  • Patent number: 10032978
    Abstract: A magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM) is disclosed. The MRAM device reduces stray magnetic fields generated by magnetic layers of the stack, including a reference layer and magnetic layers of the synthetic antiferromagnetic layer, in a way that reduces their impact on the other layers of the stack, including a free layer and an optional filter layer, which may include a polarizer layer or a precessional spin current magnetic layer. The reduction in stray magnetic fields in the stack increases the electrical and retention performance of the stack by reducing switching asymmetry in the free layer. The reduction in stray magnetic fields also may improve performance of a filter layer, such as a precessional spin current magnetic layer by reducing asymmetry in the dynamic magnetic rotation of that layer.

  • Patent number: 10011013
    Abstract: Example implementations may relate to a cloud service that stores a detection metric corresponding to a maintenance request for a particular component. In particular, the cloud may receive sensor data from various robotic systems each having the particular component. The cloud may then determine, based on the sensor data, performance data for the particular component over time at the various robotic systems. The cloud may also determine various maintenance events for the particular component. Based on the performance data, the cloud may determine that at least one maintenance event occurs at other metrics that are different from the detection metric. Responsively, the cloud may adjust the detection metric based on a difference between the detection metric and the other metrics. The cloud may then detect operation of a particular robotic system at the adjusted detection metric and may responsively request maintenance for the particular component at the particular robotic system.
