Abstract: A cotton stuffing machine includes a roller conveyance device, a rotation device, an upward pushing device, and a downward pressing device. The roller conveyance device inputs cotton and presses and pulls the cotton to deliver a cotton section. The rotation device includes a plurality of rotation arms. Each rotation arm has a holding barrel on two ends thereof, and undergoes a 180-degree rotation displacement between a feeding position and an outputting position. The upward pushing device is disposed beneath the feeding position for pushing the cotton section upward into the holding barrel. The downward pressing device is disposed above the outputting position for pushing out the cotton section and inserting it into the bottle. Thus, the present invention improves the efficiency of stuffing operation for stuffing the cotton into the bottles.

Abstract: A memory device and associated techniques avoid a disturb of a select gate transistor during an erase operation for memory cells in a string. During the erase operation, a channel potential gradient near the select gate transistors is reduced when the voltages of the bit line and the substrate are suitably controlled. In one approach, the voltage of the substrate at a source end of the memory string is increased to an intermediate level first before being increased to the erase voltage threshold level while the voltage of the bit line is held at a reference voltage level to delay floating the voltage of the bit line. Another approach builds off the first approach by temporarily decreasing the voltage of the bit line to a negative level before letting the voltage of the bit line to float at the same time as the voltage of the substrate is increased to the erase voltage threshold level.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing on-chip capacitance using through-body-vias (TBVs). In accordance with some embodiments, a TBV may be formed within a semiconductor layer, and a dielectric layer may be formed between the TBV and the surrounding semiconductor layer. The TBV may serve as one electrode (e.g., anode) of a TBV capacitor, and the dielectric layer may serve as the dielectric body of that TBV capacitor. In some embodiments, the semiconductor layer serves as the other electrode (e.g., cathode) of the TBV capacitor. To that end, in some embodiments, the entire semiconductor layer may comprise a low-resistivity material, whereas in some other embodiments, low-resistivity region(s) may be provided just along the sidewalls local to the TBV, for example, by selective doping in those location(s). In other embodiments, a conductive layer formed between the dielectric layer and the semiconductor layer serves as the other electrode (e.g., cathode) of the TBV capacitor.
