20090046509 | TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE AND EXTEND ENDURANCE AND RELIABILITY OF MULTI-LEVEL MEMORY CELLS IN A MEMORY DEVICE - A novel technique to improve and extend endurance and reliability of a memory device utilizing multi-level cells is disclosed. As a memory device ages, it's reliability deteriorates. Prior to the memory device becoming completely unreliable, the memory device transitions from a multi-level cell operating mode to a reduced capacity operating mode. When operating in the multi-level cell mode, the memory system stores multiple bits per cell. The memory system stores fewer bits per cell when operating in the reduced capacity. The transition between modes is achieved by setting all bits of a particular memory page to a specific value, for example, either a logic “1” or a logic “0.” | 02-19-2009 |

20100144182 | Connector arrangement for a medium-conducting, electrically-heatable hose - A connector arrangement connects an electrically-heatable hose to a piece of equipment. The connector arrangement is configured as a plug connection wherein the hose has a first plug connector which can be plugged into a mating second plug connector mounted on the piece of equipment. The hose has at least one heater lead embedded in the hose and the heater lead has an end segment brought out of the hose for fitting with the first plug connector. The first plug connector includes a body having an annular housing region defining an end. A connector stub is arranged on the end for receiving an end portion of the hose thereon. An annular receptacle is pushed onto the annular housing region and has a surface and a helical slot formed in the surface. The end segment of the heater lead is helically placed in the helical slot so as to spirally cover over the annular housing region. | 06-10-2010 |

20080264605 | Heater core assembly - A heater core assembly includes a heater core having two tube stubs projecting therefrom. Two heater tubes engage the two tube stubs, respectively, to define respective abutting interfaces therewith. A clamp couples the heater tubes to corresponding ones of the tube stubs. The clamp includes a first bracket half having two arcuately-shaped openings formed therein for accommodating the stub/tube pairs at the abutting interfaces to permit the stub/tube pairs to extend transversely to the clamp. A second bracket half is hinge connected to the first bracket to permit opening and closing of the clamp. The second bracket half likewise has two arcuately-shaped openings to accommodate the stub/tube pairs when the second bracket half is pivoted onto the first bracket half. The clamp snugly holds the stub/tube pairs when closed. The first and second bracket halves have a thickness measured in the longitudinal direction of each of the stub/tube pairs to extend beyond the abutting interfaces. This permits the clamp to hold the stub/tube pairs at both sides of each of the abutting interfaces thereby laterally supporting the stub/tube pairs and preventing bending at the interfaces. A latch latches the first bracket half and the second bracket half to each other when the clamp is closed. | 10-30-2008 |
