Patent number: 9734029Abstract: Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods having a memory structure included in a memory device and a control unit included in the memory device. The control unit can provide information obtained from the memory structure during a memory operation to a host device (e.g., a processor) in response to a command from the host device. If the control unit receives a notification from the host device indicating that the host device has detected an error in the information obtained from the memory structure, then a repair unit included in the memory device performs a memory repair operation to repair a portion in the memory structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Kurt Ware

Patent number: 7203539Abstract: An apparatus and method for delivering electrical shock therapy in order to treat atrial tachyarrhythmias such as fibrillation in which the energy stored in a capacitor used to deliver a shock pulse is monitored and adjusted. A charging circuit is used to charge the capacitor from a supply voltage upon detection of an atrial arrhythmia, and a controller monitors sensed ventricular depolarizations until R-wave synchrony requirements are met so that an atrial shock pulse can be safely delivered. The controller also attempts to maintain the voltage of the capacitor at a specified voltage before delivery of the shock pulse by operation of the charging circuit.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2004Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: Kurt Ware, Jay A. Warren
