  • Publication number: 20250089271
    Abstract: A memory device includes a stack of memory die packages. Each memory die package includes at least two memory dies. A switch is electrically coupled to at least one of the memory die packages. A bond wire electrically couples the switch to a substrate of the memory device. Each memory die is also electrically coupled to the switch. Based on a received control signal, the switch selects which memory die is electrically and/or communicatively coupled to the substrate using the electrical connections between the memory dies and the bond wire that electrically couples the switch to the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11422888
    Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a memory and a controller are provided for error detection and data integrity checking during the data transfer of write operations. The memory includes a write enable input. The controller generates data integrity information based on at least one data byte to be written to the memory, and transfers the at least one data byte and the data integrity information to the memory, with the data integrity information being transferred to the write enable input. A data integrity circuit receives the at least one data byte and the data integrity information from the controller, and detects whether an error exists in the at least one data byte based on the data integrity information. Accordingly, error detection of data being written to memory may be improved by the data integrity checking of the data prior to being written to the memory of the storage device.

  • Patent number: 10983142
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for forming atomically precise structures are provided. In some embodiments, the methods, devices, and systems of the present disclosure utilize a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) system to receive a sample having a surface to be patterned. The system positions a conductive tip over a pixel region of the surface. While the conductive tip remains laterally fixed relative to the surface, the system applies a bias voltage between the conductive tip and the surface such that a current between the conductive tip and the surface removes at least one atom from the pixel region. The system stops applying the voltage and current when it senses the removal of the at least one atom. The system then verifies that the at least one atom has been removed from the pixel region.

  • Publication number: 20200176248
    Abstract: A method for reducing the amount of mobile surface molecules present on a substrate surface includes providing a substrate having an area of interest, where the substrate is disposed within a controlled environment (e.g., a UHV environment). In some embodiments, a mask is positioned in a first position over the area of interest. Thereafter, a first deposition of a reactive material from a reactive material source is performed onto a first substrate region. The mask, while in the first position, blocks deposition of the reactive material within the area of interest. The mask may then positioned in a second position over the area of interest. In some embodiments, a second deposition of the reactive material from the reactive material source is performed to circumscribe the area of interest with the reactive material. In various embodiments, mobile surface molecules are captured using the deposited reactive material.

  • Patent number: 10583909
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a foldable aerodynamic structure, such as a wing, for an aircraft. The wing (1) including an inner region (1) and an outer region (3) rotatable relative to the inner region between a flight configuration and a ground configuration. The method includes designing the foldable aerodynamic structure by determining the location and orientation of an Euler axis of rotation (11) about which the outer region rotates to achieve the ground configuration and determining a cut plane (13), perpendicular to that Euler axis, separating the inner and outer regions; and iteratively repeating this process until a preferred cut plane (13) is obtained that satisfies at least one design criteria.

  • Patent number: 7753232
    Abstract: A fluid dispensing apparatus is configured to dispense a predetermined volume of fluid, and includes a fluid reservoir to hold a fluid to be dispensed, a dispense tube to dispense the fluid, and an elevator mechanism. The fluid reservoir receives a fluid from a fluid supply. A dispense tube has a dispense outlet, and is connected to an outlet port on the fluid reservoir. The elevator mechanism changes a relative vertical displacement between the dispense outlet and the outlet port, such that the fluid is dispensed when the dispense outlet is lower than the outlet port, and not dispensed when the dispense outlet is higher than the outlet port.
