  • Patent number: 12293781
    Abstract: The three-state spintronic device includes: a bottom electrode, a magnetic tunnel junction and a top electrode from bottom to top. The magnetic tunnel junction includes: a spin-orbit coupling layer, a ferromagnetic free layer, a barrier tunneling layer, a ferromagnetic reference layer, three local magnetic domain wall pinning centers and domain wall nucleation centers. An antisymmetric exchange interaction is modulated, and the magnetic domain wall pinning centers are embedded in an interface between a heavy metal and the ferromagnetic free layer. The magnetic domain wall nucleation centers are at two ends of the ferromagnetic free layer. A current pulse flows through the spin-orbit coupling layer to generate a spin current and the spin current is injected into the ferromagnetic free layer. Under a control of all-electrical controlled, an effective field of a spin-orbit torque drives domain wall to move and displace.

  • Patent number: 12294693
    Abstract: A method of video processing in a decoder includes determining, by a processor, an initial block vector for predicting a current block in a current coding tree unit (CTU) in response to the current block being predicted in an intra block copy (IBC) mode. The initial block vector is determined based on a merge index included in a coded video bitstream. The method further includes performing, by the processor, template matching based on the initial block vector indicated by the merge index in the video bitstream to determine a refined block vector that points to a reference block in a picture as the current block, and reconstructing, by the processor, the current block based on the reference block.

  • Publication number: 20250097145
    Abstract: This application discloses a link fault handling method, a related apparatus, a storage medium, and a program product, and belongs to the field of communication technologies. In this method, a forwarding plane component of a network device updates a reference state table in time by actively polling a port status register, so that when forwarding a data flow, the forwarding plane component can sense a local faulty link in time based on the reference state table, and perform link switching in time, and a PHY chip does not need to report fault information to a control plane CPU in the network device, or wait for the control plane CPU to deliver an instruction. That is, this solution does not depend on control plane path computation, and does not require additional communication from a data plane to a control plane, to avoid a delay caused by fault handling of the CPU.
