Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for metadata implementation for memory devices are described. A memory device may read metadata, transfer the metadata to a buffer, and read information. For example, the memory device may receive a read command from a host device to read information. The memory device may execute a first internal read command to read the metadata associated with the information. Upon reading the metadata, the memory device may store the metadata in the buffer (e.g., one or more latches). Upon determining that a duration has elapsed, the memory device may execute a second internal read command to read the information associated with the metadata. The memory device transmits the information and the metadata to the host device. In some other cases, the memory device may write information, store metadata in a buffer, and write the metadata (e.g., a different order than for read operations).

Abstract: A regulator valve has a check valve manifold for use in subsea control circuits. For example, the regulator valve having the check valve manifold can be used in a circuit between a directional control valve and an actuator for a gate valve.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for adjusting a refresh rate during a self-refresh state are described. A memory system may enter a self-refresh state and execute a first set of refresh operations on a set of rows of memory cells at the memory system according to a first rate.

In response to the counter satisfying the threshold for the second time, a flip-flop circuit at the memory system may modify an output of the flip-flop circuit and the memory system may decrease the rate for executing the refresh operations to a second rate based on the modified output of the flip-flop circuit.
