    Abstract: A method for determining a search pattern for use in fractional motion estimation for video compression includes selecting a search center within a current macroblock; selecting a plurality of search points forming a half-pel search pattern surrounding the search center, and further selecting another search point at the search center; calculating a cost value for each search point according to a first cost function; and selecting a quarter-pel search pattern according to the cost values of at least two search points, the half-pel search pattern and the quarter-pel search pattern forming the search pattern. The search pattern is used in a matching process to determine a similarity of the current macroblock to a reference macroblock in a video undergoing compression.

    Abstract: A hinge member includes a rotatable cam element with a first cam face and a slidable cam element with a second cam face associated with the first cam face in such a manner that the second cam face moves away from the first cam face when the slidable cam element is cammed by the rotatable cam element due to an applied external force. A biasing member is connected to the slidable cam element so as to accumulate a returning force when the second cam face moves away from the first cam face and so as to urge the second cam face to move toward the first cam face when the external force ceases to be applied on the rotatable cam element.

    Abstract: An all (111) MTJ stack is disclosed in which there are no transitions between different crystalline orientations when going from layer to layer. This is accomplished by providing strongly (111)-textured layers immediately below the MgO tunnel barrier to induce a (111) orientation therein.

    Abstract: A magnetic element in a spintronic device or serving as a propagation medium in a domain wall motion device is disclosed wherein first and second interfaces of a free layer with a perpendicular Hk enhancing layer and tunnel barrier, respectively, produce enhanced surface perpendicular anisotropy to increase thermal stability in a magnetic tunnel junction. The free layer may be a single layer or a composite and is comprised of a glassing agent that has a first concentration in a middle portion thereof and a second concentration less than the first concentration in regions near first and second interfaces. A CoFeB free layer selectively crystallizes along first and second interfaces but maintains an amorphous character in a middle region containing a glass agent providing the annealing temperature is less than the crystallization temperature of the middle region.

    Abstract: A boron or boron containing dusting layer such as CoB or FeB is formed along one or both of top and bottom surfaces of a free layer at interfaces with a tunnel barrier layer and capping layer to improve thermal stability while maintaining other magnetic properties of a MTJ stack. Each dusting layer has a thickness from 0.2 to 20 Angstroms and may be used as deposited, or at temperatures up to 400° C. or higher, or following a subsequent anneal at 400° C. or higher. The free layer may be a single layer of CoFe, Co, CoFeB or CoFeNiB, or may include a non-magnetic insertion layer. The resulting MTJ is suitable for STT-MRAM memory elements or spintronic devices. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is maintained in the free layer at temperatures up to 400° C. or higher. Ku enhancement is achieved and the retention time of a memory cell for STT-MRAM designs is increased.

    Abstract: Enhanced Hc and Hk in addition to higher thermal stability to 400° C. are achieved in magnetic devices by adding dusting layers on top and bottom surfaces of a spacer in a synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) structure to give a RL1/DL1/spacer/DL2/RL2 reference layer configuration where RL1 and RL2 layers exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), the spacer induces antiferromagnetic coupling between RL1 and RL2, and DL1 and DL2 are dusting layers that enhance PMA. RL1 and RL2 layers are selected from laminates such as (Ni/Co)n, L10 alloys, or rare earth-transition metal alloys. The reference layer may be incorporated in STT-MRAM memory elements or in spintronic devices including a spin transfer oscillator. Dusting layers and a similar SAF design may be employed in a free layer for Ku enhancement and to increase the retention time of a memory cell.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed herein for a reverse-connection STT MTJ element of a MRAM to overcome the source degeneration effect when switching the magnetization of the MTJ element from the parallel to the anti-parallel direction. A memory cell of a MRAM having a reverse-connection MTJ element includes a switching device having a source, a gate, and a drain, and a reverse-connection MTJ device having a free layer, a fixed layer, and an insulator layer interposed between the free layer and the fixed layer. The free layer of the reverse-connection MTJ device is connected to the drain of the switching device and the fixed layer is connected to a bit line (BL). The reverse-connection MTJ device applies the lower IMTJ capability of the memory cell caused by the source degeneration effect to the less stringent IMTJ(AP->P) while preserving the higher IMTJ capability for the more demanding IMTJ(P->AP).
