Publication number: 20240113220Abstract: Technologies for a transistor with a thin-film ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a transistor has a thin layer of scandium aluminum nitride (ScxAl1-xN) ferroelectric gate dielectric. The channel of the transistor may be, e.g., gallium nitride or molybdenum disulfide. In one embodiment, the ferroelectric polarization changes when voltage is applied and removed from a gate electrode, facilitating switching of the transistor at a lower applied voltage. In another embodiment, the ferroelectric polarization of a gate dielectric of a transistor changes when the voltage is past a positive threshold value or a negative threshold value. Such a transistor can be used as a one-transistor memory cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Arnab Sen Gupta, Ian Alexander Young, Dmitri Evgenievich Nikonov, Marko Radosavljevic, Matthew V.

Patent number: 7290184Abstract: Method and apparatus for evaluating different digital data channel configurations. A digital data channel stores input data to a recordable medium and retrieves readback data from the medium. The input data are arranged into an input sequence of symbols of selected symbol length, and the readback data are arranged into an output sequence of symbols of the selected symbol length. Comparing the output sequence to the input sequence allows identification of the number of erroneous symbols for the selected symbol length. Different input and output sequences are generated using different symbol lengths from the same input and output data. In this way, error rate performance can be predicted for different error correction code (ECC) and run length limited (RLL) encoding scheme combinations. The steps are carried out by an emulation system preferably comprising a field programmable gate array (FPGA) which inhibits and emulates selected portions of the digital data channel.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2002Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Nikki M. Bruner, John E. Young

Patent number: 6920906Abstract: A pneumatic tire has an aggressive tread pattern for use on both on-road and off-road vehicles having at least a pair of intermediate ribs and a pair of shoulder ribs providing the ground engaging tread lugs. A plurality of circumferentially extending lug groups are formed on and extend outwardly from and along the sidewalls of the tire. Each lug group preferably includes three separate lugs, each lug having a substantially flat outer surface lying in a different plane than the outer surfaces of the other two lugs. Two of the lugs are radially aligned with each other along the sidewall of the tire with the third lug lying intermediate spaced pairs of these aligned lugs. The lugs are formed with sharp corners offset from each other which extend outwardly from the sidewall to different levels.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2002Date of Patent: July 26, 2005Assignee: Bridgestone/Firestone North American Tire, LLCInventors: William B.

Patent number: 6445525Abstract: Method and apparatus for improving disc drive performance by reducing areal data storage density while maintaining data storage capacity. A total user data storage capacity is selected for a disc recording surface. A total number of user data fields is selected to meet the data storage capacity. The data fields are distributed among a plurality of concentric zones, each zone having a plurality of data tracks, each data track in each zone having a common number of data fields written at a first write frequency. The zones are defined in relation to a data density profile defining a desired data density relationship across the disc recording surface. A final write frequency is selected for each zone equal to or less than the first write frequency that will achieve the selected data storage capacity of each track in said zone, thereby reducing data density of at least selected tracks.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 1999Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventor: John E.

Patent number: 4455286Abstract: A copper oxide-zinc oxide mixture is used as a sorbent for removing hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur containing gases at high temperatures from a gaseous fuel mixture. This high-temperature sorbent is especially useful for preparing fuel gases for high temperature fuel cells. The copper oxide is initially reduced in a preconditioning step to elemental copper and is present in a highly dispersed state throughout the zinc oxide which serves as a support as well as adding to the sulfur sorption capacity. The spent sorbent is regenerated by high-temperature treatment with an air fuel, air steam mixture followed by hydrogen reduction to remove and recover the sulfur.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1982Date of Patent: June 19, 1984Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the United States Department of EnergyInventors: John E.
