Abstract: Phase change based memory devices and methods for operating such devices described herein overcome the set or reset failure mode and result in improved endurance, reliability and data storage performance. A high current repair operation is carried out in response to a set or reset failure of a phase change memory cell. The higher current repair operation can provide a sufficient amount of energy to reverse compositional changes in the phase change material which can occur after repeated set and reset operations. By reversing these compositional changes, the techniques described herein can recover a memory cell which experienced a set or reset failure, thereby extending the endurance of the memory cell. In doing so, phase change based memory devices and methods for operating such devices are provided which have high cycle endurance.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing feedback from customers, especially feedback which has been posted on social media websites or submitted electronically from a mobile device. Specific social media websites are automatically monitored for comments regarding a specific brand. Customers who posted comments are contacted with an invitation to provide more details regarding the comment. A link to the brand's website or to a specific feedback application is provided to the customer. Once the customer logs in to either the website or the application, the customer can provide more details regarding the comment and this feedback is assigned a ticket. The feedback associated with the ticket is then routed based on the content of the feedback.

Abstract: A server and methods relating to a notification system having a client request gateway for validating client requests and for mapping client requests with transactions. The notification system also has an enterprise interaction engine for receiving the transactions and mapping transactions with interactions. These interactions are sent to applications servers that produce interactions results. Interaction results are then associated with transactions results. Based on the transaction results, notifications are created and sent to members of an audience.

Abstract: A data analysis method for an integrated circuit process is described, for analyzing the results of at least an in-line quality test, a product test and a yield test done to the products of the IC process. The products are divided into a normal group and an abnormal group based on the result of the in-line quality test, and are divided into a qualified group and an unqualified group based on the result of the yield test. A categorization step is performed to define the intersection of the unqualified group and the normal group as a first problematic group and to define the intersection of the unqualified group and the abnormal group as a second problematic group. By analyzing one or both of the two problematic groups, the major yield killer can be identified so that process modification can be made accordingly to improve the yield.
