    Abstract: A field-effect transistor (FET), selectively switchable between first and second states, includes: source and drain regions and a channel region disposed therebetween; a gate arranged to selectively receive a bias voltage which switches the FET between the first and second states; a memory structure between the gate and the channel region, structure including a first portion which is anti-ferroelectric and a second portion which is ferroelectric, both portions being polarized in a first direction when the FET is in the first state; and a depolarization dielectric layer disposed proximate to the memory structure. When the FET is set to the first state, the depolarization dielectric layer destabilizes a polarization of the second portion of the memory structure while maintaining a polarization of the first portion.

  • Patent number: 12101382
    Abstract: Embodiments provide data in-flight (DIF) services to software applications such as virtual machines (VMs) at an application level without requiring modification to established storage protocols. In exemplary embodiments, a storage controller transmits an advertisement of one or more data in-flight (DIF) services supported by a storage container of the storage controller. One or more DIF services communication path is created with attributes corresponding to the DIF services supported by the storage container. The storage controller receives, over the DIF services communication path, tagged data that can include data transmitted by a virtual machine (VM) for storage in the storage container.

  • Publication number: 20240107776
    Abstract: An antiferroelectric field effect transistor (Anti-FeFET) of a memory cell includes an antiferroelectric layer instead of a ferroelectric layer. The antiferroelectric layer may operate based on a programmed state and an erased state in which the antiferroelectric layer is in a fully polarized alignment and a non-polarized alignment (or a random state of polarization), respectively. This enables the antiferroelectric layer in the FeFET to provide a sharper/larger voltage drop for an erase operation of the FeFET (e.g., in which the FeFET switches or transitions from the programmed state to the erased state) relative to a ferroelectric material layer that operates based on switching between two opposing fully polarized states.

  • Publication number: 20230375541
    Abstract: Ultra near-field index modulated plasmonic nano-aperture label-free imaging methods and techniques are useful for imaging and detection of biological microparticles and nanoparticles such as circulating tumor exosomes (CTEs), bacteria and vimses. The methods and techniques utilize a high-density array of gold, silver, or gold/silver alloy nanodisks, in some cases on an undercut or invisible substrate. Given the relatively large nanodisk dimensions, the nanodisk array may feature a significantly blue-shifted LSPR extinction peak due to both far-field plasmonic coupling and substrate undercut. The ultra near-field imaging methods have the ability to image nanoparticles as small as 25 nm.

  • Patent number: 11709723
    Abstract: Aspects of a cloud service framework are described. In some examples, a noncompliance event is received. The noncompliance event is identified using parameters detected from a deployment of hardware resources and software resources provided by a cloud service according to a service level agreement (SLA). An application programming interface (API) associated with the noncompliance event is identified. The API is disabled by updating an API availability status. A request to invoke the API is received, and the API is prevented from being forwarded to a backend service that provides the API.
