  • Publication number: 20190269160
    Abstract: A method for processing dried fresh jujube slices includes the following steps: preparing jujube slices, coring and removing stems, quick-freezing and retaining freshness of the jujube slices, thawing frozen jujube slices, protecting color treatment, expanding jujube slices under differential pressure, preparing superfine mixed seasoning powder, and coating of the superfine mixed seasoning powder. For one hand, this method solves problems that the dried fresh jujube slices will be deeply oxidized and brown when dried by the hot air at a high temperature of 90-110° C., the jujube slices with compacted cells will become harder and be difficult to chew because of 6-8 h rapid dehydration. On the other hand, it solves problems that exist in freeze drying at a vacuum degree of 1.3-13 Pa, and at a low temperature of ?10-50° C., such as high energy consumption, long processing cycle, high equipment investment, small size of slices, and poor taste.

  • Publication number: 20190165255
    Abstract: A memory device includes a plurality of layers forming a stack. The plurality of layers include a spin polarization layer having a magnetic anisotropy approximately perpendicular to a plane of the spin polarization layer, an antiferromagnetic layer having an antiferromagnetic material, a ferromagnetic layer that is exchange coupled to the antiferromagnetic layer, where the antiferromagnetic layer is between the ferromagnetic layer and the spin polarization layer, and a storage layer having a magnetization direction that indicates a memory state of the storage layer. The memory state is switched by an amount of current through the stack. The spin polarization layer, the ferromagnetic layer, and the antiferromagnetic layer are configured to reduce the amount of current through the stack for switching the magnetization direction of the storage layer relative to an amount of current through a memory device without the spin polarization layer, the ferromagnetic layer, and the antiferromagnetic layer.
