Publication number: 20240111619Abstract: Systems and methods related to serial communication devices are provided. An example integrated circuit (IC) device includes interface circuitry coupled to a two-wire serial communication bus having a serial clock (SCL) line and a serial data (SDA) bus line. The IC device further includes bus stuck recovery circuitry to monitor for a local SDA fault condition at the IC device based on a number of clock cycles during which an internal SDA signal (e.g., generated by the IC device) drives the SDA bus line to a first signal state, the clock cycles based on a clock signal received from the SCL line; and responsive to the local SDA fault condition, release the SDA bus line independent of the internal SDA signal, where the SDA bus line is in a second signal state different from the first signal state based on the release.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventors: Ran TAO, Johan H. MANSSON, Khiem Quang NGUYEN, Long Thanh PHAM, Shane P. KEATING

Patent number: 11941328Abstract: Systems and techniques for auditing computer-aided design documents are described. A described technique includes receiving a computer-aided design document for import to a space management program; determining whether the computer-aided design document violates a rule set, wherein the rule set is configured to detect issues that inhibit importation of data from the computer-aided design document to the space management program; selectively modifying the computer-aided design document by resolving a violation of the rule set; and providing the modified computer-aided design document to the space management program.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Nuvolo Technologies CorporationInventors: Khoa Nguyen Van Ho, Tao Ye, Tejas Yadav

Publication number: 20240078674Abstract: Taking a digital implant or abutment level digital impression by means of intra-oral, computed tomography or other imaging method provides the restorative doctor and laboratory accurate and effective data for determining the implant position, angulation and locking feature orientation without a physical impression. Such data is correlated with a digital library to produce an output which enables design and fabrication of an accurate restorative device such as a prosthetic tooth or crown. In this way the time-consuming, costly and error prone mechanical replication of the relevant dental anatomy is obviated.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: James R. Glidewell Dental Ceramics, Inc.Inventors: Grant Bullis, Tao Nguyen, Greg Minzenmayer

Patent number: 11882774Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a low resistance crosspoint architecture are described. A manufacturing system may deposit a thermal barrier material, followed by a first layer of a first conductive material, on a layered assembly including a patterned layer of electrode materials and a patterned layer of a memory material. The manufacturing system may etch a first area of the layered assembly to form a gap in the first layer of the first conductive material, the thermal barrier material, the patterned layer of the memory material, and the patterned layer of electrode materials. The manufacturing system may deposit a second conductive material to form a conductive via in the gap, where the conductive via extends to a height within the layered assembly that is above the thermal barrier material.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Rajasekhar Venigalla, Patrick M. Flynn, Josiah Jebaraj Johnley Muthuraj, Efe Sinan Ege, Kevin Lee Baker, Tao Nguyen, Davis Weymann
