20100259996 | System and method for providing low cost high endurance low voltage electrically erasable programmable read only memory - A system and method are disclosed for increasing the reliability of a channel erase procedure in an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) memory cell. A memory cell of the present invention comprises a program gate, a control gate, and a floating gate that erase data using a channel erase procedure. An erase capacitor is coupled to the floating gate to provide a low voltage bias that decreases the voltage that is required to perform a Fowler-Nordheim erase process in the memory cell. The erase capacitor of the present invention is formed without adding a step in the manufacturing process of the memory cell. Memory cells of the present invention are low cost, high endurance, low voltage memory cells. | 10-14-2010 |
20110215419 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING CMOS COMPATIBLE NON VOLATILE MEMORY RETENTION RELIABILITY - A system and method is disclosed for improving complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible non volatile memory (NVM) retention reliability in memory cells. A memory cell of the invention comprises a backend layer that reduces charge leakage from a floating gate of the memory cell. A first bottom portion of the backend layer is formed from a first layer of silicon oxynitride having a low value of defect/trap density. A second top portion of the backend layer is formed from a second layer of silicon oxynitride having a high value of defect/trap density. The first layer of silicon oxynitride inhibits electron transport and the second layer of silicon oxynitride protects CMOS devices from plasma induced damage. | 09-08-2011 |

20150144300 | Recirculating Bath With Global Voltage Compatibility - A recirculating bath includes a main power input configured to receive an alternating current and a heating element that is selectively coupled to the main power input. The heating element is selectively coupled to the main power input in response to an activation signal having a duty cycle. The duty cycle of the activation signal is determined based on a voltage of the alternating current, with the duty cycle being reduced in response to an increase in the voltage of the alternating current. The heating element is thereby de-rated at higher alternating current voltages. A power unit coupled to the main power input provides direct current having a voltage independent of the alternating current voltage to portions of the recirculating bath, such as direct current motors coupled to a compressor and recirculating pump. The recirculating bath is thereby configured to operate with a range of alternating current voltages. | 05-28-2015 |

20120023773 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THERMAL GRADIENT CONTROL IN THIN SHELL STRUCTURES - The present invention reduces thermal stresses in a rotating, foraminous thin-shelled roll for drying permeable and semi-permeable webs by blocking axial flow of heated air through the axial channel formed between two corrugated layers in the shell. The axial channels extend between spaced-apart, parallel end members each having an inner face, and a plurality of alternating straight thin divider strips and bent thin strips extending axially between and evenly-spaced around the circumference of the inner faces of the end members to form an annular cylinder with radial channels therethrough. Affixing at least one impermeable into a radial channel so that it extends through the radial channel and across at least a portion of the faces of the two tiers of bent strips blocks the axial channel therebetween and prevents the passage of air therethrough to the end member. | 02-02-2012 |
