Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for reporting multiple events associated with mitigating usage-based disturbance are described. In an example aspect, a memory device can report to a memory controller various events associated with mitigating usage-based disturbance. This includes notifying the memory controller of events associated with a first event category and alerting the memory controller of events associated with a second event category. For events associated with the first event category, there can be a smaller risk of an alert condition occurring if the memory controller does not take action. For events associated with the second event category, there can be a larger risk of an alert condition occurring if the memory controller does not take action. By reporting these multiple events by category, the memory device empowers the memory controller to take appropriate action and efficiently manage available resources for mitigating usage-based-disturbance.

Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing collision avoidance for bank-shared circuitry that supports usage-based disturbance mitigation are described. A memory device includes bank-shared circuitry coupled to multiple banks. The bank-shared circuitry can support usage-based disturbance mitigation. By using the bank-shared circuitry to service multiple banks, the memory device can have a smaller footprint and can be cheaper to manufacture compared to other memory devices with circuitry dedicated for each bank. To avoid conflicts associated with some sequences of commands that may relate to a same bank or different banks and utilize the bank-shared circuitry, the memory controller applies an appropriate timing offset (or delay) between commands. The timing offset allows the memory device time to finish utilizing the bank-shared circuitry for usage-based disturbance mitigation prior to utilizing the bank-shared circuitry in accordance with a subsequent command.

Abstract: Single (1T) and multi (MT) memory cell architectures may be included in a same memory array. In some embodiments, the individual memory cells of the MT memory cells may have a same polarity. In some embodiments, the individual memory cells of the MT memory cells may have complementary polarity. In some examples, digit lines at memory mats and edge memory mats may be folded for MT memory cells. In some examples, digit lines may be rerouted through local input-output line breaks for the MT memory cells. In some examples, the LIO lines from the MT memory cells may be twisted. In some examples, larger sense amplifiers may be used for the MT memory cells.

Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques are described implementing power-efficient monitoring for usage-based-disturbance mitigation. In a first aspect, a memory device takes a less strict approach for monitoring worse-case conditions associated with usage-based disturbance. In particular, the memory device conserves power by foregoing updating a list of rows associated with worse-case conditions until an unlisted row has a substantially worse condition than any one of the listed rows. This decreases how often the memory device expends power to update the list. In an optional second aspect, the memory device performs a partial bit-width comparison operation to evaluate the “substantially worse” criterion. The partial bit-width comparison enables a comparator to be implemented with a smaller footprint and operate with less power as compared to a comparator that is capable of performing a full bit-width comparison operation.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for assessing a mental state of a subject in a single session or over multiple different sessions, using for example an automated module to present and/or formulate at least one query based in part on one or more target mental states to be assessed. The query may be configured to elicit at least one response from the subject. The query may be transmitted in an audio, visual, and/or textual format to the subject to elicit the response. Data comprising the response from the subject can be received. The data can be processed using one or more individual, joint, or fused models. One or more assessments of the mental state associated with the subject can be generated for the single session, for each of the multiple different sessions, or upon completion of one or more sessions of the multiple different sessions.

Abstract: Described apparatuses and methods relate to a bank-level self-refresh for a memory system. A memory device can include logic that implements self-refresh operations in the memory device. The logic may perform self-refresh operations on a set of banks of the memory device that is less than all banks within the memory device. The set of banks of the memory device may be determined such that the peak current in a power distribution network of the memory device is bounded when the self-refresh operation is performed. Accordingly, bank-level self-refresh can reduce a cost of the memory device of a memory system by enabling use of a less complicated power distribution network. The bank-level self-refresh may also be implemented with different types of refresh operations. Amongst other scenarios, bank-level self-refresh can be deployed in memory-expansion environments.

Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing shareable usage-based disturbance circuitry are described. Shareable usage-based disturbance circuitry includes circuits (e.g., shared circuits) that manage usage-based disturbance across at least two sections of a bank of memory within a die of a memory device. In example implementations, the shareable usage-based disturbance circuitry includes a counter circuit and/or an error-correction-code circuit that is coupled to sense amplifiers associated with two neighboring sections. With the shareable usage-based disturbance circuitry, dies within the memory device can be cheaper to manufacture, can consume less power, and can have a smaller footprint with less complex signal routing compared to other dies with other circuits dedicated to mitigating usage-based disturbance within each section.

