  • MULTI-LEVEL RECOVERY READS FOR MEMORY
    Publication number: 20190303236
    Abstract: Read operations are performed in a memory device which efficiently provide baseline read data and recovery read data. In one aspect, on-die circuitry, which is on a die with an array of memory cells, obtains recovery read data before it is requested or needed by an off-die controller. In another aspect, data from multiple reads is obtained and made available in a set of output latches for retrieval by the off-die controller. Read data relative to multiple read thresholds is obtained and transferred from latches associated with the sense circuits to the set of output latches. The read data relative to multiple read thresholds can be stored and held concurrently in the set of output latches for retrieval by the off-die controller.

  • Distributing variable entropy ephemeral security credentials across channels of variable assurance
    Patent number: 10333946
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for distributing and verifying ephemeral security credentials of variable entropy across channels of communication of variable levels of security assurance. In one embodiment, a security credential is generated for a user account. A subset of a set of communication channels associated with the user account is determined based at least in part on respective measures of entropy and/or security assurance corresponding to individual ones of the set of communication channels. The security credential is divided into multiple portions. A corresponding portion of the portions is sent across individual channels of subset of channels. A client computing device is authenticated for access to the user account based at least in part on receiving the portions of the security credential.

  • Multimodal Particles for Retention and Drainage for Paper-Making Machines
    Publication number: 20190106840
    Abstract: A colloidal silica solution which includes two or more colloidal silica compositions or suspensions having differing particle sizes and specific surface areas, the compositions or suspensions resulting in a multimodal particle size distribution in which the solution or suspension can be bimodal in nature and composed of, but not limited to, particles with a mode of 4 nm and 20 nm or composed of particles 7 nm and 12 nm. The solution or suspension can also be trimodal and composed of, but not limited to, 4 nm, 7 nm and 15 nm or 3 nm, 5 nm, and 20 nm. The solution or suspension can also include other multimodal systems which would give superior water drainage and fiber and ash retention on paper machines. The colloidal silica solution is a drainage and retention aid in the making of paper.

  • Multi-electrode electrochemical cell and method of making the same
    Patent number: 10236493
    Abstract: A multi-electrode device that includes an anode electrode, a cathode electrode, and a gate electrode situated between the anode and cathode, and having an electrolyte. The multi-electrode device can be a secondary (rechargeable) electrochemical cell. The gate electrode is permeable to at least one mobile species which is redox-active at at least one of the anode and cathode. The gate electrode has a resistance that is lower than that of a conductive non-uniform morphological feature that could be grown on the anode. The gate electrode provides the ability to avoid, recognize, and remove the presence of such non-uniform morphological features, and provides an electrical electrode that can be used to remove such non-uniform morphological features.

  • VALIDATING SIGN-OUT IMPLEMENTATION FOR IDENTITY FEDERATION
    Publication number: 20190012454
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for validating that relying parties of a federated identity provider have correctly implemented sign-out functionality. In one approach, a network page is received from a network site that is operated by a relying party of a federated identity provider. It is then determined whether the network page includes code that properly implements a sign-out from the federated identity provider. An action is initiated in response to determining that the network page does not include code that properly implements the sign-out from the federated identity provider.

  • SEPARATING APPARATUS AND VACUUM CLEANER
    Publication number: 20180368640
    Abstract: A separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner has a first separating unit and a second separating unit movable between a first position and a second position with respect to the first separating unit. The separating apparatus has a collection chamber having an end wall movable between a closed position for collecting debris separated by the first separating unit, and an open position for removal of debris collected by the collection chamber. Movement of the second separating unit from the first position to the second position causes movement of the end wall from the closed position to the open position, and movement of the second separating unit from the second position to the first position causes movement of the end wall from the open position to the closed position.
