  • Patent number: 11881275
    Abstract: Systems of screening memory cells of a memory include modulating bitline and/or wordline voltage. In a read operation, the wordline may be overdriven or underdriven with respect to a nominal operating voltage on the wordline. In a write operation, one or both of the bitline and wordline may be overdriven or underdriven with respect to corresponding a nominal operating voltage. Such a system has margin control circuity, which may be in the form of bitline and wordline margin controls, to modulate bitline and wordline voltages, respectively, in the memory cells of the memory array.

  • Patent number: 11874435
    Abstract: Improved methods and apparatus for additive manufacture of an ophthalmic lens, such as a contact lens or intraocular lens. The improvements are directed to repeated application of a monomer according to a pattern of energy transmissibility, such as grayscale image. The method includes intermittent pinning of deposited polymerizable mixture and final cure of the deposited polymerizable mixture. A pattern of multiple defied areas may be manufactured, with each area representing an amount of energy transmissibility associated with that area. Each area may have a light value based upon a scale, such as an 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit scale or other scale. In some embodiments, each area may refer to a smallest single component of a digital image.

  • Publication number: 20230172524
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing an olfaction training program by an online service executing on a server. A first object and an aroma of the first object is transmitted to the client device of a user that presents the first object in a virtual reality environment and disperses the first aroma. In response, the user interacts with the vital reality environment. The user response is transmitted back to the online service. The user response is stored in a database along with the first data and the first aroma. The online service determines a second object and an aroma of the second obj ect based on the user response. The second object and the aroma of the second object is transmitted to the client device.

  • Publication number: 20230173220
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing an olfaction training program by an online service executing on a server using an AR enabled headset. The objects in the vicinity of the users are identified and highlighted. If the objects have an aroma, the objects are used for olfaction tests. The user interacts with the AR environment to select an object in response to detecting an aroma. The user responses is transmitted back to the online service. The online service determines a subsequent object based on the user response. The subsequent object is then highlighted in the AR environment and the user is prompted to take a subsequent olfaction test.

  • Publication number: 20230142063
    Abstract: A high power-density power converter (500) employs a liquid cooling system (200) to cool its transformers (120). In an embodiment, the coils (135) of a transformer (100) are embedded in a heat-conducting solid (epoxy or resin). The resin-embedded coils (135) are in physical/thermal contact with cold plates (160), which are sandwiched between the coils (135) and/or in contact with exterior surfaces of the coils (135). The cold plates (160) may additionally or alternatively be in physical/thermal contact with the transformer core (145). Coolant fluid is pumped through the cold plates (160). In another embodiment, the transformer is (120) is immersed in a coolant fluid (740), such as oil, within a heat management enclosure (710). Cold plates (160) are in physical/thermal contact with the enclosure (710). Coolant liquid (240) pumped through the cold plates (160) conducts heat away from the oil-enclosed transformer (700).
