Abstract: A DRAM memory includes: a substrate; a plurality of memory banks arranged in rows and columns on the substrate, each memory bank is divided into three memory blocks in the column direction. Each memory block has a number of memory cells arranged in rows and columns. Dividing each memory bank into three memory blocks in the column direction shortens the length of the memory bank in the row direction, as each memory bank has a certain capacity, so a large drive is no longer required. In addition, the distance from the control circuit and the data transmission circuit to the corresponding memory cell in the memory array in each memory bank will be shorter too, reducing parasitic resistance and parasitic capacitance generated from the data transmission circuit. As a result, the data transmission rate and data transmission accuracy are improved. The overall power consumption is reduced.

In some examples, a first noise vector may be determined based at least in part on the sensitivity data. A first modified vector representation may be generated by adding the first noise vector to the first vector representation. A second word may be determined based at least in part on the first modified vector representation. Modified first data may be generated by replacing the first word with the second word.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and related methods for multi-bounce material property detection and signal amplification are provided. The apparatus has a first acoustic transducer positioned on an exterior sidewall of a pipe or container carrying or holding a quantity of fluid therein. An acoustic signal is transmitted by the first acoustic transducer into the sidewall of the pipe from an exterior surface thereof. With material detection, at least a portion of the acoustic signal reflects off an interior surface of the sidewall of the pipe. The reflected acoustic signal is received at the second acoustic transducer on the exterior sidewall of the pipe. The reflected acoustic signal provides an indication of a material property of the pipe or a material within the pipe. With signal amplification, the second acoustic transducer transmits a phase synchronized second acoustic signal to the first acoustic signal, where the second acoustic signal amplifies the first acoustic signal.
