Patent number: 10319420Abstract: A sense circuit includes memory cell characterization circuitry, storage circuitry, switching circuitry, and bit line biasing circuitry. The sense circuit is configured to perform a sense operation to sense a characterization of a memory cell. During a pre-charge phase, the memory cell characterization circuitry and the bit line biasing circuitry set differential voltages in the storage circuitry to levels dependent on input offset voltages according to certain polarities. The storage circuitry maintains the differential voltages during the sense phase, allowing the memory cell characterization circuitry to cancel output the input offset voltages when generating output voltages used to identify a characterization of the memory cell. The memory cell characterization circuitry also generates its output voltage based on a reference current through a reference bit line.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: SanDisk Technologies LLCInventors: Yingchang Chen, Chun-Ju Chu

Patent number: 9366135Abstract: Method for automatically determining a planar event such as a bedding plane from azimuthal wellbore log data (501). The image log may optionally first be filtered using a smoothing filter (502). Then, the image log is inputted to a gradient (first-derivative) filter (503). The image log is also used to find the optimal local sinusoidal trend (or orientation) on the image by determining the best sine wave at each depth among all azimuthal curves from the image using a minimum-variance method (504). Finally, bed boundaries are located based on highest contrast (506) calculated along the sinusoidal lines on the gradient image (505).Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2014Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: ExxonMobil Upstream Research CompanyInventor: Shin-Ju Chu Ye
