  • Publication number: 20250085867
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses to log memory errors in memory devices that can perform wear leveling based on physical addresses used in the memory devices to address select memory cells. For example, a controller of a memory sub-system communicates with a memory device installed in the memory sub-system to access memory cells in the memory device. During the communication to access memory cells in the memory device, the controller can determine a memory error at a first address. If the controller transmits the first address to the memory device for memory access at the time of the memory error, the memory device converts the first address to a second address to perform the memory access. The controller can be configured to determine the second address and record, in an error log, the memory error in association with the second address.

  • Publication number: 20250063981
    Abstract: A method performed by an as-applied data storage device while dispensing crop input products from RFID-tagged crop input containers by georeferenced locations. The method includes: a) reading product information from at least one RFID-tagged crop input container when an RFID tag reading device is operably connected to an RFID-tagged crop input container, where the RFID tag is factory installed by the manufacturer/formulator of the crop input product; b) calculating and recording as-applied information when the product is dispensed; c) transmitting the as-applied information to a data aggregator; and, d) utilizing said data aggregator for aggregating the as-applied information by georeferenced locations, where the aggregation ensures the as-applied information for that crop input is recorded in a consistent manner across the field or fields so-treated.

  • Publication number: 20250044879
    Abstract: A voice-controlled electronic device that includes a device housing having a longitudinal axis bisecting opposing top and bottom surfaces and a side surface extending between the top and bottom surfaces. The device can further include one or more microphones disposed within the device housing and distributed radially around the longitudinal axis; a processor configured to execute computer instructions stored in a computer-readable memory for interacting with a user and processing voice commands received by the one or more microphones and first transducer and second transducers configured to generate sound waves within different frequency ranges.

  • Publication number: 20040101348
    Abstract: A breath freshening apparatus includes a toothbrush and an atomizer. The toothbrush has bristles and a reservoir containing mouthwash. The atomizer is coupled to the reservoir and the bristles, where actuation of the atomizer results in a mist of the mouthwash being applied to the bristles.
