  • Publication number: 20260341365
    Abstract: An apparatus that includes a set of memory components of a memory sub-system is disclosed for selectively adjusting a touch up program pulse of an SG. The memory sub-system includes a processing device that detects a condition for performing a select gate (SG) scan for a set of SGs associated with a set of memory components of a memory sub-system. The processing device, in response to detecting the condition for performing the SG scan, accesses data associated with a plurality of memory cells of the set of memory components coupled to an individual SG of the set of SGs. The processing device adjusts a touch up (TU) program pulse based on the accessed data associated with the plurality of memory cells and applies the adjusted TU program pulse to the individual SG to place a threshold voltage (Vt) of the individual SG within a specified operating range.

  • Publication number: 20260329008
    Abstract: An optical fiber cladding optical filter includes an elongated capillary tube including an inner surface positioned surrounding an elongated optical fiber proximate or adjacent an exterior surface of the optical fiber and an outer surface positioned spaced from the exterior surface of the optical fiber. A grating formed on the outer surface of the elongated capillary tube aids in suppressing evanescent laser light that exits the optical fiber transverse to a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber. The elongated optical fiber and surrounding elongated capillary tube can include one or more curves along a length thereof to aid in the removal of one or more higher order laser modes as evanescent laser light that exits the optical fiber. The one or more curves can be received in a container to prevent or avoid evanescent laser exiting the optical fiber from propagating into an ambient environment.

  • Publication number: 20260329693
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses include retrieving a failed bit count threshold using a current memory group for a portion of memory. A current offset value is retrieved using the current memory group. A memory group scan is performed on the portion of memory using the current offset value. A current failed bit count is determined using results of the memory group scan. A second offset value is retrieved using a second memory group for the portion of memory. A second memory group scan is performed on the portion of memory using the second offset value. A second failed bit count is determined using results of the second memory group scan. The portion of memory is allocated to a destination memory group using the current failed bit count, the second failed bit count, and the failed bit count threshold.

  • Publication number: 20260279473
    Abstract: The present disclosure configures a system component, such as memory sub-system controller, to perform empty page scan operations. The controller, in response to a request to perform an empty page scan operation, identifies a portion of a set of memory components that is empty and ready to be programmed. The controller generates an order in which to perform the empty page scan operation for a plurality of regions of the identified portion of the set of memory components. The controller determines whether a first region of the plurality of regions in the order fails the empty page scan operation before a second region of the plurality of regions is scanned. The controller terminates the empty page scan operation early to prevent performing the empty page scan operation for one or more remaining regions of the plurality of regions of the identified portion.

  • Patent number: 12735684
    Abstract: A glycosyltransferase mutant and a method for catalytic synthesis of rebaudioside M using the glycosyltransferase mutant are provided. The glycosyltransferase mutant is obtained through mutation based on a glycosyltransferase amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and can be produced by inducing expression in a mutant strain. The glycosyltransferase mutant can be used as a catalyst for enzymatic catalytic synthesis of 12.8 g/LRebM from 20 g/LRebE. Michaelis constants (a kinetic parameter) of the glycosyltransferase mutant S195Q for rebaudioside E and rebaudioside D are 56.34±2.02 ?M and 214.48±14.54 ?M, respectively, which are ? and ? of a Michaelis constant of a wild-type (WT) glycosyltransferase, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20260236174
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a system for performing read error handling. The system tracks read count and temperature data for a portion of a memory device and, in response to determining that the read count for the portion transgresses a threshold, compares a current bin assignment that specifies a first set of read threshold offsets for reading data from the portion of the memory device with a target bin specified in a predefined table of bin assignments. The predefined table of bin assignments associates read counts and temperatures with corresponding target bin assignments. The system selectively performs bin calibration to selectively adjust a read threshold voltage offset to read data from the portion in response to comparing of the current bin assignment and the target bin and performs a read disturb handling (RDH) operation on the portion of the memory device using the selectively adjusted read threshold voltage offset.
