  • Patent number: 10275306
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling access to a memory device having adaptively split addressing of error-protected data words according to an inline memory storage configuration. An address translation section executes to convert a data address associated with a received command to inline data and inline error checking addresses corresponding thereto. Each data word's data and error checking bits are stored according to respective inline data inline error checking addresses. A segment of error checking bits is thereby offset in address from at least one segment of the same data word's data bits in a common chip of the memory device. A command translation section executes to convert between a received command to data access and error checking access commands for actuating respective access operations on the memory device. An error checking storage section intermediately stores error checking bits responsive to execution of the error checking access command.

  • Publication number: 20180055210
    Abstract: A toothbrush device having a body defining a cavity and an input port disposed on the body in fluid communication with the cavity. The input port permits brushing by-products to pass through the input port and into the cavity while restricting passage of the brushing by-products outward from the cavity. In one form, the toothbrush device includes an elongated handle with a reservoir having at least a portion disposed within the handle. The reservoir is sized to hold a predetermined amount of oral care product, and a mouthpiece is in fluid communication with the reservoir to discharge the oral care product from the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 8113360
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a shelf divider system for retail store product storage and display. More particularly, the present invention enables organization and presentation of a wide variety and types of products. A plurality of shelf dividers attach substantially perpendicularly to a pair of base strips. This perpendicular attachment is accomplished by inserting snap-fit pegs on the bottom of the shelf dividers into an array of mating holes formed in the base strips. Each adjacent pair of dividers forms a product organizing channel to keep the products in neat rows on the store shelf. Product paddles slide through the product organizing channel. An elongated pull ring attached to the product paddle causes products to move through the product organizing channel across the product shelf toward the front edge of the product shelf.
