    Abstract: A method evaluating threshold of a data cell in a memory device including a programming locus coupled with the data cell for receiving a programming signal setting a stored signal level in the data cell and responding to a read signal to indicate the stored signal at a read locus; includes the steps of: (a) in no particular order; (1) selecting a test threshold signal; and (2) setting a read signal at a non-read level; (b) applying the test threshold signal to the programming locus; (c) cycling the read signal between a read level and a non-read level while applying the test threshold signal to the programming locus to present at least two test signals at the read locus when the read signal is at the read level; and (d) while cycling, observing whether the at least two test signals manifest a difference greater than a predetermined amount.

    Abstract: An integrated side-entry sub with grease injection flow tubes is adapted for making up in a drill string and includes a port to receive a cable, such as a wire line. A first pedestal, mounted within a cutout of the side entry sub, provides entry for the cable into the entry port. The first pedestal receives a first flow tube, which couples to a lower connector manifold. The lower connector manifold further provides a grease injection port. A second flow tube, coupled to the lower connector manifold, runs to an upper connector manifold. The upper connector manifold further provides an grease return port, as well an the entry point for cable into the sub.

    Abstract: A programmable voltage regulator configurable for reverse blocking and double power density is disclosed herein. The programmable voltage regulator includes an error amplifier that couples to receive a reference voltage. A first NMOS pass transistor connects between an auxiliary voltage input node and the output terminal of the voltage regulator, wherein the first NMOS pass transistor is biased by the output of the error amplifier. Connected between the source of the first NMOS pass transistor and the second input of the error amplifier, a feedback network provides feedback for the voltage regulator. A second NMOS pass transistor connects between the first power supply and the auxiliary voltage input node. Furthermore, an independent node control circuit biases the second NMOS pass transistor such that in a first mode of operation, a first control signal input is operable to receive a signal for controlling the second NMOS pass transistor during reverse battery condition. In a second mode of operation, independent node control circuit includes a second control signal input that is operable to couple to the output terminal of the error amplifier while simultaneously the first power supply rail is operable to couple to the output terminal of the voltage regulator to provide double power density.

    Abstract: In a new process for preparing pulped wood chips for paper making, chips from a hardwood such as eucalyptus are inoculated with aliving culture of one or more white rot fungi. The fungi propagate throughout the body of the wood chip, selectively attacking the lignin of the wood without harming the cellulosic fibers. Subsequent mechanical pulpting results in reduced utilization of energy, improved strength, and reduced cooking time.
