BACKGROUND Erasable memories may have erasable elements that can become unreliable after a predetermined number of erase cycles. Thus, if one cell is erased dramatically more than other cells, that cell may be prone to earlier failure than the rest o…
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Solid-state memory devices encompass rewritable non-volatile memory devices which may use electronic circuitry for storing data. Currently, solid-state memory devices start replacing conventional storage devices such as ha…
Techniques are presented that include determining, for data to be written to a nonvolatile memory, a location in the nonvolatile memory to which the data should be written based at least on one or more wear metrics corresponding to the location. The…
No one knows exactly why some babies are born prematurely(早产), but some of the smallest premature babies weigh under 1,500 grams. These tiny babies -- called micro preemies -- can't afford to lose an ounce. At Children's National Medical Center in Wa…
