Abstract: An example method of performing memory access operations comprises: receiving a request to perform a memory access operation with respect to a set of memory cells connected to a wordline of a memory device; identifying a block family associated with the set of memory cells; determining, for each logical programming level of a plurality of logical programming levels, a corresponding default block family error avoidance (BFEA) threshold voltage offset value associated with the block family; determining a value of a data state metric associated with the set of memory cells; responsive to determining that the value of the data state metric satisfies a threshold criterion, determining, for each logical programming level of a plurality of logical programming levels, a corresponding sub-BFEA threshold voltage offset value; and performing the memory access operation by applying, for each logical programming level of the plurality of logical programming levels, a combination of the default BFEA threshold voltage value

Abstract: A dropout recloser is capable of in accordance with its operating programming after a predetermined number of fault interrupting operations, e.g., 1, 2, 3 or more but typically 3, to drop out of a cutout and hang freely in a hinge contact of the cutout providing sectionalization with an observable visible gap. The recloser includes fault interrupting and reclosing components, a drop out mechanism and a controller. The drop out mechanism may include a bi-stable actuator to affect fault interrupting operation and dropout operation. The device may include motion limiting structures. The recloser may have a number of operating modes or sequences.

Abstract: An ice making assembly includes an ice mold including two or more separable portions that collectively define one or more mold cavities. Each of the mold portions define a plurality of recessed passages that at least partially surround the mold cavity and are configured to receive evaporator conduit of a sealed refrigeration to cool the ice mold and facilitate formation of an ice billet.

Abstract: An electric ice press is provided herein and may be utilized to reshape an initial ice billet into a sculpted ice nugget. The electric ice press may include a mold body having a first mold segment and a second mold segment movable relative to each other. Each mold segment may define a heater cavity that is configured for receiving a ceramic annular heater for heating the mold body to form the sculpted ice nugget.

Abstract: An ice making assembly includes an ice mold and a pump assembly for urging an ice-building spray into the ice mold to form an ice billet. A controller operates the pump assembly to provide the ice-building spray at a first flow rate until the ice billet reaches a predetermined thickness and then operates the pump assembly to provide the ice-building spray at a second flow rate that is less than the first flow rate.

Abstract: An ice maker may include an assembly frame, an ice tray, a cam, a splash cover, and a biasing spring. The ice tray may define a cell for receipt of water for freezing and may be rotatably attached to the assembly frame to rotate about an axial direction. The cam may be attached to the ice tray and extend along the axial direction. The splash cover may be slidably attached to the assembly frame in mechanical communication with the cam to move between an elevated position and a lowered position according to a rotational position of the cam. The biasing spring may be disposed on the splash cover and urge the splash cover to the lowered position.

Abstract: A C-type tubing cutter is described that accommodates and cuts a range of tubing or workpiece sizes. The cutter includes a radially positionable roller carriage that can be selectively positioned in one of several predetermined positions corresponding to different tubing sizes. The cutter also includes a trigger that can be engaged with the roller carriage to lock the carriage in a desired position. Certain versions of the cutters also utilize arcuate slots or tracks along which a cutter wheel is positionable.
