  • Publication number: 20240071434
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for drift compensation for codewords in memory. A memory device comprises memory cells and circuitry configured to sense a codeword stored in the memory cells. The circuitry is further configured to determine a value of a cell metric of each memory cell of the sensed codeword, wherein the value of the cell metric of each of the memory cells is determined based on a summation of a threshold voltage value of each of the memory cells, a mean of the threshold voltage values of the memory cells, and a value proportional to the mean of the threshold voltage values of the memory cells. The circuitry is further configured to determine which cell metric of each of the memory cells has a lowest value, input that cell metric into a Pearson detector, and determine the originally programmed data of the codeword using the Pearson detector.

  • Publication number: 20240071511
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses, methods, and systems for drift compensation for codewords in memory. An embodiment includes a memory device having an array of memory cells, and circuitry to sense a codeword stored in the array, determine a threshold voltage value of each cell of the codeword, sort the threshold voltage values, determine a second derivative value of a cell metric for a number of the cells of the codeword based on the threshold voltage value of that respective cell, the threshold voltage value immediately preceding the threshold voltage value of that respective cell in the sorted values, and a value proportional to a total quantity of the cells of the codeword, determine the cell metric for which the determined second derivative value has a greatest value, input the determined cell metric to a Pearson detector, and determine originally programmed data of the codeword using the Pearson detector.

  • Publication number: 20240071487
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for drift compensation for codewords in memory. A memory device comprises memory cells and circuitry configured to sense a codeword stored in the array of memory cells using a reference voltage and determine an amount by which to adjust the reference voltage used to sense the codeword based on an estimated weight of the original codeword, a mean of threshold voltage values of each memory cell of the sensed codeword, and a total quantity of memory cells of the sensed codeword. The circuitry can further be configured to adjust the reference voltage used to sense the codeword by the determined amount.

  • Patent number: 10991264
    Abstract: Systems and methods for compounding pharmaceuticals, for example for intravenous delivery. The devices include an infrared camera and an infrared light source, and can backlight and photograph items such as syringes in infrared light for enhanced clarity. A visible light camera may also be provided, for example a color digital camera, for documenting other parts of the compounding process. The device may have other sensors, for example a bar code scanner and a weight sensor, for collecting other data about the compounding process. In one example implementation, the device is a compounding assistance device that leads a user of the device through a compounding task using instructions shown on a display. In other implementations, the device may be robotic.

  • Publication number: 20140251988
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a freight container comprising a floor, a roof (D), and a plurality of walls comprising at least a front end wall and side walls (A). These walls (A) and roof (D) each comprise at least one panel having two surface dimensions in relation to the container. The panels comprise a fibre-reinforced wall material, comprising a first and a second outer fibre layer (1, 6, 7,12), and at least a first and a second intermediate fibre layer (2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11) arranged in between the first and second outer fibre layers. The fibres of the outer fibre layers are aligned along an outer fibre direction and the fibres of the intermediate fibre layers are aligned respectively along a first and second intermediate fibre direction which are mutually transverse and inclined with respect to the outer fibre direction. The outer fibre direction is aligned with a shortest of said surface dimensions of said panels.
