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.

Abstract: A preparation method of a particle hydrogel includes: mixing a gelatin nanoparticle, a calcium carbonate nanoparticle, an iron oxide nanoparticle, and a sodium alginate solution under alkaline conditions, and adding GDL to produce the particle hydrogel with improved mechanical properties, which is abbreviated as Ca-Alg/MCG.

Magnetic nanoparticles endow the particle hydrogel with magnetothermal responsiveness. Thus, the particle hydrogel can undergo a rapid temperature rise under an alternating magnetic field to further kill tumor cells.

Abstract: An injectable and temperature-responsive enhanced composite dual-network magnetic particle gel is a hydrogel, including a particle gel network formed by gelatin nanoparticles and Fe3O4 nanoparticles via an electrostatic interaction and a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM)-based temperature-sensitive polymer gel network. At room temperature, the hydrogel exhibits excellent shear-thinning and self-healing properties, and is easily injectable through needles and microcatheters. When raised to a human body temperature (37° C.), the temperature-sensitive polymer undergoes phase transition cross-linking, enhancing mechanical properties of the gel network. The hydrogel is injectable in vitro and exhibits temperature-responsive strengthening in vivo, meeting the requirements of a vascular interventional embolization material. The hydrogel can also generate magnetothermal heating under an alternating magnetic field, thereby achieving the embolization combined with magnetothermal therapy for liver cancer.

Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing usage-based disturbance mitigation counter control are described. In some examples, a mitigation counter controller manages mitigation of usage-based disturbances by mitigating one or more wordlines in a memory device that have been disturbed. The mitigation counter controller may access a usage-based disturbance counter by activating a single sub wordline driver in the wordline, where the usage-based disturbance counter is associated with usage-based disturbances of the wordline. Activation of a single sub wordline driver to access the usage-based disturbance counter may reduce power consumption and may simplify the design of the memory device.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for implementing bank-shared usage-based disturbance circuitry are described. Bank-shared usage-based disturbance circuitry is coupled to the at least two banks of a memory device and can mitigate usage-based disturbance within these banks. To detect a condition associated with usage-based disturbance, the bank-shared usage-based disturbance circuitry selectively reads data associated with usage-based disturbance from one of the at least two banks. To mitigate usage-based disturbance, the bank- shared usage-based disturbance circuitry can selectively cause one or more rows within either of the at least two banks to be refreshed. By using the same circuitry to mitigate usage-based disturbance across multiple banks, the total footprint, complexity, and power consumption of the memory device can be reduced relative to other memory devices that utilize circuitry that is dedicated for each bank.

Abstract: This disclosure describes aspects of memory die interconnections to physical layer interfaces (PHYs) that may enable expanded channel bus width and improved signal integrity (SI). In aspects, a memory die is operably coupled to a first PHY via a command-and-address (CA) bus and data input/output (DQ) bus of the first PHY and to a second PHY via a chip select (CS) bus of the second PHY. The second PHY may provide a CS signal to the memory die, and the first PHY can perform a training procedure via CA signaling or DQ signaling. The training procedure may improve SI between the memory die and the PHYs. Additionally, a memory die may be interconnected to different PHYs to expand a channel bus width. Thus, by interconnecting memory dies to one or more PHYs as described herein, improved SI and expanded channel bus width can be achieved.
