Patent number: 11915775Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for bad row mode. The memory may prevent proper access operations (e.g., read operations) from being performed on a selected bad row of the memory as part of a bad row mode. For example, the memory may store a bad row address and when an access address matches the bad row address, may suppress one or more signals, change data read from the address, or combinations thereof. The bad row mode may be used to provide a positive control for post package repair (PPR) operations on the memory. A controller may enter the memory into bad row mode and then test the memory to determine if the selected bad row can be located and repaired via PPR.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jack Riley, Scott Smith, Christian Mohr, Gary Howe, Joshua Alzheimer, Yoshinori Fujiwara, Sujeet Ayyapureddi, Randall Rooney

Patent number: 11811592Abstract: In some embodiments, a contact stream is generated or modified based on configuration data received from a machine-learning model. Multiple contact items are selected for a contact stream, to be delivered to a user device via electronic communication channels. In addition, a success metric is identified indicating an engagement with the contact stream or an action performed following the engagement. A machine-learning model is applied to the contact items, where the machine-learning model is trained to identify relationships among actions in an online environment and configuration parameters that control delivery of contact streams. The machine-learning model provides an output indicating configuration data or a success probability for the contact stream. The configuration data includes configuration parameter values computed by the machine-learning model for achieving the identified success metric.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: William Brandon George, Kevin Gary Smith

Patent number: 11797161Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating sequential supporting answer reports, a computing device implements a report system to receive a user input defining a question with respect to a visual representation of analytics data rendered in a user interface. The report system determines a final answer to the question by processing a semantic representation of the question using a machine learning model. A sequence of reports is generated and the sequence defines an order of progression from a first supporting answer to the final answer. Each report of the sequence of reports includes a visual representation of a supporting answer to the question. The report system displays a dashboard in the user interface including a first report of the sequence of reports, the first report depicting a visual representation of the first supporting answer to the question.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2023Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Kevin Gary Smith, William Brandon George, Vishwa Vinay, Iftikhar Ahamath Burhanuddin
