  • Mixed current-forced read scheme for MRAM array with selector
    Patent number: 11978491
    Abstract: Technology for reading reversible resistivity cells in a memory array when using a current-force read is disclosed. The memory cells are first read using a current-force referenced read. If the current-force referenced read is successful, then results of the current-force referenced read are returned. If the current-force referenced read is unsuccessful, then a current-force self-referenced read (SRR) is performed and results of the current-force SRR are returned. In an aspect this mixed current-force read is used for MRAM cells, which are especially challenging to read.

  • Stented prosthetic heart valve delivery system having an expandable bumper
    Patent number: 11974919
    Abstract: Delivery devices for delivery of a stented prosthetic heart valve. Various delivery devices include an outer sheath assembly including an outer sheath connected to a capsule that is advanced proximally to retain the prosthetic valve, which is secured over an inner shaft assembly of the delivery device. The delivery device further includes a bumper to provide a smooth transition of the capsule over the prosthetic valve during loading and recapture procedures. The bumper is expandable from a first position to a second position in which a distal end of the bumper is expanded to increase its diameter. The bumper can be biased in the second, expanded position so that the bumper automatically transitions to the expanded position upon retraction of the outer sheath.

  • Nerve stimulator and manufacturing method thereof
    Patent number: 11975198
    Abstract: A nerve stimulator and a manufacturing method thereof. The nerve stimulator includes a glass substrate, and a plurality of metal pins provided on the substrate, wherein the metal pins form stimulation portions on one side of the substrate, and the density of the metal pins is greater than 15 Pin/mm2. The stimulation portions in the present nerve stimulator have a high density and a good stimulation effect. The processing method thereof is to cut out a high-density metal pin array first by using a metal underlayer, then the manufacturing method overcomes the deficiency in the prior art that it is rather difficult to manufacture a high density of nerve stimulation electrodes by using other substrates such as ceramics and the like.
