  • Patent number: 10073664
    Abstract: A system for providing print device dynamic status indicator feedback includes a print device, and a status indicator feedback unit. The print device includes a print engine and one or more status monitors. The status indicator feedback unit includes a display device, a light emitting module, a processor in communication with the light emitting module, and a computer-readable medium containing programming instructions. The system may receive information corresponding to one or more current machine states of the print device from the one or more status monitors of the print device, determine a priority level associated with each of the one or more current machine states, identify a machine state associated with a highest priority level, identify a dynamic feedback pattern associated with the identified machine state. The dynamic feedback pattern includes a visual pattern. The system may and instruct the light emitting module to emit the visual pattern.

  • Patent number: 6166958
    Abstract: There is disclosed a memory cell which has a diffusion layers constituting source/drain areas formed on a p-type silicon substrate surface, and a channel area formed between the diffusion layers. Above the channel area, an insulating film of a laminated structure is formed of a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film and a silicon oxide film. A gate electrode is formed on the upper surface of the insulating film of the laminated structure. The gate electrode is used as a word line. Moreover, an interlayer insulating film is formed between the diffusion layer and the gate electrode. By injecting hot electrons from the substrate to the silicon nitride film in the insulating film of the laminated structure, data is written. The silicon nitride film and the diffusion layer are partially overlapped in a vertical direction, and an offset portion is disposed between the silicon nitride film and the diffusion layer.
