Use of 8-bit or higher A/D for NAND cell value

A system and method, including computer software, for storing digital information uses multiple NAND flash memory cells. Each memory cell is adapted to receive charge during a write operation to an analog voltage that corresponds to a data value having a binary representation of more than 4 bits. An analog-to-digital converter converts the analog voltage from each memory cell into a digital representation of the analog voltage during a read operation of each cell.

Wireless Telemetry Auto Tuning For Torque Measurement System

A torque measurement system that includes a rotor device and a stator device can perform automatic tuning to improve the initial tuning performed during design and assembly. The stator device can include a variable capacitive

Vibrational Alarms Facilitated by Determination of Motor On-Off State in Variable-Duty Multi-Motor Machines

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a vibrational sensing system (VSS) including an accelerometer and a data processor, which determines an “operational state” of a mechanical drive unit, the processor further employing the “operational state”

Virtual Mask Fitting System

Apparatus and associated methods relate to determining a fit-quality metric for a mask/face combination based upon a calculated dead-space volume between a virtual mask and a virtual face virtually aligned so as to create an

Voltage Regulator with Piecewise Linear Loadlines

Apparatus and associated methods relate to providing a piecewise loadline having a number of segments with different slopes and selecting a segment of the piecewise loadline based on an output current of a power supply.
