    摘要: A semiconductor structure for a DRAM is described having multiple layers of arrays of thyristor memory cells with silicon-germanium base regions. Memory cells in a vertical string extending through the layers have an electrical connection to one terminal of the memory cells in that string. Word lines couple the strings together. Each layer of the array also includes bit line connections to memory cells on that layer. Select transistors enable the use of folded bit lines. Methods of fabricating the array are described.

    摘要: A securing pin for securing two structural members that can be used in the assembly of modular furniture. In one embodiment, the securing pin includes a main cylindrical body having an elongated countersink portion positioned at a first end of the main cylindrical body of the securing pin. The first end of the securing pin configured to be secured to a first structural member and a second end of the securing pin configured to be secured to a second structural member. In one embodiment, the second end of the securing pin is secured to the second structural member by a press-fit attachment with a securing split-ring. A fastening device inserted within the elongated countersink portion of the securing pin to secure, and firmly abut, the first structural member to the second structural member.

    摘要: An efficient state-machine-based pattern matching technique processes tokens in an input queue and identifies patterns in the sequence of tokens that match one or more predetermined input patterns without backtracking. Tokens can include data or no data and a time component. The tokens can be a stream of data generated by a sensor, which transforms a physical property into a digital quantity. The pattern matching technique processes the input queue in a single direction, and does not examine any previously examined token. In an implementation, specific patterns to be matched are specified using a state machine, where the state machine is specified in a state table and operates using a state stack.

    摘要: Aspects of DDR and thyristor memory cell RAMs are optimally combined for high-speed data transfer into and out of RAMs. After a Read operation in which data from a selected row of memory cells in an array are latched, a Burst operation selectively moves the latched data from the array or latches external data. At the same time as the Burst data transfer, all the memory cells of the selected row are turned off or on by a write operation. In the following Write-Back & Pre-charge operation, the latched data bits which are complementary to the memory cell state of the Burst write operation are written back into the corresponding memory cells in the selected row. As part of a DDR-like activation cycle, data can be transferred to and from the memory cell array RAM at high-speed.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are used to assess the viability of tissue such as flap tissue. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for assessing the viability of flap tissue includes obtaining an oxygen saturation level associated with a first location on the flap tissue, determining whether the oxygen saturation level is less than a first level, and identifying the first location as having a poor blood supply if the oxygen saturation level is less than the first level.

    摘要: A method and system of creating and managing encryption keys that facilitates sharing of encrypted content. The system may include an information management system with a key management server and a computing device having an encryption service module. The encryption service module detects operations at the computing device and encrypts a document with an encryption key created using user information and a secret.
