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.

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.

Abstract: A sample treatment and molecule analysis cartridge is configured to be mounted in a treatment machine vertically. The cartridge has a sample inlet opening, a fluidic inlet, and a fluidic outlet. The cartridge houses an extraction chamber extending vertically from the sample inlet opening and connected to the fluidic inlet; a waste chamber extending vertically, alongside the extraction chamber; and a collector extending along the extraction chamber and the waste chamber and having a smaller height than the extraction chamber and the waste chamber. A fluidic circuit connects together the extraction chamber, the waste chamber, the collector, the fluidic inlet, and the fluidic outlet, and is configured to connect the fluidic outlet to vent openings of the extraction chamber, the waste chamber, and the collector, and to connect the bottom end of the extraction chamber to the fluidic inlet, the waste chamber, and the collector.

Abstract: An embodiment of an arrangement detects sequences of digitally modulated symbols from multiple sources. The arrangement identifies a suitable set of candidate values for at least one transmitted sequence of symbols and determines for each candidate value a set of sequences of transmitted symbols. The arrangement estimates at least one further set of sequences of transmitted symbols, calculates a metric for each sequence of transmitted symbols, and selects the sequence that maximizes the metric. At the end, a-posteriori bit soft output information for the selected sequence is calculated from the metrics for said sequences. Generally, these calculations are based on the information coming from a channel-state-information matrix and a-priori information on the modulated symbols from a second module, such as a forward error-correction-code (ECC) decoder.

Abstract: Described is an error control method for multilevel memory cells operating with a variable number of storage levels. The method includes: receiving a first information word having k input symbols each in a first base; converting the first information word into a second base by converting the input symbols into input symbols in the second base; encoding the converted first information word into a first codeword having k+n coded symbols in the second base; and writing the first codeword into the multilevel memory cells. The encoding step may include generating a generating matrix and multiplying the first information word by the generating matrix to produce the first codeword.
