Yousuke Aoyagi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8184480
    Abstract: Methods for operating a nonvolatile memory device including multi-level cells configured to store at least n logic states, where n is equal to or greater than four are provided. The methods may include selecting at least one read voltage for a read operation based on information set at a portion of an address of the respective one of the multi-level cells, and determining multi-level data stored in the respective multi-level cell using the at least one selected read voltage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 9, 2009
    Date of Patent: May 22, 2012
    Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
    Inventor: Yousuke Aoyagi
  • Patent number: 7859866
    Abstract: A DC power source voltage is supplied to a center tap of a primary winding, and first and second semiconductor switches alternately turned on are disposed between each of both ends of the primary winding and a common potential point, and a current flowing through a load is fed back and PWM control of each of the semiconductor switches is performed. Also, snubber circuits are respectively connected between a ground and the center tap of the primary winding, and an abnormal high voltage at the time of switching is reduced. Also, a parallel running of plural inverters is simply performed by disposing PWM comparators corresponding to the first and second semiconductor switches.
