Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided comprising a technology engine designed to facilitate indirect medical consultation with health care providers and create a medical record of this indirect consultation event. In one embodiment is provided a method and apparatus for capturing electronically one or more of the following: (a) patient complaints; (b) health care provider's impression/review; (c) health care provider/patient discussion of complaint symptoms following which a treatment plan is formulated regarding health care strategy; (d) any prescription issued by the health care provider; and/or (e) a set of follow-up visits by the patient.
Abstract:
An apparatus may include a processor circuit a processor circuit to retrieve data from a non-volatile memory, and a multistrobe read module operable on the processor circuit to set a read operation to read a memory cell over a multiplicity of sense operations, where each sense operation is performed under a different sense condition. The multistrobe read module may be further operable to schedule a new sense operation to succeed a prior sense operation of the multiplicity of sense operations without recharge of the wordline when a value of one or more read condition is within a preset range. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
An apparatus may comprise a controller to retrieve data from a non-volatile memory, and an error correction module operable on the controller to read a memory cell of the non-volatile memory at a first set of sense conditions comprising a multiplicity of sense conditions. The error correction module may be further operable to set a first set of bits in an encoded output, the first set of bits comprising a logical state bit to indicate a logical state of the memory cell and one or more additional bits in the encoded output to indicate accuracy of the logical state bit based upon results of the read at the first set of sense conditions, the first set of sense conditions comprising a greater number than that of the first set of bits. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
A multi-level cell memory device performs a read by providing a stepped voltage waveform on a wordline, and comparing cell currents to a substantially constant reference current. Prior to the application of the stepped voltage waveform, the wordline may share charge with another circuit node.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention describe methods, systems and apparatuses to improve solid state device (SSD) write speed by efficiently utilizing error correction code executed for the device. SSDs may be comprised of several NAND memory devices. It is understood that such devices tend to have a raw bit error rate (RBER) that is related to the program/erase cycle count for the device. Embodiments of the invention efficiently use system ECC by changing the operating conditions of the SSD to better utilize the robustness of the implemented ECC algorithm. For example, embodiments of the invention may alter the programming voltage supplied to an SSD to increase write speed; such an increase may increase the RBER of the device, but will not affect the accuracy of such operations due to the ECC that is provisioned for end of life storage fidelity (i.e., the RBER that will occur at the end of life).

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of and apparatus for determining a composite video services stream comprising one or more video services for delivery across a digital subscriber loop. In some embodiments, the invention relates to a method of and apparatus for receiving a video service representation in a video services representation stream. In particular, embodiments of the invention enable a composite video services stream comprising one or more video services for delivery across a digital subscriber loop to be determined. Each video service is made available in a plurality of video service representations each having a different bit rate, the plurality of video service representations of a video service having aligned segment boundaries. The required video services for delivery across the digital subscriber loop are dynamically determined as well as the bandwidth available for delivery of the composite video services stream. One of the plurality of video service representations of a required video service for delivery across the digital subscriber loop is selected depending on at least the bandwidth available for the composite video services stream. If any video service request relates to a non-real-time video service, the non real-time video services stream may be buffered and the buffered video services stream may be sent at an actual transfer rate that depends on the residual bandwidth available for transfer of the video service representation after bandwidth is allocated to higher priority video services. A video service representation having a nominal transfer rate may be received at an actual transfer rate that may be higher than, or lower than, the nominal transfer rate and the transfer is discontinued at the determination of the end of the video services representation stream.
