  • Patent number: 10217518
    Abstract: A memory device and associated techniques for reducing read disturb of memory cells during a sensing process. The drain-end select gate transistors of unselected sub-blocks are made temporarily conductive for a time period during the ramp up of the unselected word line voltages to reduce the amount of capacitive coupling up of the respective memory string channel. This reduces a channel gradient which can exist in the memory string channels, thereby also reducing the read disturb. Further, the time period is greater when the selected word line is in a source-end or midrange subset of the word lines than when the selected word line is in a drain-end subset of the word lines. Another option involves omitting the injection disturb countermeasure, or providing a less severe injection disturb countermeasure, when the unselected sub-blocks are unprogrammed.

  • Patent number: 10212957
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention is a method for preparing an oil-dispersible carotenoid preparation, comprising (by weight parts): mixing 100 parts of carotenoid microcapsule, 100-400 parts of vegetable oil and 0.1-1 part of oil-soluble antioxidant; and grinding the mixture in a colloid mill in a nitro—gen atmosphere and at 10-30° C. to obtain a uniform oil-dispersible carotenoid preparation, wherein the preparation contains 2%-14% carotenoid with an average particle size of up to 0.1-1 ?m, and 100 parts of carotenoid microcapsule contains 10.5-35.8 parts carotenoid, 0.1-1 part of water-soluble antioxidant, and the remainder is a water-soluble colloid. The advantages of the present invention lie in that the oil-dispersible form has a high stability as the surface of the carotenoid particles is still protected with a dense water-soluble colloid, and that an oil-dispersible carotenoid preparation containing carotenoid with a content of up to 2%-14% and an average particle size of only 0.
