  • Patent number: 12004601
    Abstract: An article of footwear includes a sole structure, an upper, a slotted eyelet, an opening, and a tensile strand. The upper is coupled to the sole structure and has a medial portion and a lateral portion. The slotted eyelet is formed in the medial portion or the lateral portion and has a major axis and a minor axis. A length of the slotted eyelet along the major axis is larger than a width of the slotted eyelet along the minor axis. The opening is formed in the medial portion or the lateral portion, and the opening is spaced apart from the slotted eyelet. The tensile strand has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion extends through the opening and defines an aperture adjacent the slotted eyelet, and the second portion extends from the first portion toward the sole structure.

  • Publication number: 20230393770
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for memory device security and row hammer mitigation are described. A control mechanism may be implemented in a front-end and/or a back-end of a memory sub-system to refresh rows of the memory. A row activation command having a row address at control circuitry of a memory sub-system and incrementing a first count of a row counter corresponding to the row address stored in a content addressable memory (CAM) of the memory sub-system may be received. Control circuitry may determine whether the first count is greater than a row hammer threshold (RHT) minus a second count of a CAM decrease counter (CDC); the second count may be incremented each time the CAM is full. A refresh command to the row address may be issued when a determination is made that the first count is greater than the RHT minus the second count.

  • Patent number: 11755515
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for a translation device that is configured to enable communication between a host device and a memory technology using different communication protocols (e.g., a communication protocol that is not preconfigured in the host device) is described herein. The translation device may be configured to receive signals from the host device using a first communication protocol and transmit signals to the memory device using a second communication protocol, or vice-versa. When converting signals between different communication protocols, the translation device may be configured to convert commands, map memory addresses to new addresses, map between channels having different characteristics, encode data using different modulation schemes, or a combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230282258
    Abstract: Systems and methods for finite time counting period counting of infinite data streams is presented. In particular example systems and methods enable counting row accesses to a memory media device over predetermined time intervals in order to deterministically detect row hammer attacks on the memory media device. Example embodiments use two identical tables that are reset at times offset in relation to each other in a ping-pong manner in order to ensure that there exists no false negative detections. The counting techniques described in this disclosure can be used in various types of row hammer mitigation techniques and can be implemented in content addressable memory or another type of memory. The mitigation may be implemented on a per-bank basis, per-channel basis or per-memory media device basis. The memory media device may be a dynamic random access memory type device.

  • Publication number: 20230236735
    Abstract: Systems and methods for area-efficient mitigation of errors that are caused by row hammer attacks and the like in a memory media device are described. The counters for counting row accesses are maintained in a content addressable memory (CAM) the provides fast access times. The detection of errors is deterministically performed while maintaining a number of row access counters that is smaller than the total number of rows protected in the memory media device. The circuitry for the detection and mitigation may be in the memory media device or in a memory controller to which the memory media device attaches. The memory media device may be dynamic random access memory (DRAM).

  • Publication number: 20230238046
    Abstract: An energy-efficient and area-efficient, mitigation of errors in a memory media device that are caused by row hammer attacks and the like is described. The detection of errors is deterministically performed while maintaining, in an SRAM, a number of row access counters that is smaller than the total number of rows protected in the memory media device. The reduction of the number of required counters is achieved by aliasing a plurality of rows that are being protected to each counter. The mitigation may be implemented on a per-bank basis, per-channel basis or per-memory media device basis. The memory media device may be DRAM.

  • Patent number: 11583874
    Abstract: An electrostatic sprayer system for dispensing and dispersing a liquid containing a spray compound includes a spray cloud dispersal feature that reduces the time that a residual spray cloud containing droplets including the spray compound remains suspended after spraying. A method of dispersing the residual spray cloud is implemented by a control system that causes a flow control system to deliver a non-active gas or liquid in conjunction with stopping delivery of the liquid containing the spray agent and charged with the same polarity, so that a charged cloud of the non-active gas or liquid, which may be air, displaces the suspended active fluid particles. The non-active gas or liquid may be dispensed for a predetermined time interval as determined by the control system, or the operator may control the time interval during which that the non-active fluid is dispensed.

    Abstract: A truck box and side panel lift apparatus for a pickup truck of a type having cab and bed portions includes a toolbox that extends between the side walls of the truck bed. The apparatus includes a pair of bed side panels that are situated inside the side walls of the truck. A pair of support members are slidably coupled to front ends of bed side panels and are slidably movable between retracted configurations displaced away from the toolbox and deployed configurations positioned underneath the lateral ends of the toolbox, respectively. The apparatus includes lift assemblies coupled to the bed side panels for raising or retracting the bed side panels. The toolbox is raised simultaneously with the bed side panels but only if the support members are deployed under ends of the toolbox at the time the side panels are raised.
