A data scrubbing apparatus corrects disturb data errors occurring in an array of memory cells such as SMT MRAM cells. The data scrubbing apparatus receives an error indication that an error has occurred during a read operation of a grouping of memory cells within the array of memory cells. The data scrubbing apparatus may generate an address describing the location of the memory cells to be scrubbed. The data scrubbing apparatus then commands the array of memory cells to write back the corrected data. Based on a scrub threshold value, the data scrubbing apparatus writes the corrected data back after a specific number of errors. The data scrubbing apparatus may further suspend writing back during a writing of data. The data scrubbing apparatus provides a busy indicator externally during a write back of corrected data.

A method for testing heat pipes includes the following steps. A plurality of bar-shaped heat pipes having the same size is provided, and the heat pipes are deformed. The deformed heat pipes are placed in a temperature regulator, such that a temperature of the heat pipes is periodically changed between a first temperature and a second temperature. The heat pipes are then taken out of the temperature regulator. One end of each heat pipe is maintained at a third temperature by a thermostatic device, and a heat pipe temperature difference of two opposite ends of the heat pipe is measured. The heat pipes having the heat pipe temperature difference greater than a standard temperature difference in the heat pipes are marked.

A method of removing a hard mask during fabrication of semiconductor devices is provided. A protective layer, such as a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) layer or other dielectric layer, is formed over structures formed on a substrate, wherein spacers are formed alongside the structures. In an embodiment, the structures are gate electrodes having a hard mask formed thereon and the spacers are spacers formed alongside the gate electrodes. A photoresist layer is formed over the protective layer, and the photoresist layer may be patterned to remove a portion of the photoresist layer over portions of the protective layer. Thereafter, an etch-back process is performed, such that the protective layer adjacent to the spacers remains to substantially protect the spacers. The hard mask is then removed while the protective layer protects the spacers.

A network of collection, charging and distribution machines collect, charge and distribute portable electrical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors or ultracapacitors). Locations of collection, charging and distribution machines having available charged portable electrical energy storage devices are communicated to or acquired by a mobile device of a user, or displayed on a collection, charging and distribution machine. The locations are indicated on a graphical user interface on a map on a user's mobile device relative to the user's current location. The user may use their mobile device select particular locations on the map to reserve an available portable electrical energy storage device. The system nay also warn the user that the user is near an edge of the pre-determined area having portable electrical energy storage device collection, charging and distribution machines. Reservations may also be made automatically based on information regarding a potential route of a user.

Methods and systems for evaluating checker quality of a verification environment are provided. In some embodiments, an overall sensitivity for the verification environment and an individual sensitivity for a respective checker are calculated. The overall sensitivity is a probability that a plurality of problematic design behaviors, which are propagated to a checker system including at least one checker, can be detected by the verification environment. The individual sensitivity is a probability that a plurality of problematic design behaviors, which are propagated to at least one specific probe among a plurality of probes of a design, can be detected by the checker corresponding to the specific probe. The overall checker sensitivity numbers can show the robustness of the check system. The individual checker sensitivity can guide the user which individual checker or checkers to improve.

A server cabinet is provided, which not only utilizes a first cooling fluid to flow through a heat exchanger of the cabinet to lower the temperature of entrances of fan modules without wasting additional energy, but also utilizes a cooling fluid pipe set to send a second cooling fluid to heat exchange apparatuses in a server to lower the temperature of heating elements inside the cabinet. The server cabinet could lower the heat dissipating loading of the heat exchanger of the cabinet and achieve the efficiency of saving energy.

A server cabinet structure includes a rack, at least one tray and at least one fixing component. The rack has two opposite frame bars and at least two guide rails correspondingly disposed on the frame bars. The tray is disposed on the two guide rails, and is capable of sliding into the rack. The guide rails are accommodated in recessed portions of the tray exactly. The tray presses against the frame bars through a stop plate. One combining hole of the stop plate is corresponding to an assembly hole of the frame bar. The fixing component passes through the combining hole and the assembly hole, and is inserted into the frame bar, so as to limit and keep the tray inside the rack.
