The slow contents (e.g., e.g., digital books, digital maps, music, movies, and/or videos) are stored in large memory blocks and/or large memory arrays, whereas the fast contents (e.g., operating systems, software, and/or games) are stored in small memory blocks and/or small memory arrays. | 10-15-2015 |
20150181386 | Location-Based Prefetch and Participant-Based Prefetch - To reduce the mobile data usage, information associated with future events is prefetched via an inexpensive mass-data transfer link (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or off-peak mobile broadband) and does not need to be fetched via an expensive mobile communication link (e.g., mobile broadband) during normal usage. Location-based prefetch and participant-based prefetch can leverage the existing infrastructures of location-based services (LBS) and social networking services (SNS). Because they provide a more reliable prediction of future events than those guessed from past events, schedule events managed by a calendaring application is primarily used to predict future events. | 06-25-2015 |

20130061108 | Self-Repair System and Method - The present invention discloses a self-repair system for three-dimensional mask-programmed read-only memory (3D-MPROM). Most of the 3D-MPROM data are not checked in the factory, but checked and repaired in the field. This self-repair system comprises a playback device with a re-writable memory (RWM). The RWM temporarily stores new contents. After a user receives a 3D-MPROM card storing the same contents, the playback device checks the 3D-MPROM data. When bad data are detected, the good data to replace the bad data are fetched from the RWM. | 03-07-2013 |
20130061100 | Field-Repair System and Method - With increasing capacity, testing of three-dimensional mask-programmed read-only memory (3D-MPROM) becomes too time-consuming and expensive. Accordingly, the present invention discloses a field-repair system. Most of the 3D-MPROM data are not checked in the factory, but checked and repaired in the field. The field-repair system comprises a playback device with a communicating means. The playback device checks the 3D-MPROM data as they are read out. When bad data are detected, the good data to replace the bad data are fetched from a remote server with the communicating means. The remote server stores at least a copy of the content being read. | 03-07-2013 |
20130060880 | Hybrid Content-Distribution System and Method - The present invention discloses a hybrid content-distribution system. It uses two types of memory to distribute contents: re-writable memory (RWM) and three-dimensional mask-programmed read-only memory (3D-MPROM). During a publication period, new contents are transferred from a remote server to the RWM. At the end of the publication period, a user receives a 3D-MPROM, which stores a collection of the transferred contents. To make room for the contents to be released during the next publication period, the contents common to the 3D-MPROM and the RWM are deleted from the RWM afterwards. | 03-07-2013 |
20130059425 | Imprinted Memory - The rising mask cost would make mask-ROM economically un-viable below 90 nm. The present invention discloses an imprinted memory, more particularly a three-dimensional imprinted memory (3D-iP). It uses imprint-lithography (also referred to as nano-imprint lithography, or NIL) to record data. The data-template used by imprint-lithography is much less expensive than the data-mask used by photo-lithography. | 03-07-2013 |
20130058147 | Three-Dimensional Writable Printed Memory - The present invention discloses a three-dimensional writable printed memory (3D-wP). It comprises at least a printed memory array and a writable memory array. The printed memory array stores contents data, which are recorded with a printing means; the writable memory array stores custom data, which are recorded with a writing means. The writing means is preferably direct-write lithography. To maintain manufacturing throughput, the total amount of custom data should be less than 1% of the total amount of content data. | 03-07-2013 |
20130058146 | Three-Dimensional Offset-Printed Memory - The present invention discloses a three-dimensional offset-printed memory (3D-oP). Compared with a conventional three-dimensional mask-programmed read-only memory (3D-MPROM), it has a lower data-mask count and thereby a lower data-mask cost. The mask-patterns for different memory levels/bits-in-a-cell are merged onto a multi-region data-mask. At different printing steps, a wafer is offset by different values with respect to said data-mask. Accordingly, data-patterns are printed into different memory levels/bits-in-a-cell from a same data-mask. | 03-07-2013 |
20130056881 | Discrete Three-Dimensional Memory - The present invention discloses a discrete three-dimensional memory (3D-M). It is partitioned into at least two discrete dice: a memory-array die and a peripheral-circuit die. The memory-array die comprises at least a 3D-M array, which is built in a 3-D space. The peripheral-circuit die comprises at least a peripheral-circuit component, which is built on a 2-D plane. At least one peripheral-circuit component of the 3D-M is formed in the peripheral-circuit die instead of in the memory-array die. The array efficiency of the memory-array die can be larger than 70%. | 03-07-2013 |
20130056798 | Three-Dimensional Printed Memory - As technology scales, the mask cost rises sharply. It was generally believed that three-dimensional mask-programmed read-only memory (3D-MPROM) would become economically un-viable. The present invention discloses a three-dimensional printed memory (3D-P). It is a type of 3D-MPROM and uses shared data-masks to print data. By forming the mask-patterns for a plurality of distinct mass-contents on a same data-mask, the share of the data-mask cost on each mass-content is significantly reduced. For mass publication, the minimum feature size of the 3D-P is preferably less than 45 nm. | 03-07-2013 |
