    摘要: Adaptive write operations for non-volatile memories select programming parameters according to monitored programming performance of individual memory cells. In one embodiment of the invention, programming voltage for a memory cell increases by an amount that depends on the time required to reach a predetermined voltage and then a jump in the programming voltage is added to the programming voltage required to reach the next predetermined voltage. The adaptive programming method is applied to the gate voltage of memory cells; alternatively, it can be applied to the drain voltage of memory cells along a common word line. A circuit combines the function of a program switch and drain voltage regulator, allowing independent control of drain voltage of selected memory cells for parallel and adaptive programming. Verify and adaptive read operations use variable word line voltages to provide optimal biasing of memory and reference cells during sensing.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method is used to correct deviations between a predicted gas excess air ratio and a calculated excess air ratio in a dual fuel engine or other gas fueled compression ignition engine. The method includes determining gas excess air ratio for the engine based at least in part on at least one detected current operating parameter and calculating a predicted exhaust gas oxygen concentration engine based on the predicted gas excess air ratio. A time based filtered predicted exhaust gas oxygen concentration value may then be calculated and compared to a time-based filtered measured exhaust gas oxygen concentration value. The resultant oxygen concentration deviation value may be used to generate a corrected predicted gas excess air ratio.

    摘要: An integrated shipping scheme enables seller users of a third-party payment service to facilitate shipping transactions in connection with payment transactions for items sold by the sellers. Shipping information is automatically gathered and/or entered by the seller via a computer interface hosted by the third-party payment service and sent “behind the scenes” to a selected shipping vendor. The shipping vendor processes the shipping information, and returns shipment data, including data to generate a shipping label. A web page containing the shipping label is then generated and served to a client operated by the seller and displayed on a browser screen, enabling the shipping label to be printed out by the seller. At the same time, electronic payment transfer operations are performed to effectively transfer payment from the seller directly to the shipping vendor via the third-party payment service in a manner that is transparent to both the seller and the shipping vendor.

    摘要: A charge trapping dielectric memory cell array comprises a plurality of parallel bit lines implanted within the lightly doped substrate. The parallel bit lines define a plurality of channel regions spaced there between and form a semiconductor junction there with. A plurality of parallel and spaced apart word lines are positioned above the surface of the substrate and separated from the substrate by a charge trapping dielectric. The plurality of parallel word lines are perpendicularly positioned with respect to the bit lines. Each channel region comprises a central counter doped channel region adjacent to a top surface of the substrate and vertically extending into the channel region to a depth less than the bit line depth and being spaced from each semiconductor junction by a pocket region.

    摘要: Write operations that simultaneously program multiple memory cells on the same word line in an MBPC or MLC non-volatile memory employ word line voltage variation, programming pulse width variation, and column line voltage variation to achieve uniform programming accuracy across a range of target threshold voltages. One type of write operation reaches target threshold voltages during respective time intervals and in each time interval uses programming parameters that optimize threshold voltage resolution for the target threshold voltage corresponding to that interval. During or at the end of write operations or the ends of each interval, remedial programming sequences can adjust the threshold voltages of memory cells that program slowly.

    摘要: Auto-tracking bit line reference schemes have common reference and normal word lines and generate a “½ cell current” reference by providing reference bit lines with pull-up devices having a different effective size from the pull-up devices for bit line or by programming reference cells to different levels. To provide a true “current mirror” connection of the pull-up devices of bit line and one or more reference bit lines, an additional bias bit line causes currents through the pull-up devices for the selected bit line and the reference bit lines to mirror current through the pull-up device for the bias bit line. Embodiments of the invention can be used with binary and multiple-bit-per cell memory and with a variety of sense amplifiers, memory array architectures, and memory cell structures.
