  • Patent number: 9478738
    Abstract: A memristor has a first electrode, a second electrode parallel to the first electrode, and a switching layer disposing between the first and second electrodes. The switching layer contains a conduction channel and a reservoir zone. The conduction channel has a Fermi glass material with a variable concentration of mobile ions. The reservoir zone is laterally disposed relative to the conduction channel, and functions as a source/sink of mobile ions for the conduction channel. In the switching operation, under the cooperative driving force of both electric field and thermal effects, the mobile ions are moved into or out of the laterally disposed reservoir zone to vary the concentration of the mobile ions in the conduction channel to change the conductivity of the Fermi glass material.

  • Patent number: 9405485
    Abstract: The system and apparatus for managing flash memory data includes a host transmitting data, wherein when the data transmitted from the host have a first time transmission trait and the address for the data indicates a temporary address, temporary data are retrieved from the temporary address to an external buffer. A writing command is then executed and the temporary data having a destination address are written to a flash memory buffer. When the flash memory buffer is not full, the buffer data are written into a temporary block of the flash memory. The writing of buffer data into the temporary block includes using an address changing command, or executing a writing command to rewrite the external buffer data to the flash memory buffer so that the data are written into the temporary block.
