Patent number: 7990771Abstract: A method of erasing and programming a flash memory device including multi-level cells (MLCs). MLCs of a word line are selected and some of the MLCs are pre-programmed based on whether their individual threshold voltages are included in a first voltage range. The selected MLCs are pre-programmed with a pre-program (first) voltage; and the remaining MLCs are prohibited from pre-programming; then the remaining MLCs connected to the selected word line are programmed by applying a program (second) voltage that gradually rises from the pre-program voltage at a ratio of a step voltage n for the selected line.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2009Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Hynix Semiconductor Inc.Inventors: Kyung Pil Hwang, Hyung Seok Kim, Keum Hwan Noh, Ju In Kim, Min Kyu Lee, Seok Jin Joo, Sook Kyung Kim

Publication number: 20100233192Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing activated lymphocytes, which comprises isolating lymphocytes from peripheral blood and proliferating and activating the isolated lymphocytes in vitro. According to the disclosed method, highly effective toxic cells can be prepared in large amounts by culturing human peripheral lymphocytes in the presence of an anti-CD3 antibody, IFN-? and IL-2. The activated lymphocytes proliferated according to the disclosed preparation method comprise both CD3-CD56+ (natural killer cell marker) cells that are the main components of LAK cells, and CD3+CD56+ cells that are the main components of CIK cells, and can be cultured in large amounts. Thus, the lymphocyte cells can show a significantly higher anticancer effect compared to when the LAK cells and the CIK cells are used alone.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2007Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: Binex Co., Ltd.Inventors: Soon Won Park, Young Ok Son, Cheol Hun Son, You Soo Park, Jung Hwa Ban, Kyoung-Gyu Lee, Jeong Su Jang, Chi Dug Kang, Won-Suk Kim, Kyung Chool An, Back Chun Lee, Ju In Kim, Eun Kyung Park, Sung Hee Choi

Patent number: 7561474Abstract: A duel program verify operation is performed using first and second verify voltages. In order to reduce the width of a threshold voltage distribution during an incremental step pulse program implementation, data of a corresponding memory cell are verified twice using the first verify voltage and the second verify voltage. During a second verify operation using the second verify voltage, a sensing current is adjusted by controlling voltages applied as a bit line select signal and an evaluation time period. Therefore, the threshold voltage of the memory cell can be measured higher or lower than its actual value and the width of a threshold voltage distribution is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2007Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Hynix Semiconductor Inc.Inventors: Ju In Kim, Ju Yeab Lee
