  • Compact three-dimensional memory
    Patent number: 9666641
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a compact three-dimensional memory (3D-MC). By forming simple switching devices (e.g., pass transistors) on the address-select lines, contact vias can be shared by the address-select lines in the same memory level, or from different memory levels. This leads to sparser and fewer contact vias.

  • Three-dimensional one-time-programmable memory comprising off-die address/data-translator
    Patent number: 9666300
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a three-dimensional one-time-programmable memory (3D-OTP) comprising an off-die address/data-translator (A/D-translator). It comprises at least a 3D-array die and at least a peripheral-circuit die. At least an A/D-translator of the 3D-OTP arrays is located on the peripheral-circuit die instead of the 3D-array die. The A/D-translator converts at least an address and/or data between logic and physical spaces.

  • Imprinted Memory
    Publication number: 20170110463
    Abstract: Although photolithography is the preferred pattern-transfer method for even the 10 nm electrically-programmable memory (EPM, which comprises only periodic patterns), imprint-lithography is the preferred method to form the sub-25 nm printed memory (which comprises at least one non-periodic data-pattern). Accordingly, the present invention discloses an imprinted memory.

  • Offset-Printing Method for Three-Dimensional Printed Memory with Multiple Bits-Per-Cell
    Publication number: 20170098650
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an offset-printing method for a three-dimensional printed memory with multiple bits-per-cell. The mask-patterns for different bits-in-a-cell are merged onto a multi-region data-mask. At different printing steps, a wafer is offset by different values with respect to the data-mask. Accordingly, data-patterns from a same data-mask are printed into different bits-in-a-cell.

    Publication number: 20170098632
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a three-dimensional 3D-oP (three-dimensional offset-printed memory)-based package (3D2-oP). The mask-patterns for different dice in a same 3D2-oP package are merged onto a same data-mask. At different printing steps, a wafer is offset by different values with respect to the data-mask. Accordingly, data-patterns from a same data-mask are printed into different dice in a same 3D2-oP package.

  • Music-Based Positioning Aided By Dead Reckoning
    Publication number: 20170097239
    Abstract: Music-based positioning (MP) provides positioning service only sporadically. To continuously provide positioning service, the present invention discloses music-based positioning aided by dead reckoning (MP-DR). At each signature burst (i.e., a highly unique short musical segment suitable for positioning), sounds of a music piece or a human speech are used for positioning. Between signature bursts, dead reckoning (DR) is used.

  • Location-Based Prefetch and Participant-Based Prefetch
    Publication number: 20160381508
    Abstract: To reduce the mobile data usage, information associated with scheduled future events is prefetched via an inexpensive mass-data transfer link (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or off-peak mobile broadband) and does not need to be fetched via an expensive mobile communication link (e.g., mobile broadband) during normal usage. Location-based prefetch and participant-based prefetch can leverage the existing infrastructures of location-based services (LBS) and social networking services (SNS).
