  • Publication number: 20260128095
    Abstract: A memory structure including three-dimensional NOR memory strings and method of operation is disclosed. In some embodiments, the memory device implements partial polarization to provide a reference signal for read operation. The reference signal realizes a third logical state distinguishable from the first and second logical stages in the ferroelectric memory transistor, such as associated with the program and erase states. In another embodiment, the memory device provides a reference signal for read operation by averaging a first signal associated with a program state and a second signal associated with an erased state of the ferroelectric memory transistor. In some embodiments, the memory device implements one or more partial polarization states to provide a multi-level memory cell with more than one logical bit stored in each memory cell.

  • Patent number: 12545993
    Abstract: A method for making tantalum sputtering targets with stable through thickness {100}+{111} preferred crystallographic orientation volume fraction is disclosed. Starting from electron beam melted tantalum ingots, the method includes various forging, controlled rolling and recrystallization annealing. The resultant tantalum sputtering targets yield stable deposition rate and film uniformity from burn-in through the end-of-life during sputtering. Also disclosed is a tantalum sputtering target made in accordance with the disclosed method.

  • Publication number: 20250294028
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for administering access to generated files. The method involves storing a file on a server. The server receives a request from a first client device to generate a uniform resource identifier (URI) associated with the file, an identity, and a dynamic expire time. The server generates the URI, which links to a resource comprising the file, and transmits it to a second client device. The server then receives a request from the second client device using the URI to request the resource. The server validates the identity by checking it against a database of authorized identities. Additionally, the server validates the identity through an identity provider, which prompts the user to login to the identity on an identity hosting platform. Based on the response from the server and the identity provider, access to the resource is granted or denied.

  • Patent number: 12285391
    Abstract: The present invention provides a non-surgical method for treating prolapsed hemorrhoids. The first step is to clean the anus and surrounding areas, preferably with soap and warm water. The second step is to apply a powder that increases friction and dries the surface of the hemorrhoid. The third step is to gently push the prolapsed hemorrhoid back through the anal sphincter. After reinsertion, the drying effect of the powder prevents the hemorrhoid from prolapsing again by sufficiently increasing the friction to prevent passage through the anus. Held internally, the hemorrhoid shrinks, increasing user comfort.

  • Publication number: 20250028684
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer implemented method for managing generated files, including receiving a file template creation request from a client device and generating a file template with static content data and dynamic content markers. A file creation request is received and a file is generated from the file template. The file is stored in non-volatile memory accessible by a server. A deletion-triggering event is detected, and in response, the file is deleted from the non-volatile memory. This method provides efficient management of generated files, allowing for the creation and deletion of files based on user requests and system events.

  • Publication number: 20220401968
    Abstract: A vacuum unit includes a debris tank receiving wet or dry waste. A multi-cyclone separator is coupled to an outlet of the debris tank. The multi-cyclone separator receives the wet or dry waste from the debris tank and the multi-cyclone separator includes a plurality of cyclones. A filter is coupled to the outlet of the multi-cyclone separator and receives exhaust airflow from the multi-cyclone which then flows onto the blower or fan and is vented external to the vacuum unit.
