  • Patent number: 8041865
    Abstract: A memory system includes a number of integrated circuit chips coupled to a bus. Each of the integrated circuit chips has an input/output node coupled to the bus, the input/output node having a programmable on-die termination resistor. The input/output node of one of the integrated circuit chips is accessed via the bus. The programmable on-die termination resistor of each of the integrated circuit chips is independently set to a termination resistance. The termination resistance is determined by a transaction type and which of the plurality memory devices is being accessed, which information can be transmitted over a separate transmission control bus.

  • Publication number: 20100032820
    Abstract: Memory modules, computing systems, and methods of manufacturing memory modules are disclosed. In one embodiment, a memory module includes a substrate having a first side and a second side opposed to the first side. A plurality of pins is disposed on the first side of the substrate. A first plurality of memory chips are arranged in a first chip layer, the first chip layer overlying the second side of the substrate. Electrical contacts of the first plurality of memory chips are electrically coupled to the pins. A second plurality of memory chips is arranged in a second chip layer, the second chip layer overlying the first chip layer. Electrical contacts of the second plurality of memory chips are electrically coupled to the pins.

  • Publication number: 20060249364
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for pyrolytically decomposing carboniferous materials provided with a reactor connected by a carbonization gas conduit to a multiple stage condenser for fractionally recovering pyrolysis oils in a collection container, a central heating element connected to an external heat source, a pre-heating chamber for receiving material after pyrolysis and material prior to pyrolysis for an exchange of heat therebetween, first conveying means for alternatingly moving non-pyrolyzed and pyrolyzed material from the pre-heating chamber into an out of the reactor and second conveying means for moving non-pyrolyzed and pyrolyzed material out of and into the pre-heating chamber. For moving and pyrolyzing the material is preferably retained in basket-like receptacles. The condenser may be connected to the external heat source for utilizing residual carbonization as supplemental heat energy.
