  • Patent number: 11507317
    Abstract: A program operation is executed on a memory sub-system. In response to receiving a request to execute a read operation, executing a first program suspend operation to suspend the program operation. In response to a completion of the read operation, a program resume operation is executed to resume execution of the program operation. A delay period is established following execution of the program resume operation during which execution of the program operation is completed. A second program suspend operation is executed following the delay period.

  • Publication number: 20220328734
    Abstract: A light-emitting device comprises a light-emitting element, a covering structure, a quantum dot material block, and an adhesive structure is disclosed. The covering structure has a depressed part. The quantum dot material block is filled into the depressed part and enclosed by the light-emitting element and the covering structure. The light-emitting element, the covering structure, and the quantum dot material block are bonded together through the adhesive structure. Since the quantum dot material block is enclosed by the covering structure and the light-emitting element, the outer moisture and oxygen are blocked by the covering structure and the light-emitting element from the quantum dot material block, the decreasing emitting efficiency of the quantum dot material is further alleviated.

  • Patent number: 11278175
    Abstract: An example robot includes a body that is movable relative to a surface, a bumper mounted on the body to enable movement of the bumper relative to the body, a sensor to produce a signal in response to the movement of the bumper relative to the body caused by contact between the bumper and the surface, and a controller to control movement of the body to cause the body to track the surface based on a value. The bumper is movable between an uncompressed position relative to the body and a compressed position relative to the body. The signal varies linearly with the movement of the bumper relative to the body. The value is based on the signal and indicates that the bumper in a partially compressed position has a compression range between the uncompressed position and the compressed position.
