  • Detection of an incorrectly located read voltage
    Patent number: 11049582
    Abstract: A memory device to program a group of memory cells to store multiple bits per memory cell. Each bit per memory cell in the group from a page. After determining a plurality of read voltages of the group of memory cells, the memory device can read the multiple pages of the group using the plurality of read voltages. For each respective page in the multiple pages, the memory device can determine a count of first memory cells in the respective page that have threshold voltages higher than a highest read voltage, among the plurality of read voltages, used to read the respective page. The count of the first memory cells can be compared with a predetermined range of a fraction of memory cells in the respective page to evaluate the plurality of read voltages (e.g., whether any of the read voltages is in a wrong voltage range).

  • Memory System Performance Enhancements using Measured Signal and Noise Characteristics of Memory Cells
    Publication number: 20210181942
    Abstract: A memory sub-system configured to improve performance using signal and noise characteristics of memory cells measured during the execution of a command in a memory component. For example, the memory component is enclosed in an integrated circuit and has a calibration circuit. The signal and noise characteristics are measured by the calibration circuit as a byproduct of executing the command in the memory component. A processing device separate from the memory component transmits the command to the memory component, and receives and processes the signal and noise characteristics to identify an attribute about the memory component. Subsequently, an operation related to data stored in the memory component can be performed based on the attribute.

  • Compute an optimized read voltage
    Patent number: 11024401
    Abstract: A memory device to determine a voltage optimized to read a group of memory cells by reading the group of memory cells at a plurality of test voltages, computing bit counts at the test voltages respectively, and computing count differences in the bit counts for pairs of adjacent voltages in the test voltages. When a smallest one in the count differences is found at a side of a distribution of the count differences according to voltage, the memory device is configured to determine a location of an optimized read voltage, based on a ratio between a first count difference and a second count difference, where the first count difference is the smallest in the count differences, and the second count difference is closest in voltage to the first count difference.

  • Seal and sacrificial components for a drill string
    Patent number: 10934784
    Abstract: A gap joint for use with a gap sub for electromagnetic telemetry. The gap joint has a replaceable uphole shoulder on the male gap joint component, which may be composed of a sacrificial material, to extend gap joint useful life where there is electrolysis of the component outside diameter. The gap joint also has a thicker outside diameter seal to reduce the risk of underlying O-ring extrusion and failure, again extending gap joint useful life.
