The method may access and reuse data stored in the reuse table to repair the memory after manufacturing the memory.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for ablating tissue are disclosed that comprise positioning two or more bi-directional ablation energy sources in spaced-apart relation in sufficient proximity to the tissue to be ablated so that, upon activation each energy source creates an energy field in the tissue to be ablated. The energy sources are spaced such that the energy fields created by at least one of the activated sources partially overlaps with the energy field created by one or more of the other energy sources. The energy sources are alternately activated and deactivated, so that a substantially constant energy field results where the energy fields created by at least two of the energy sources overlap. While the energy sources are preferably RF energy sources, other energy sources, such as microwave, may be used.

A bus is secured between adjacent layers of the plurality of layers of the matrix material. The bus includes a conductive gel configured to propagate an electrical signal through the structure.

Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to a device having memory with banks of bitcells with each bank having a bitcell array. The device may have header circuitry that powers-up a selected bank and powers-down unselected banks during a wake-up mode of operation. In some instances, only the selected bank of the memory is powered-up with the header circuitry during the wake-up mode of operation.

Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to a device having memory circuitry with bitlines coupled to an array of bitcells. The device may include precharge circuitry that precharges the bitlines during modes of operation including a standby mode of operation and an active mode of operation. In some instances, the precharge circuitry may include a low power mode of operation that prevents precharge of the bitlines during the standby mode of operation.

Abstract: A flexible inductive pressure sensor, system, and method include an inductor configured to deform in multiple dimensions while maintaining inductive properties. A conductor is spaced apart from the inductor by a spacer positioned between the inductor and the conductor. The inductor has an inductance that varies based on an instantaneous distance between the inductor and the conductor. A capacitor is electrically coupled to the inductor and having a capacitance, wherein the inductor and the capacitor form a resonant circuit based on the inductance of the inductor and the capacitance of the capacitor. The resonant circuit is configured to, upon an input electrical signal applied to the flexible inductive pressure sensor, vary a voltage amplitude of an output signal based on the force applied to one or both of the inductor and the conductor and a resultant change in the impedance of the inductor.

Abstract: Protecting sensitive data from unauthorized disclosure is provided. For example, systems, methods, and computer readable storage devices are described that may be operable or configured to tokenize sensitive data attributes that may be included in a data file received from a client. Tokens that are anonymized but representative of the attributes may be generated and mapped to the sensitive data attributes. A tokenized data file may be de-tokenized and re-tokenized to perform processes that require the sensitive data attributes. A document may be transformed to protect the sensitive data attributes while reducing risk of disclosure of the sensitive data.
