  • Publication number: 20240147318
    Abstract: Aspects relate to roaming using multi-link communication. In some examples, a wireless station communicating with a first access point via a multi-link connection, using a first link and at least one other link, may identify a failure condition associated with the at least one other link. In this case, the wireless station may use one of the links to verify a connection to a second access point, while maintaining connectivity with the first access point via the first link Once connectivity to the second access point is verified, the wireless station may switch its multi-link connection to the second access point.

  • Patent number: 11935574
    Abstract: A memory cell comprises a capacitor comprising a first capacitor electrode having laterally-spaced walls, a second capacitor electrode comprising a portion above the first capacitor electrode, and capacitor insulator material between the second capacitor electrode and the first capacitor electrode. The capacitor comprises an intrinsic current leakage path from one of the first and second capacitor electrodes to the other through the capacitor insulator material. A parallel current leakage path is between the second capacitor electrode and the first capacitor electrode. The parallel current leakage path is circuit-parallel with the intrinsic current leakage path, of lower total resistance than the intrinsic current leakage path, and comprises leaker material that is everywhere laterally-outward of laterally-innermost surfaces of the laterally-spaced walls of the first capacitor electrode. Other embodiments, including methods, are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11923272
    Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of forming an integrated assembly. Semiconductor material is patterned into a configuration which includes a set of first upwardly-projecting structures spaced from one another by first gaps, and a second upwardly-projecting structure spaced from the set by a second gap. The second gap is larger than the first gaps. Conductive material is formed along the first and second upwardly-projecting structures and within the first and second gaps. First and second segments of protective material are formed over regions of the conductive material within the second gap, and then an etch is utilized to pattern the conductive material into first conductive structures within the first gaps and into second conductive structures within the second gap. Some embodiments include integrated assemblies.

  • Publication number: 20220065752
    Abstract: A rapid compression machine (RCM) employs an electrical drive to move a piston disposed within a chamber housing. The electrical drive converts electrical power into linear motion of the piston, for example, to compress contents in a reaction chamber defined by the chamber housing and the piston. The temperature and pressure changes induced by the compression can cause reaction of contents within the chamber, for example, autoignition of the contents. The RCM can thus be used to study chemical kinetics. In some embodiments, the electrical drive can also rapidly move the piston in reverse to expand a volume of the reaction chamber, for example, to quench the compression-induced reaction therein. In such embodiments, the RCM may be considered a rapid compression-expansion machine (RCEM) and can be used for speciation studies.
