Abstract: A memory array including memory cells, a temperature sensing circuit, and a memory control unit operatively coupled to the memory array. The memory control unit includes a processor. The processor is configured to receive temperature information from the temperature sensing circuit, initiate programming of the memory cells with data using a first threshold voltage distribution when the temperature information indicates an operating temperature is in a first temperature range, and initiate programming of the memory cells with data using a second threshold voltage distribution when the temperature information indicates the operating temperature is in a second temperature range.

Abstract: A device connected by a link to a host system can include a first port to receive a capability configuration message across a link and a message request receiving logic comprising hardware circuitry to identify a capability of the device identified in the capability configuration message, determine that the capability is to be presented or hidden from operation based on a capability hide enable bit in the capability configuration message, and configure a capability linked list to present or hide the capability based on the determination. The device can also include a message response generator logic comprising hardware circuitry to generate a response message indicating that the capability is to be presented or hidden from operation. The device can include a second port to transmit the response message across the link.

Abstract: A handshake communication mechanism between a host and an end-point device permits multiple Base Address Registers (BAR registers) to be configured to size or resize the mapped address spaces associated with each BAR register. In one embodiment, the handshake communication mechanism includes a single address space reconfiguration request which may be transmitted in a single transaction layer packet, to request the configuration of multiple BAR registers of an end-point device. Other features and advantages may be realized, depending upon the particular application.

Abstract: An electronic device having an enclosure formed from at least one glass cover and a peripheral structure formed adjacent the periphery of the glass cover is disclosed. The peripheral structure can be secured adjacent to the glass cover with an adhesive. The peripheral structure can be molded adjacent the glass cover so that a gapless interface is formed between the peripheral structure and the periphery of the glass cover. In one embodiment, the peripheral structure includes at least an inner peripheral structure and an outer peripheral structure.

Abstract: The present invention provides devices, systems, and methods for rapid and easy-to-use in sample thermal cycling or temperature changes for the facilitation of reactions such as but not limited to PCR.

Abstract: Systems and devices can include a power management controller to determine a low power mode exit timing from a plurality of low power mode exit timing options, and cause the setting of a low power mode control register based on the determined low power mode exit timing. A message generator can generate a power mode request message. The power mode request message indicating the determined low power mode exiting timing. The power mode request message can be transmitted to a host across a multilane link.

Abstract: Among other things, the present invention is related to devices and methods of performing biological and chemical assays, particularly an easy sample manipulation and/or a rapid change or a rapid thermal cycling of a sample temperature is needed (e.g. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for amplifying nucleic acids).

Abstract: Apparatuses, storage media and methods associated with data transfer, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus for computing comprises: a commit generator and a media write generator. The commit generator is arranged to generate commit indicators correspondingly associated with media slices of a storage media to respectively denote to a storage media controller of the storage media whether to proceed with writing the media slices into the storage media. The media write generator is arranged provide data chunks of the media slices to be written into the storage media, and the associated commit indicators to the storage media controller. A size of each data chunk is smaller than a size of each media slice. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A drying apparatus usable with a printing system includes a housing, a first set of radiative heating elements, a second set of radiative heating elements, and an air handling device. The housing includes a front region and a rear region adjacent to the front region. The front region includes an inlet to receive media. The rear region includes an outlet to pass media there through. The first set of radiative heating elements is disposed within the front region to heat the media. The second set of radiative heating elements is disposed within the rear region to heat the media. The air handling device is disposed across from the second set of radiative heating elements to jet air within the rear region to cool the media prior to the media being passed through the outlet.

Abstract: An interface of a device is used to couple to another device and includes a set of data pins to support high speed data communication on an interconnect link between the devices based on an interconnect protocol. The interface further includes at least one auxiliary pin to support a particular signal defined by the interconnect protocol. The device is further configurated to generate hint data for use by the other device and send the hint data as a sideband signal to the other device over the auxiliary pin, where the sideband signal is distinct from signals defined for the auxiliary pin by the interconnect protocol.
