Patent number: 11925126Abstract: Technologies for tuning a resistance of tunnel junctions such as Josephson junctions are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a Josephson junction is heated to 85 Celsius, and an electric field is applied to the Josephson junction. The heat and the electric field cause the resistance of the Josephson junction to increase. Monitoring the Josephson junction during the application of the electric field allows for the resistance of the Josephson junction to be adjusted to a particular value.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOInventors: David Schuster, Andrew Oriani, Larry Chen

Patent number: 11922195Abstract: Some embodiments support embedding of a notebooks software component in a surrounding host application, thereby promoting consistency of notebook user interfaces and user experiences between different kinds of applications. For instance, the notebook access added to an integrated development environment (IDE) may be aesthetically consistent with the notebook access added to a business analytics tool from the same vendor as the IDE. Departures from the aesthetic are still supported, e.g., a notebook access provided in a video gaming environment to teach gamers programming skills may have the same aesthetic as the simulated world of the video game, rather than an IDE aesthetic or an enterprise software aesthetic. Direct integration or proxied integration architectures may be used. Efficiencies may be gained by distinguishing between notebook viewing, editing, and executing operations, and providing more computationally expensive resources only as needed for the notebook access being performed.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: John Francis Lam, Safia Abdalla, Shibani Raj Basava, Dinesh Chandnani, Zhu Chen, Kwangje Cho, Ram Kumar Donthula, Katherine Kampf, Daniel Moth, Andrew Christopher Neil, Vaishnavi Sannidhanam, Barry Manh Tu, Vijaya Krishna Upadya, Dileep Yavanmandha

Publication number: 20240070017Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a memory and a controller are provided. The controller may determine to perform garbage collection on a superblock. During the garbage collection process, the controller will typically move the superblock into an erase pool for erasing the superblock. However, aspects of the disclosure are directed to a method of measuring a raw bit error rate (RBER) of the superblock prior to erasure. The measured RBER may be used to estimate a data retention time of the storage device and provide the customer with an early warning notification if a health metric of the storage devices reaches a threshold retention time.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Lisha WANG, Jinyoung KIM, Andrew Yu-Jen WANG, Jinghuan CHEN, Kroum STOEV
