  • Patent number: 11949022
    Abstract: A method to fabricate a three dimensional memory structure may include creating a stack of layers including a conductive source layer, a first insulating layer, a select gate source layer, and a second insulating layer, and an array stack. A hole through the stack of layers may then be created using the conductive source layer as a stop-etch layer. The source material may have an etch rate no faster than 33% as fast as an etch rate of the insulating material for the etch process used to create the hole. A pillar of semiconductor material may then fill the hole, so that the pillar of semiconductor material is in electrical contact with the conductive source layer.

  • Patent number: 9705357
    Abstract: A portable generator system provides power to a load source including an engine and a generator. The engine drives the generator to provide a generator alternating current (AC) electrical power output. An energy storage system (ESS) provides an ESS direct current (DC) electrical power output. A first inverter is connected to the generator for receiving the generator AC electrical power output and for providing a DC power output. A second inverter is connected to the first inverter and the ESS for receiving the DC power output from the first inverter and the ESS DC electrical power output for providing an AC power output. A first power mode includes the generator maintaining a first generator power output level corresponding to a specified power requirement of a load source, and the ESS providing an additional first ESS power output level for satisfying the specified power requirement of the load source.

  • Publication number: 20070283440
    Abstract: A method and system for spam, virus, and spyware scanning in a data network are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a data packet. A character sequence is created by a first processor from a binary representation of the data packet. The character sequence is sent to a coprocessor. A malware keyword database is scanned for the character sequence with the coprocessor. The character sequence is further processed if the malware keyword database contains the character sequence.

  • Publication number: 20070043857
    Abstract: A method and system to accelerate data processing for mal-ware detection and elimination in a data network are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a first data stream via a data transmission medium; storing the first data stream in a first-in-last-out stack with additional data; receiving a second data stream; searching the first-in-last-out stack to find a matching data stream, the data stream having a scan status; and associating the scan status with the second data stream if the matching data stream is found.
