  • Publication number: 20240112714
    Abstract: A memory device includes a group of ferroelectric capacitors with a shared plate that extends through the ferroelectric capacitors, has a greatest width between ferroelectric capacitors, and is coupled to an access transistor. The shared plate may be vertically between ferroelectric layers of the ferroelectric capacitors at the shared plate's greatest width. The memory device may include an integrated circuit die and be coupled to a power supply. Forming a group of ferroelectric capacitors includes forming an opening through an alternating stack of insulators and conductive plates, selectively forming ferroelectric material on the conductive plates rather than the insulators, and forming a shared plate in the opening over the ferroelectric material.

  • Publication number: 20240114696
    Abstract: Multiple-ferroelectric capacitor structures in memory devices, including in integrated circuit devices, and techniques for forming the structures. Insulators separating individual outer plates in a ferroelectric capacitor array are supported between wider portions of a shared, inner plate. Wider portions of an inner plate may be formed in lateral recesses between insulating layers. Ferroelectric material may be deposited over the inner plate between insulating layers after removing sacrificial layers. An etch-stop layer may protect the inner plate when sacrificial layers are removed. An etch-stop or interface layer may remain over the inner plate adjacent insulators.

  • Patent number: 9938793
    Abstract: A spherical blow out preventer annular seal is provided for sealing around a pipe. The blow out preventer includes a housing adapted to be disposed around the pipe and having a generally spherical interior surface. A seal body includes a plurality of metallic inserts arranged side by side in an annular pattern and each includes a base portion and a wedge shaped extension having a partially spherical outer surface terminating at a tip end. An annular elastomeric body is over-molded on the base portions of the plurality of metallic inserts with the partially spherical outer surface of each of the wedge shaped extensions being supported in engagement with the interior spherical surface of the housing. A piston is engaged with the seal body to press the metallic inserts upward and inward against the generally spherical interior surface of the housing so as to come together tangentially around the pipe.

  • Publication number: 20150082375
    Abstract: Enforcing a global access policy, comprising a global access rule for a user's devices, for consumption of a content item. The user's devices advantageously comprise a set-top box, a tablet and a gateway. The gateway is configured to split the global access rule into local access rules for the set-top box and the tablet so that independent consumption of the content item by the set-top box and the tablet according to the respective local access rules does not violate the global access rule; and to send the local access rules to a first and a second enforcement point, which are configured to receive a request to access the content item from a user device; and allow or inhibit access to the content item depending on whether or not access to the content item is authorized by the local access rule for the user device from which the request was received.
