  • Publication number: 20180081833
    Abstract: A memory system supports single- and dual-memory-module configurations, both supporting point-to-point communication between a host (e.g., a memory controller) and the memory module or modules. Each memory module includes an address-buffer component, data-buffer components, and two sets of memory dies, each set termed a “timing rank,” that can be accessed independently. The one memory module is configured in a wide mode for the single-memory-module configuration, in which case both timing ranks work together, as a “package rank,” to communicate full-width data. Each of two memory modules are configured in a narrow mode for the dual-memory-module configuration, in which case one timing rank from each memory module communicates data in parallel to appear to the host as single package ranks. The data-buffer components support separate and configurable write and read delays for the different timing ranks on each module to provide read and write leveling within and between memory modules.

  • Publication number: 20170144984
    Abstract: Disclosed are modulators of the human relaxin receptor 1, for example, of formula (I), wherein A, R1, and R2 are as defined herein, that are useful in treating mammalian relaxin receptor 1 mediated facets of human health, e.g., cardiovascular disease. Also disclosed is a composition comprising a pharmaceutically suitable carrier and at least one compound of the disclosure, and a method for therapeutic intervention in a facet of mammalian health that is mediated by a human relaxin receptor 1.

  • Publication number: 20160293239
    Abstract: During system initialization, each data buffer device and/or memory device on a memory module is configured with a unique (at least to the module) device identification number. In order to access a single device (rather than multiple buffers and/or memory devices), a target identification number is written to all of the devices using a command bus connected to all of the data buffer devices or memory devices, respectively. The devices whose respective device identification numbers do not match the target identification number are configured to ignore future command bus transactions (at least until the debug mode is turned off.) The selected device that is configured with a device identification number matching the target identification number is configured to respond to command bus transactions.

  • Publication number: 20130194881
    Abstract: One or more pins may be modally assigned to either the command/address (C/A) or data (DQ) blocks of a uniform-package, multi-modal PHY (physical signaling interface) of a memory controller, thus enabling those pins to be used as C/A pins when the PHY is connected to some memory types, and as DQ pins when the PHY is connected to other memory types.

  • Publication number: 20100234841
    Abstract: Herein it is described a magnetic medical device, and a system and method in which the magnetic medical device is implemented, that enables bipolar, minimally invasive, tissue ablation. The magnetic medical device may include magnetic means for magnetically coupling the medical device to a second medical device, wherein the magnetic medical devices may be separated by the tissue to be ablated. The magnetic medical device may also include electrical means for transferring electrical energy between the magnetic medical device and the second medical device. The magnetic medical device may further include control means whereby the physical location of the magnetic medical device may be controlled and thereby, as a result of the magnetic coupling, the physical location of the second magnetic medical device may also be controlled.
