Publication number: 20240096412Abstract: In a non-volatile memory device, a memory sector is provided. The memory sector includes a plurality of tiles arranged horizontally. Each tile includes a plurality of memory cells arranged in horizontal word lines and vertical bit lines. A pre-decoder is configured to receive a set of encoded address signals to produce pre-decoding signals. A central row decoder is arranged in line with the plurality of tiles, receives the pre-decoding signals and produces level-shifted pull-up and pull-down driving signals for driving the word lines. First buffer circuits are arranged on a first side of each tile. Each of the first buffer circuits is coupled to a respective word line, receives a level-shifted pull-up driving signal and a level-shifted pull-down driving signal, and selectively pulls up or pulls down the respective word line as a function of the values of the received signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicants: STMICROELECTRONICS S.r.l., STMICROELECTRONICS (ALPS) SASInventors: Antonino CONTE, Agatino Massimo MACCARRONE, Francesco TOMAIUOLO, Thomas JOUANNEAU, Vincenzo RUSSO

Publication number: 20200150972Abstract: A method for opportunistically performing an action in a cloud computing system may include detecting a reboot event corresponding to a computing entity in the cloud computing system. The computing entity may be, for example, a host machine in the cloud computing system or a virtual machine in the cloud computing system. The method may also include causing the computing entity to be held in a stopped state and performing the action while the computing entity is being held in the stopped state, thereby eliminating a need to perform the action at a future time subsequent to the reboot event. The nature of the action is such that it would affect the computing entity if the action were performed subsequent to the reboot event. The method may also include causing the computing entity to be started after the action has been performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2018Publication date: May 14, 2020Inventors: Abhay Sudhir KETKAR, Gaurav JAGTIANI, Ajay MANI, Richard Thomas RUSSO, Shweta Balkrishna PATIL, James Cameron WHITE

Publication number: 20200099572Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches alerting a network operator to deteriorated wireless network conditions with granularity and reduced false alerts, including receiving tracked performance indicators (KPIs) for multiple components of voice, data and messaging and accessing a mapping for combining the performance indicators into quality sub-indicators for individual users and into key quality indicators (KQI) for the individual users. This includes smoothing the current KQI measures of performance over time to reduce the impact of brief transitory events, accessing a weekly profile of KQIs, and comparing KQIs for a current time window to past KQIs for a corresponding time window for the individual users operating mobile devices in part of the cellular network that is a focus of interest. Based on the comparing, the disclosed technology includes generating alerts that report out-of-range current KQIs within the focus of interest that are persistently out-of-range for longer than a configurable time.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2018Publication date: March 26, 2020Applicant: SPIRENT COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Peter PENG, Marius ADAMUT, Meenal AGARWAL, Brion FEINBERG, Ovidiu REGHIS, Thomas RUSSO

Patent number: 9582656Abstract: A computing environment in which devices interoperate with a plurality of hardware components. Inconsistencies in user experience when operating devices that may use different components are avoided by generating a signature for the components. The signature may be computed as a function of a first key and one or more parameter values obtainable from the component. The signature and parameter values may be stored in the component's memory, and may be obtainable while the component is in operation as part of the computing device. The device may validate the component by performing at least one function based on the signature, the one or more parameter values obtainable from the component, and a second key, which may or may not be identical to the first key. The device may change its interaction with the component, depending on whether the component was successfully validated.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2011Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Thomas Russo, David Abzarian, Nidhi S.

Patent number: 8364696Abstract: Many integrated development environments provide “intelligent feedback” to developers. Current “intelligent feedback” techniques may not work well with source code files comprising context sensitive programming languages because edits to one place in the code may change the meaning of arbitrary other places in the code, thus requiring additional full semantic parses to maintain correctness of the system. As provided herein, context-free “name” parsing may be performed to support entity candidate recursive semantic parsing in determining the meaning of the entity. A name parse may be performed to build and/or update a name table and a range table comprising names of entities and their positions within a source code file. Upon receiving a request to determine the meaning of a selected entity within the source code file, the tables may be queried to determine entity names and locations that are to be semantically parsed to determine a selected entity meaning.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2009Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mark Lee Hall, Tanveer Ahmed Gani, Richard Thomas Russo, Stephan Thomas Lavavej, Jason Joseph Shirk, Mitchell Warren Slep, Thierry Miceli

Publication number: 20070196033Abstract: New ways to organize and search for digital photos are described. Electronic ink may be written on a photo and associated with the photo or only a portion of the photo. The written ink is recognized and stored as photo file metadata. Once photos and/or photo portions have been annotated with ink, the user may search and organize the photos and/or photo portions based on the ink annotations. The user may be presented with search results that include entire photos that are relevant to the search, and/or just those portions of photos that are relevant to the search. In response to a search request, a set of simultaneously displayed search results may be displayed. Alternatively or in addition, an automated slideshow may be implemented, presenting the search results in a sequential fashion.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2006Publication date: August 23, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Thomas Russo
