Patent number: 7719878Abstract: The write disturb that occurs in polymer memories may be reduced by writing back data after a read in a fashion which offsets any effect on the polarity of bits in bit lines associated with the addressed bit. For example, each time the data is written back, its polarity may be alternately changed. In another embodiment, the polarity may be randomly changed.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2007Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Richard L. Coulson, Jonathan C. Lueker, Robert W. Faber

Publication number: 20090222601Abstract: A concurrent asynchronous USB 2.0 data stream destuffer and separator with variable-width bit-wise memory controller is described. A parallel stream bit destuffer module identifies in parallel one or more stuffed bits in a decoded data field of a received data stream using a six-bit sliding window. The stuffed bits are bits that were inserted into the received USB data stream by a transmitter to force data transitions in the received USB data stream. A data separator module separates the one or more stuffed bits from a plurality of valid data bits in the decoded data field. A memory module generates an incremental pointer value representative of the number of valid bits and writes the plurality of valid data bits from the decoded data field into a variable sized bit-wise memory structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2008Publication date: September 3, 2009Inventors: Dean Warren, Jonathan C.

Patent number: 7222052Abstract: Briefly, one or more memory access parameters used to access a memory cell are adjusted based on a sensed operating temperature. In one embodiment, a pulse width of an access voltage is increased as the operating temperature decreases below a threshold. In another embodiment, a drive voltage is decreased as the operating temperature increases.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2004Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Richard L.

Patent number: 7218545Abstract: Briefly, voltages to write a memory cell are adjusted if the memory cell is determined to be imprinted. In one embodiment, a positive voltage not including zero is applied to one of a bit line and a word line and a negative voltage not including zero is applied to another of the bit line and the word line to write a specified logic state to an imprinted memory cell. Neighboring cells do not receive disturb voltages in excess of a disturb voltage threshold.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2004Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jonathan C.

Patent number: 6907096Abstract: In order to recover phase information, data transmitted at a first frequency is over-sampled using a clock at a second frequency, n times per bit time to obtain n samples. The n samples are used to detect the transitions between two logic levels in said transmitted data which are stored in groups of m sets of said n edge results which are, in turn output at a clock frequency which is the second frequency divided by m, for further processing.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2000Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jonathan C.

Patent number: 6647444Abstract: Incoming serial data which is received M bits at a time where M=N, N+1 or N−1 and N is greater than 1 is synchronized to a local clock by receiving a first M bits of data, storing the first M bits, receiving M additional bits, storing the M additional bits, repetitively receiving and storing until at least a predetermined number R of bits have been stored, where R=(M*X)+1 where X is an integer greater than one. When this occurs, the first R bits are output and any remaining S bits in excess of R are stored and additional groups of M bits added, with the process continuing until all of a packet has been received. With this arrangement, the R bits may be output at a rate which is a fraction of the serial bit rate.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2000Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jonathan C.

Patent number: 5333154Abstract: A digital data generation system including a programmable dominance RS flip-flop has a random access memory that stores a user selected sequence of test data. A pattern formatting logic circuit receives the test data and produces, for each data period, a coarsely timed candidate pulse for identifying the leading edge of an output data pulse and a coarsely timed candidate pulse for identifying the trailing edge of the output data pulse. A precision delay circuit finely tunes the timing of the candidate pulses. The finely tuned pulses are applied to an RS flip-flop circuit which can be programmed for set or reset dominance, thereby preventing an indeterminate state when a logic "1" is applied to both the set and the reset input. In the system, the flip-flop is programmed so that the most recent of the lead pulse or the trail pulse prevails.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1992Date of Patent: July 26, 1994Assignee: Tektronix, Inc.Inventors: John A.

The periphery of the film carrier is patterned with a plurality of windows and a plurality of conductors, each conductor having a bent-up tab and and end portion terminating at the periphery within the respective window. A microminiature inductor core having a plurality of insulated windings is soldered to the respective bent-up tab of each conductor and the end portion of each conductor is then welded to bonding pads on the mounting substrate.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1989Date of Patent: October 30, 1990Assignee: Tektronix, Inc.Inventors: William E.

Patent number: 4504809Abstract: A miniature latching thermomagnetic relay is disclosed which offers high contact forces, small size, and low cost. Ferromagnetic material is placed upon heaters in a low thermal conductivity substrate. A permanent magnet beneath the substrate attracts a moving element above the substrate. Contact points on the substrate and the moving element from electrical connections.A control signal causes a heater to warm the ferromagnetic material, changing the saturation flux density of the material. This results in an unbalanced force on the moving element, causing it to rock about a pivot point to open or close connections as desired. Planar fabrication techniques may be used to construct the relay.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1984Date of Patent: March 12, 1985Inventors: Jonathan C. Lueker, Raymond A. Zandonatti
