. This allows memory cells for which there is a larger IR drop to receive an adequate voltage, while not over-stressing memory cells for which there is a smaller IR drop.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for entities in a 5G or 6G wireless network to indicate their geographical location to other entities. A base station can inform the user devices of its antenna location so that the users can direct beams toward the antenna. Mobile users can update their location information to the base station so that the base station can direct beams toward the mobile users in real-time. For example, the base station can embed the latitude and longitude of the base station antenna in a system information message, such as an unallocated portion of the SSB (synchronization signal block) which is periodically broadcast, and the users can transmit location-update messages to the base station using disclosed formats. By directing transmission beams and reception beams toward each other, base stations and users can obtain substantially improved reception with reduced background generation and reduced energy consumption.

Abstract: A method of checking belt tension of a belt extending between pulleys includes providing a reference indicator defining a reference position relative to the upper surface of the belt in an undeflected state. A force/probe assembly is provided and is operable to measure a force applied to the distal end. The distal end is positioned on the upper surface of the belt and a force is applied generally perpendicular thereto. The belt may be deflected a predetermined distance, as determined by a change in position of the assembly relative to the reference indicator, and the force is measured, or a force is applied until the force is equal to a predetermined force, and the deflection of the belt is determined by a change in position of the force/probe assembly. The belt tension is determined based on the force and distance during the deflecting step.
