  • Patent number: 12644700
    Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for detecting the tightness state of a bolt or nut under inspection. A sensor is mounted on the bolt or nut. Another sensor is mounted on a structure. A first angle of the bolt or nut is calculated. A second angle of the structure is calculated. The initial angle difference between the first and second angles is calculated when the bolt or nut is tight. A subsequent angle difference between the first and second angles is calculated during the inspection. Using the initial angle difference and the subsequent angle difference, the screwed-out angle of the bolt or nut is obtained. Then, the tightness state of the bolt or nut is determined based on the screwed-out angle.

  • Publication number: 20260134930
    Abstract: Technology for programming memory cell transistors to operation region dependent current states. The memory cell transistors may include NAND memory cells. Programming memory cell transistors to a current state may include applying a programming voltage to control gates of the respective memory cells transistor and then verifying the respective memory cells. Verifying may include applying a verify reference voltage to the memory cell transistors and testing their respective currents with respect to a target current state. The same verify reference voltage may be used for all current states. The spacing between the current states depends on whether the memory cell transistor is operating in the sub-threshold region or linear region. The spacing between current states in the linear region may be linear; however, the spacing between current states in the sub-threshold region may be exponential. In-memory compute may be performed using the programmed memory cells.
