Abstract: A method for generating a virtual block stripe in a memory device is described. The method includes determining a minimum quantity of data blocks in the virtual block stripe to be generated and determining that a first bank has a first quantity of operational data blocks that is greater than the minimum quantity of data blocks in the virtual block stripe. The method also includes determining that a second bank has a second quantity of operational data blocks that is less than the minimum quantity of data blocks in the virtual block stripe and logically mapping one or more data blocks of the first bank to the second bank. The method further includes generating the virtual block stripe comprising the second quantity of operational data blocks of the second bank and the logically mapped one or more data blocks of the first bank.

Abstract: A compressor having a housing along with a wheel including a hub and a plurality of impellers defining flow channels is disclosed. The hub forms a flow surface that defines a concave surface-curve from an inducer end to an inflection point, and a convex surface from the inflection point to an exducer end of the flow surface. The hub forms a back-disk surface including a circumferential edge-channel inset from and surrounding a central portion. The housing includes a conical inner-diffuser wall surrounding a circular inset wall. The central portion of the back-disk surface is received by the conical inner-diffuser wall, while the exducer end of the flow surface extends radially outward to be axially over an inner portion of the inner-diffuser wall.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a memory sub-system controller selectively refresh data by differentiating between read disturb charge loss from data retention charge loss. The controller performs a read disturb induced charge loss (RDCL) scan operation on a portion of a set of memory components. The controller determines that a first bit error count (BEC) associated with the RDCL scan operation on the portion of the set of memory components transgresses a threshold value and determines whether the first BEC corresponds to a second BEC that represents data retention (DR) charge loss. The controller selectively refreshes data stored in the portion of the set of memory components based on determining whether the first BEC corresponds to the second BEC that represents DR charge loss.

Abstract: The present disclosure configures a memory sub-system controller to perform a first page read scan in a memory sub-system. The controller determines that a condition to prevent first page read errors has been met. The controller, in response to determining that the condition to prevent the first page read errors has been met, selects a first portion of a set of memory components. The controller determines whether the first portion corresponds to single level cell (SLC) usage and selectively performs one or more memory operations to prevent first page read errors associated with the first portion based on whether the first portion corresponds to single level cell (SLC) usage.

Abstract: The present disclosure configures a system component, such as a memory sub-system controller, to provide adaptive media management based on bit error rates. The controller receives a request to read data from an individual memory component of a set of memory components and, in response to receiving the request to read the data, reads the data from the individual memory component. The controller computes a number of errors associated with reading the data from the individual memory component. The controller determines whether the number of errors satisfies a refresh condition and selectively refreshes the data stored in the individual memory component based on whether the number of errors satisfies the refresh condition.

Abstract: The disclosure configures a memory sub-system controller to use prior read verify operations to selectively apply enhancements to read window budgets (RWB). The controller receives a request to perform a memory operation on data stored in an individual memory component of a set of memory components. The controller accesses RWB tracking information associated with the individual memory component and determines that the tracking information associated with the individual memory component indicates a need for enhancing a RWB associated with the memory operation. The controller applies one or more enhancement processes to the individual memory component in response to determining that the tracking information associated with the individual memory component indicates the need for enhancing the RWB associated with the memory operation.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a method for work zone management, including the steps of providing one or more images of a work zone, analyzing the one or more images to detect one or more work-zone related objects within the work zone, sizing the detected work-zone related objects by comparing the detected objects to known sizes of common work zone equipment to establish a scale, calculating estimated positions of the one or more work-zone related objects, mapping the one or more work-zone related objects to a topological map, calculating a topology complexity score based on the topological map, and determining whether the work zone is an organized work zone or a random accumulation of work zone objects, based on the topology complexity score.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for approximating a ground state or a Gibbs state of a k-local Hamiltonian using a quantum computer system. The procedure begins by providing a set of local generalised measurements corresponding to the terms of the k-local Hamiltonian. A set of data qudits is initialised into an initial state and a local generalised measurement is subsequently performed to perturb a subset of the data qudits from an initial state to a perturbed state. The perturbation is accepted or rejected based on a measurement outcome of the local generalised measurement. The perturbation and accept/reject steps are repeated unless or until a stopping condition is met. The result of the procedure is to provably drive the encoded Hamiltonian toward or even into a ground state or a Gibbs state, a useful starting point in many quantum algorithms, such as those relating to materials simulation.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that generates a pattern-clip-based hotspot database for performing automatic pattern-clip-based layout verification. During operation, the system receives a list of pattern clips which specify manufacturing hotspots to be avoided in a layout, wherein each pattern clip comprises a set of geometries in proximity to each other. Next, for each pattern clip, the system perturbs the pattern clip to determine a first range of variations for the constituent set of geometries wherein the perturbed pattern clip no longer causes a manufacturing hotspot. The system then extracts a set of correction guidance descriptions from the first range of variations for correcting the pattern clip. Subsequently, the system stores the pattern clip and the set of correction guidance descriptions in the pattern-clip-based hotspot database.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that automatically processes manufacturing hotspot information. During operation, the system receives a pattern clip associated with a manufacturing hotspot in a layout, wherein the pattern clip comprises a set of polygons in proximity to the manufacturing hotspot's location. Next, the system determines if the pattern clip matches a known manufacturing hotspot configuration. If the pattern clip does not match a known manufacturing hotspot configuration, the system then performs a perturbation process on the pattern clip to determine a set of correction recommendations to eliminate the manufacturing hotspot. By performing the perturbation process, the system additionally determines ranges of perturbation to the set of polygons wherein the perturbed pattern clip does not eliminate the manufacturing hotspot. Subsequently, the system stores the set of correction recommendations and the ranges of perturbation into a manufacturing hotspot database.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that verifies an integrated circuit (IC) chip layout. During operation, the system receives a layout of an IC chip after the layout has gone through a place-and-route operation. Next, the system performs a lithography compliance checking (LCC) operation on the layout to detect lithography hotspots within the layout, wherein each lithography hotspot is associated with a local routing pattern around the lithography hotspot. Next, for each detected lithography hotspot, the system compares the associated local routing pattern against a hotspot database to determine if the local routing pattern matches an entry in the hotspot database, which stores a set of known hotspot configurations. If so, the system corrects the lithography hotspot using correction guidance information associated with the hotspot configuration stored in the hotspot database.
