Abstract:
Data is stored in a nonvolatile memory so that different pages of data stored in the same memory cells are encoded according to different encoding schemes. A first page is decoded according to its encoding scheme and an output is provided based on the decoding of the first page that is subsequently used in decoding a second page.
Abstract:
In a nonvolatile memory system a Soft-Input Soft-Output (SISO) decoder corrects errors in data that is read from a memory and a statistical unit connected to the SISO decoder collects data regarding corrections. The statistical unit generates at least one output based on the collected data and at least one operating parameter of the memory is modified in response to the output.
Abstract:
In a nonvolatile memory system, data is read from a memory array and used to obtain likelihood values, which are then provided to a soft-input soft-output decoder. The soft-input soft-output. decoder calculates output likelihood values from input likelihood values and from parity data that was previously added according to an encoding scheme. The likelihood is derived by comparing a measured memory cell voltage with more than one reference voltages.
Abstract:
Data is read from a nonvolatile memory array using one or more read voltages that are adjusted during memory life. Programming target voltages and read voltages may be adjusted together over memory life to map memory states to an increasingly wide threshold window. Individual memory states are mapped to sub-ranges that are made wider, reducing errors.

Abstract:
A system (12a) suitable for use in a speech recognition system or other voice processing system (14) extracts features related to the frequency (46, F) and amplitude (46, A) characteristics of an imput speech signal (IN) using a plurality of complex band pass filters (30) by processing the outputs of adjacent bandpass filters (42).
Abstract:
An input device for use with a computer, and methods of use, are provided which enable a user to specify the motion of a cursor on a computer display, and to specify a variety of parameters, including binary parameters and a continuous two-dimensional parameter. In a first embodiment, a strain-sensitive two-axis control stick (26), used for specifying the continuous two-dimensional parameter, is disposed on a lateral surface of a 'mouse'-style pointing device (20). A rolling ball (25) mechanism is used to detect the motion of the device, which determines the motion of the cursor (2). Push-buttons (22, 24) disposed on a top surface of the device are used to specify binary parameters and activation of commands or actions.
