Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) memory device and method for reading the same are provided. The device includes memory cell strings each including multiple memory cells. In each memory cell string, a topmost memory cell is connected to a top selection gate connected to a bit line, and a bottommost memory cell is connected to a bottom selection gate. The method includes sequentially programming multiple memory cells in a memory cell string according to a programming sequence; in reading a memory cell, applying a corresponding bit line voltage to the memory cell string according to the programming sequence of the memory cell.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide 3D memory devices and methods for operating the 3D memory devices. In an example, a 3D memory device includes a plurality of memory layers and a dummy memory layer between the plurality of memory layers and a NAND memory string extending through the memory layers and the dummy memory layer. The NAND memory string includes a source, a drain, and a plurality of memory cells at intersections with the plurality of memory layers and between the source and the drain. The 3D memory device also includes a peripheral circuit configured to erase the plurality of memory cells. To erase the plurality of memory cells, the peripheral circuit includes a word line driving circuit configured to apply a positive bias voltage on the dummy memory layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for assembling food products. More particularly, the invention relates to apparatus and methods for associating foodstuff and liquid with a base. Foodstuff may include food items such as meats, vegetables, cheeses, amongst others. Liquids include those food items that have a low viscosities (e.g. sauces, dressings, oils), high viscosities (e.g. peanut butter, frosting), and anything in between. A base can be anything on which foodstuff or liquid may be associated (e.g. bread, cake, cookies, pizza dough, a bowl in which to place foodstuff).
