    摘要： Systems and methodologies are provided herein for increasing operation speed uniformity in a flash memory device. Due to the characteristics of a typical flash memory array, memory cells in a memory array may experience distributed substrate resistance that increases as the distance of the memory cell from an edge of the memory array increases. This difference in distributed substrate resistance can vary voltages supplied to different memory cells in the memory array depending on their location, which can in turn cause non-uniformity in the speed of high voltage operations on the memory array such as programming. The systems and methodologies provided herein reduce this non-uniformity in operation speed by providing compensated voltage levels to memory cells in a memory array based at least in part on the location of each respective memory cell. For example, a compensated operation voltage can be provided that is higher near the center of the memory array and lower near an edge of the memory array, thereby lessening the effect of distributed substrate resistance and providing increased operation speed uniformity throughout the memory array.

    摘要： Systems and/or methods that facilitate discharging bit lines (BL) associated with memory arrays in nonvolatile memory at a controlled rate are presented. A discharge component facilitates discharging the BL at a desired rate thus preventing the “hot switching” phenomenon from occurring within a y-decoder component(s) associated with the nonvolatile memory. The discharge component can be comprised of, in part, a discharge transistor component that controls the rate of BL discharge wherein the gate voltage of the discharge transistor component can be controlled by a discharge controller component. The rate of BL discharge can be determined by the size of discharge transistor component used in the design, the strength and/or size of the y-decoder component, the number of erase errors that occur for a particular memory device, and/or other factors in order to facilitate preventing hot switching from occurring.

    摘要： A system, method and various user interfaces provide an embedded web-based video player for navigating video playlists and playing video content. A website publisher can create and store a video player with customized parameters (e.g., player type, appearance, advertising options, etc.) and can associate the player with a playlist of selected videos. The stored video player is associated with a player ID in a player database and can be embedded in a website using an embed code referencing the player ID. A user interface for the embedded player provides controls for controlling video playback and for controlling the selection of a video from the playlist.
