  • Patent number: 9293209
    Abstract: An operating method of a semiconductor memory device includes performing a first read operation on main cells of a first page with an initial read voltage, performing a second read operation on the main cells of the first page with a read voltage corresponding to a read retry number when the number of error bits generated as results of performing the first read operation exceeds the number of error-correctable bits, and storing the read retry number in spare cells of the first page while the second read operation is performed, and repeatedly performing the second read operation and repeatedly storing the read retry number until the number of error bits generated as results of performing the second read operation becomes the number of error-correctable bits or less.

  • Patent number: 9145027
    Abstract: A wheel bearing assembly includes an outer race in which a plurality of rows of track portions are formed at an inner side thereof; a hub that is coaxially disposed with the outer race to be rotatably disposed in the outer race; an inner race that is engaged with a portion of an outside surface of the hub to rotate together with the hub; a first roller that is interposed between the hub and the outer race to be rolled; and a second roller that is interposed between the inner race and the outer race to be rolled.

  • Patent number: 8982638
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device and a method of operating the same perform a program loop, including a program operation and a program verification operation based on a sub-verification voltage smaller than a target verification voltage and the target verification voltage, to the memory cells until a threshold voltage of the memory cells is greater than the target verification voltage. A positive voltage, supplied to the bit line of the memory cell of which the threshold voltage is higher than the sub-verification voltage, is increased whenever the program operation is performed, and thus a threshold voltage distribution of the memory cells may be improved.

  • Patent number: 7826273
    Abstract: A first verify voltage is applied to a word line of a selected memory cell, after a bit line is precharged, to program-verify the memory cell in a nonvolatile memory device. A first read evaluation operation for changing a voltage of the bit line is performed. Results of the first read evaluation operation are sensed using a first sensing voltage. A second read evaluation operation for changing the voltage of the bit line is performed again. Results of the second read verify operation are then sensed using the first sensing voltage.
