Each virtual sub-region is configured to include at least the light modulating elements that are able to send a non-trivial amount of light to the respective photodetector during a pattern application period. The virtual sub-regions overlap because many light modulating elements are capable of sending light to more than one photodetector. Whenever a measurement pattern of one virtual sub-region overlaps the measurement pattern of a neighboring virtual sub-region, the two measurement patterns agree by design. Thus, the measurement patterns for the collection of virtual sub-regions combine to form a pattern on the whole modulating array. | 06-19-2014 |

20140254244 | Resistive Random Access Memory (RERAM) and Conductive Bridging Random Access Memory (CBRAM) Cross Coupled Fuse and Read Method and System - By arranging both a conductive and non-conductive resistive memory cell in a cross coupled arrangement to facilitate reading a data state the memory cells can have very small differences in their resistance values and still read correctly. This allows both of the memory cells' resistances to change over time and still have enough difference between their resistances to read the desired data state that was programmed. A pair of ReRAM or CBRAM resistive memory devices are configured as a one bit memory cell and used to store a single data bit wherein one of the resistive memory devices is in an ERASE condition and the other resistive memory devices of the pair is in a WRITE condition. Reading the resistance states of the resistive memory device pairs is accomplished without having to use a reference voltage or current since a trip-point is between the conductive states thereof. | 09-11-2014 |
20140269102 | EEPROM MEMORY CELL WITH LOW VOLTAGE READ PATH AND HIGH VOLTAGE ERASE/WRITE PATH - An electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) cell may include a substrate including at least one active region, a floating gate adjacent the substrate, a write/erase gate defining a write/erase path for performing high voltage write and erase operations, and a read gate defining a read path for performing low voltage read operations, wherein the read path is distinct from the write/erase path. This allows for a smaller read gate oxide, thus allowing the cell size to be reduced. Further, the EEPROM cell may include two independently controllable read gates, thereby defining two independent transistors which allows better programming voltage isolation. This allows the memory array to be drawn using a common source instead of each column of EEPROM cells needing its own source line. This makes the array more scalable because the cell x-dimension would otherwise be limited by each column needing two metal 1 pitches. | 09-18-2014 |
