Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for latency reduction of boot procedures for memory systems are described. A memory system may receive a first command to perform a first reset of one or more components as part of a first phase of a boot procedure of a host system. The memory system may initiate an initialization process of a second phase of the boot procedure upon determining whether the value of a flag has been set from a first value to a second value. Upon completing the initialization process, the flag may be set to the first value. Parameters corresponding to the characteristics of the memory system may be communicated to the host system based on receiving a second command. The memory system may perform a configuration operation of a logical-to-physical mapping concurrently with communicating the parameters with the host system.

Abstract: A BOPP multilayer film having at least three layers made from or containing a nucleated propylene polymer composition having: A) from 77 wt % to 91 wt %, of a propylene homopolymer having a fraction insoluble in xylene at 25° C. higher than 95%; B) from 9 wt % to 23 wt %, of a copolymer of propylene with from 28.0 wt % to 42.0 wt % of ethylene derived units; and C) a nucleating agent selected from aromatic or aliphatic carboxylic acids, aromatic metal phosphates, sorbitol derivatives and talc, wherein the composition has an intrinsic viscosity (IV) of the fraction soluble in xylene at 25° C. between 1.0 dl/g and 1.9 dl/g, a fraction soluble (Xs) in xylene at 25° C. between 9.0 wt % and 21.0 wt %, a total melt flow rate (MFR) between 1.5 and 5 g/10 min and the value of the relation (I): 22.5+0.2*MFR?1.2*Xs+0.2*IV??(I) higher than 5.9.

Abstract: Radar proximity fuse (1) adapted to receive an echo radar signal (s_rx) produced by the reflection on a target (T) of a transmitted radar signal (s_tx), the transmitted signal (s_tx) comprising a sequence of M impulses coded with a phase code (p_cd). The radar proximity fuse (1) comprising: a radiofrequency analog receiving front end (15) for receiving the echo radar signal (s_rx), adapted to provide in output a baseband signal starting from the echo radar signal (s_rx) received; an analog to digital converter (12) positioned at the output of the analog receiving front end (15) adapted to sample the baseband signal to obtain in output a sequence of digital samples (d_rx); a digital processing block (20) comprising a plurality of digital processing channels (C1, C2, . . . CN) each associated to a respective range gate and each adapted to receive in input said sequence of digital samples (d_rx).
