  • Patent number: 11955165
    Abstract: A memory system includes dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) components that include interconnected and redundant component data interfaces. The redundant interfaces facilitate memory interconnect topologies that accommodate considerably more DRAM components per memory channel than do traditional memory systems, and thus offer considerably more memory capacity per channel, without concomitant reductions in signaling speeds. Each DRAM component includes multiplexers that allow either of the data interfaces to write data to or read data from a common set of memory banks, and to selectively relay write and read data to and from other components, bypassing the local banks. Delay elements can impose selected read/write delays to align read and write transactions from and to disparate DRAM components.

  • Publication number: 20240104036
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein describe technologies of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) components for high-performance, high-capacity registered memory modules, such as registered dual in-line memory modules (RDIMMs). One DRAM component may include a set of memory cells and steering logic. The steering logic may include a first data interface and a second data interface. The first and second data interfaces are selectively coupled to a controller component in a first mode and the first data interface is selectively coupled to the controller component in a second mode and the second data interface is selectively coupled to a second DRAM component in the second mode.

  • Patent number: 11919780
    Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing molybdenum and tungsten oxyhalide compounds which are useful in the deposition of molybdenum and tungsten containing films on various surfaces of microelectronic devices. In the process of the invention, a molybdenum or tungsten trioxide is heated in either a solid state medium or in a melt-phase reaction comprising a eutectic blend comprising alkaline and/or alkaline earth metal salts. The molybdenum or tungsten oxyhalides thus formed may be isolated as a vapor and crystallized to provide highly pure precursor compounds such as MoO2Cl2.

  • Patent number: 9846007
    Abstract: A monitoring apparatus and system for recording, differentiating, and reporting the discharge of firearms. The monitoring apparatus can be mounted to a firearm and may be automatically activated when the firearm is drawn from a holster thus enabling the monitoring apparatus to record information such as sound, video, location, time, and the like. The apparatus may use this information to differentiate between shots fired by the firearm and shots fired by other firearms. The device may report this distinction to a remote computer configured to receive updates from the weapon mounted apparatus in real time. The remote computer may display the information on a user interface such as a map display, and/or distribute the information according to rules defining how the information should be processed.

  • Publication number: 20170204565
    Abstract: Creping adhesives and methods for making and using same are provided. The creping adhesive can include a first thermosetting polyamidoamine-epihalohydrin resin that includes a reaction product of a first epihalohydrin and a first polyamidoamine containing one or more secondary amine groups, a first thermoplastic polyamidoamine-epihalohydrin resin that includes a reaction product of a second epihalohydrin and a second polyamidoamine containing one or more secondary amine groups, and one or more re-wetting agents. The first thermosetting polyamidoamine-epihalohydrin resin can have a weight average molecular weight of about 800,000 to about 1,200,000 and a molar ratio of the first epihalohydrin to the secondary amine groups of about 0.002:1 to about 0.1:1. The first thermoplastic polyamidoamine-epihalohydrin resin can have a weight average molecular weight of about 40,000 to about 200,000 and a molar ratio of the second epihalohydrin to the secondary amine groups of about 0.001:1 to about 0.1:1.
