Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to, among other things, a method of managing a memory device. In some aspects, the method includes determining whether a first address for a page in a first memory region is mapped in a map table, setting a target address as a second address identified in the map table as being mapped to the first address, setting the target address as the first address, determining a number of bits that fail in each word of a plurality of first-layer error correction code (ECC) words for the target address, and adding the target address to the map table, writing-back contents from the target address to a repair address in the first memory region, and updating the map table by mapping the target address to the repair address.

Abstract: The invention proposes the photosensitized generation of nitric oxide (NO) from alanosine (3-(hydroxynitrosoamino)-D,L-alanine) by aluminum phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate (AlPcS4). While NO is obtained in nitrogen-saturated solutions, the invention proposes that both NO and peroxynitrite are produced in air-saturated solutions. Enhancement of NO production occurs in the presence of ubiquinone-0. The invention evidence that NO is produced by the photosensitized oxidation of alanosine. Both NO and peroxynitrite are detected during photoirradiation of AlPcS4 in the presence of 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane (MNP) and hypoxanthine, but not in the absence of hypoxanthine, in air-saturated solutions, where HX is acting as sacrificial electron donor, thus promoting superoxide formation.