Abstract: Microphone signals of a primary headphone are processed and either a first transparency mode of operation is activated or a second transparency mode of operation. In another aspect, a processor enters different configurations in response to estimated ambient acoustic noise being lower or higher than a threshold, wherein in a first configuration a transparency audio signal is adapted via target voice and wearer voice processing (TVWVP) of a microphone signal to boost detected speech frequencies in the transparency audio signal, and in a second configuration the TVWVP is controlled to, as the estimated ambient acoustic noise increases, reduce boosting of, or not boost at all, the detected speech frequencies in the transparency audio signal. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Described apparatuses and methods provide system error correction code (ECC) circuitry routing that segregates even sense amp (SA) line data sets and odd SA line data sets in a memory, such as a low-power dynamic random-access memory. A memory device may include one or more dies, and a die can have even SA line data sets and odd SA line data sets. The memory device may also include ECC circuitry comprising one or more ECC engines. By segregating the data sets, instead of coupling even and odd SA line data sets to a single ECC engine, double-bit errors on a single word line may be separated into two single-bit errors. Thus, by utilizing system ECC circuitry routing in this way, even a one-bit ECC algorithm may be used to correct double bits, which may increase data reliability.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for initializing an activation count during a soft post-package repair (sPPR). After packaging, it may be necessary to perform post-package repair operations on rows of the memory. During an sPPR operation, an address of an original row of memory may be associated with an open repair address instead, such as when the original row is determined to be damaged or defective. When the repair row is associated with the original row, it may be necessary to initialize an activation count associated with the repair row to prevent unnecessary refresh operations occurring on the repair row and adjacent rows.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to determining an elevator car position within an elevator shaft using radar-based distance measurements and a plurality of radar reflectors positioned along the elevator shaft. In one aspect, an example method is provided. The method includes associating a height segment of the elevator shaft with each of the plurality of radar reflectors. The method further includes selecting a target reflector from the plurality of radar reflectors based at least in part on an initial height of the elevator car being within a height segment associated with the target reflector. The method further includes determining an inferred position of the elevator car within the elevator shaft based at least in part on determining a radar-based distance measurement to the target reflector. The radar reflectors may be positioned such that at least one radar reflector is optimally detectable by a dynamically-positioned radar transceiver of the elevator car.

Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing usage-based-disturbance alert signaling are described. The technology allows usage-based-disturbance (UBD) alerts to be externally communicated from a memory device without a dedicated external interface. Rather, UBD alerts are combined with memory error/alert signals and communicated on a shared alert-related interface. UBD tracking occurs at the memory bank level, with corresponding independent UBD alert signals. These signals are efficiently combined to generate an overall UBD alert. A temporary backoff signal is generated when an overall UBD alert is sent. The backoff signal ensures requisite external timing parameters are met while allowing the individual memory banks to generate persistent UBD alerts.

Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing aspects of a time-varying threshold for usage-based disturbance mitigation. In an example aspect, usage-based disturbance circuitry of a memory device utilizes a threshold that varies over time for detecting conditions associated with usage-based disturbance. By utilizing the time-varying threshold, the usage-based disturbance circuitry can reduce a probability of a waterfall event causing a denial-of-service (DOS) situation. In particular, the time-varying threshold can spread out the refreshing of rows over a longer time period. This enables the memory device to have sufficient resources to service other memory requests while also mitigating usage-based disturbance. In example implementations, the threshold is at least partially randomized, which can make it challenging for a malicious actor to identify and overcome the usage-based disturbance mitigation techniques.

Abstract: An event-based simulator enables designers and developers to optimize performance and power for neural network model execution on accelerators and full-stack computing systems. The simulator decomposes neural network models into tasks, simulates dispatch, completion, and dependencies using task queues, and advances simulation time according to predetermined task durations. Events recorded during simulation provide performance statistics and metrics, while activity factor sampling estimates power consumption. Extending simulation to the entire system stack allows end-to-end analysis of deep neural network execution in multi-threaded environments with multiple pipelines and varying quality-of-service levels for different models. Performance metrics such as latency, throughput, deadline-miss rate, and utilization are derived from event data points collected across different system stack levels.
