  • Publication number: 20240137022
    Abstract: A level-shifter is provided with a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor functions to discharge an internal node responsive to an assertion of an inverted input signal to a first power supply voltage. A second transistor functions to discharge an inverted level-shifter output signal responsive to an assertion of an input signal to the first power supply voltage. An inverter inverts the inverted level-shifter output signal to form a level-shifter output signal that is asserted to a second power supply voltage responsive to the assertion of the input signal.

  • Patent number: 11966448
    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosed technologies pre-fetch search results. Implementations receive first input from a search session of a user device, where the first input includes at least a portion of a search term but does not initiate a search. Implementations determine context data associated with the first input, determine that a combination of the first input and the context data satisfies a pre-fetch threshold, determine intent data based on at least a portion of the context data, generate a search query based on the first input and the intent data, and pre-fetch a first subset of search results based on the search query. In response to a second input received subsequent to the first input, where the second input contains an initiate search signal, implementations initiate rendering of the pre-fetched first subset of search results in the search session at the user device.

  • Patent number: 11955203
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for mitigating memory die misalignment are described. A memory system may receive a command to write data to a memory device including a memory die. The memory system may determine whether the data indicated by the command (e.g., a first set of data) satisfies a threshold size. If the first set of data satisfies the threshold size, the memory system may determine whether data currently in a write buffer aligns with a boundary of the memory die. For example, depending on the data currently in the buffer, adding the first set of data to the buffer may result in die misalignment for the first set of data. To mitigate die misalignment, the memory system may pad data (e.g., add dummy data) to the write buffer, such that the padding aligns the data with the die boundary.
