  • Publication number: 20230029501
    Abstract: An electronic display may include a pixel circuit. The pixel circuit may include memory storage to store data values representative of image data to be depicted via the pixel circuit. The memory storage may also include memory components for storing bits of the data value. The pixel circuit may also include a light-emitting device for emitting light based at least in part on the data value and a controller. The controller may receive the data value and store the bits based on a mapping between the bits and the memory components. The mapping may be determined based on routing one or more of the bits associated with one or more defective memory components of the memory components to one or more other memory components of the memory components. The controller may also drive the light-emitting device to emit light based on the bits stored in accordance with the mapping.

  • Publication number: 20230018821
    Abstract: Provided herein, inter alia, are isolated antibodies that bind an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? v1 polypeptide (e.g., the D1 domain), an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? v2 polypeptide, or both. In some embodiments, the antibodies also bind an extracellular domain of a monkey SIRP-? polypeptide, an extracellular domain of a mouse SIRP-? polypeptide, an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? polypeptide, and/or an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? polypeptide. In some embodiments, the antibodies block or do not binding between an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? polypeptide and an IgSF domain of a human CD47 polypeptide, while in some embodiments, the antibodies reduce the affinity of a human SIRP-? polypeptide for binding an IgSF domain of a human CD47 polypeptide. Further provided herein are methods, polynucleotides, vectors, and host cells related thereto.

  • Publication number: 20230009722
    Abstract: A process operating system includes a process control platform, a process operating platform and an endpoint task robot. The process control platform is configured to receive operation information, extract a task from the operation information using a semantic analysis method, and publish the task. The process operating platform is configured to receive the task and store the task in a task queue. After receiving the task, the process operating platform defines a processing flow based on the task, and sorts the order of the task in the task queue. The endpoint task robot is configured to automatically obtain the task from the process operation platform, executes the task according to the processing flow. It then writes the execution result into the log queue and transmits the execution result to the process control platform.

  • Patent number: 11495296
    Abstract: A storage apparatus includes non-volatile memory cells formed on a memory die, each memory cell configured to hold bits of data, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to calculate parity data for data to be stored in the memory cells and program the memory cells to first distributions. The control circuit is also configured to read memory cells in the first distributions, recover the data from results of reading the memory cells in the first distributions combined with the parity data, and further program the memory cells from the first distributions to second distributions to store the data. To improve the accuracy of recovering the encoded foggy phase data, techniques are presented to calibrate the voltage levels used in sensing the foggy state distributions.
