Abstract: A method includes performing a first operation to program data to a group of memory cells of a memory device, wherein the data comprises host data and a bit pattern indicative of a first temperature of the group of memory cells and receiving a signal to perform a second operation to read the host data from the group of memory cells. The method further includes determining, responsive to receipt of the signal, whether a second temperature of the group of memory cells is outside a threshold temperature differential that is based on the bit pattern indicative of the first temperature of the group of memory cells, applying a voltage offset signal to the group of memory cells responsive to a determination that the second temperature of the group of memory cells is outside the threshold temperature differential, and performing the second operation to read the host data from the group of memory cells subsequent to application of the voltage offset signal to the group of memory cells.

Abstract: A refrigerant flow metering device for use in a refrigeration system includes a body having a flow passage extending therethrough. A piston having a flow metering port extending therethrough is movably disposed within the flow passage. An elongated member extends into the metering port of the piston and cooperates with the port to define a flow metering passage therebetween. The elongated member is configured such that it will vary the cross-sectional area of the flow metering passage a function of the position of the member to the metering port. Means are provided for supporting the elongated member within the housing and for controlling the relative axial position of the elongated member and the piston with respect to one another as a function of the differential pressure across the piston. The refrigerant expansion device is capable of responding to certain pressure and flow conditions within a refrigeration system to provide optimum expansion areas within the device for such pressure and flow conditions.
