  • Publication number: 20230268004
    Abstract: In one example, a method comprises determining a program resolution current value; and setting levels for a programming operation of a plurality of non-volatile memory cells in a neural network array such that a delta current between levels of each pair of adjacent cells in the plurality is a multiple of the program resolution current value.

  • Publication number: 20230223077
    Abstract: A neural network device with synapses having memory cells each having a floating gate and a first gate over first and second portions of a channel region disposed between source and drain regions, and a second gate over the floating gate or the source region. First lines each electrically connect the first gates in one of the memory cell rows, second lines each electrically connect the second gates in one of the memory cell rows, third lines each electrically connect the source regions in one of the memory cell columns, and fourth lines each electrically connect the drain regions in one of the memory cell columns. The synapses receive a first plurality of inputs as electrical voltages on the first or second lines, and provide a first plurality of outputs as electrical currents on the third or fourth lines.

  • Patent number: 11683933
    Abstract: Numerous embodiments for reading a value stored in a selected memory cell in a vector-by-matrix multiplication (VMM) array in an artificial neural network are disclosed. In one embodiment, an input comprises a set of input bits that result in a series of input pulses applied to a terminal of the selected memory cell, further resulting in a series of output signals that are summed to determine the value stored in the selected memory cell. In another embodiment, an input comprises a set of input bits, where each input bit results in a single pulse or no pulse being applied to a terminal of the selected memory cell, further resulting in a series of output signals which are then weighted according to the binary bit location of the input bit, and where the weighted signals are then summed to determine the value stored in the selected memory cell.

  • Patent number: 11682459
    Abstract: Two or more physical memory cells are grouped together to form a logical cell that stores one of N possible levels. Within each logical cell, the memory cells can be programmed using different mechanisms. For example, one or more of the memory cells in a logical cell can be programmed using a coarse programming mechanism, one or more of the memory cells can be programmed using a fine mechanism, and one or more of the memory cells can be programmed using a tuning mechanism. This achieves extreme programming accuracy and programming speed.

  • Publication number: 20230157723
    Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing the seeding of cancerous cells during morcellation of a tissue specimen inside a patient's body and removal of the tissue specimen from inside the patient through a minimally-invasive body opening to outside the patient are provided. One system includes a cut-resistant tissue guard removably insertable into a containment bag. The tissue specimen is isolated and contained within the containment bag and the guard is configured to protect the containment bag and surrounding tissue from incidental contact with sharp instrumentation used during morcellation and extraction of the tissue specimen. The guard is adjustable for easy insertion and removal and configured to securely anchor to the body opening. Protection-focused and containment-based systems for tissue removal are provided that enable minimally invasive procedures to be performed safely and efficiently.
