Abstract: A serial presence detect (SPD) device includes nonvolatile memory to store SPD information. Parity information suitable for single error correct and double error detect (SEC-DED) is also stored in association with the SPD information in the nonvolatile memory. The combination of SPD information and parity information is organized into codewords addressable at each memory location. During an initialization period occurring after a power on reset and before the SPD device is accepting I2C commands, the SPD device checks each memory location (codeword) for errors. Each error detected is counted to provide an indicator of device health. Before the initialization period expires, the SPD device writes a corrected codeword back to the nonvolatile memory.

Abstract: A method for requesting a target system information block (SIB) associated with a target service is provided. The method initiates a dedicated SIB request procedure to send, to a serving cell, a request for the target SIB. The method initiates the dedicated SIB request procedure while the UE has stored at least one SIB segment of a plurality of SIB segments associated with the target SIB, and before the target SIB is successfully assembled based on the plurality of SIB segments. The method transmits, to the serving cell, the request for the target SIB to the serving cell and upon the transmission of the request starts a timer, where a second dedicated SIB request procedure is not allowed to be initiated while the timer is running.

Abstract: A wafer lift pin system is capable of dynamically modulating or adjusting the flow of gas into and out of lift pins of the wafer lift pin system to achieve and maintain a consistent pressure in supply lines that supply the gas to the lift pins. This enables the wafer lift pin system to precisely control the speed, acceleration, and deceleration of the lift pins to achieve consistent and repeatable lift pin rise times and fall times. A controller and various sensors and valves may control the gas pressures in the wafer lift pin system based on various factors, such as historic rise times, historic fall times, and/or the condition of the lift pins. This enables smoother and more controlled automatic operation of the lift pins, which reduces and/or minimizes wafer shifting and wafer instability, which may reduce processing defects and maintain or improve processing yields.
