  • Patent number: 12237017
    Abstract: A block erase method for a flash memory is provided. The block erase method is to perform block erase on a block with a predetermined block size. The block erase method includes: performing an erase verification on bytes byte-by-byte in the block when performing the block erase; checking an erase step of the byte when the byte does not pass the erase verification; when the erase step of the byte exceeds a predetermined threshold value, performing the block erase with a partitioned block smaller than the predetermined block size, and returning to an erase verification stage to perform the erase verification; and when the erase step of the bytes does not exceed the predetermined threshold value, continuing to perform the block erase with the predetermined block size, and returning to the erasure verification stage to continue to perform the erase verification.

  • Publication number: 20240194338
    Abstract: An auxiliary assessment method for cardiac function performed by a computing unit includes collecting a number of heartbeats and an amount of movement of a subject in a period of time; and calculating a distance per beat to assess cardiac function of the subject. The distance per beat is defined by dividing the amount of movement by the number of heartbeats. A length of the period of time is defined between at least two adjacent heartbeats. The amount of movement corresponds to a cumulative amount of movement in the period of time.

  • Patent number: 10726890
    Abstract: A resistive memory apparatus including a memory cell array and a voltage selector circuit is provided. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cells. The voltage selector circuit is coupled to the memory cell array. The voltage selector circuit performs a voltage applying operation on the memory cells via a plurality of different signal transmission paths. Each of the signal transmission paths passes one of the memory cells. IR drops of two of the signal transmission paths are substantially identical, and signal transmission directions thereof are different. In addition, an operating method of a resistive memory apparatus is also provided.

  • Patent number: 5848636
    Abstract: A cooler includes a stationary side plate, a plurality of cooling pipes, a housing and an inlet and outlet cap. The cooling pipes are contained winding around in the housing, with one ends connected with the side plate closed up with the inlet and outlet cap to let A cover is fixed on an upper wall of the housing near the side plate and a hole provided in the upper wall to let hot oil coming from an oil tube fixed in the side plate to flow in the housing to move up and down along separating plates provided vertically in such a way to form an up-and-down passageway for hot oil to be cooled down and flow out of an oil exit in the bottom of the housing.

  • Patent number: 5225252
    Abstract: A glass vacuum flask coating method comprising a step to put a metal material in the gap between an inner flask and an outer flask before said inner and outer flasks being formed into a blank for a glass vacuum flask, after the process of exhausting and tipping-off said metal material being heated by a magnetic field generated from an inductance coil into a metal vapor inside said gap, permitting said metal vapor to be adhered to the glass surface inside said gap, forming into a metal reflecting film thereon.
