Write driver circuit in phase change memory device and method for applying write current
ActiveUS6928022B2Maximize reliabilityReduce the voltage levelSolid-state devicesRead-only memoriesDriver circuitPhase-change memory
A write driver circuit including a plurality of programmable fuses for a phase change memory device in which a write operation is correctly performed even in the case where a current output shift in a write current generation circuit; or in the case where a phase change memory cell having a phase change property shift due to an external factor or due a process change. The write driver circuit includes a write current control unit for outputting a first or second level of voltage selected, by selecting one of a first or second programmable current path, based on whether a first or second selection pulse signal is applied; and a current driving unit for generating a write current controlled by the output voltage of the write current control unit. Each of the first and second programmable current paths includes fuses that can be programmed to adjust their resistance to adjust the respective selected output voltage to compensate for the current output shift in the write current generation circuit or for the phase change memory cell having the phase change property shift.

Statistically qualified neuro-analytic failure detection method and system
InactiveUS6353815B1Accurate and reliable on-lineImprove the level ofSimulator controlDigital computer detailsPeristaltic pumpAnalytic model
An apparatus and method for monitoring a process involve development and application of a statistically qualified neuro-analytic (SQNA) model to accurately and reliably identify process change. The development of the SQNA model is accomplished in two stages: deterministic model adaption and stochastic model modification of the deterministic model adaptation. Deterministic model adaption involves formulating an analytic model of the process representing known process characteristics, augmenting the analytic model with a neural network that captures unknown process characteristics, and training the resulting neuro-analytic model by adjusting the neural network weights according to a unique scaled equation error minimization technique. Stochastic model modification involves qualifying any remaining uncertainty in the trained neuro-analytic model by formulating a likelihood function, given an error propagation equation, for computing the probability that the neuro-analytic model generates measured process output. Preferably, the developed SQNA model is validated using known sequential probability ratio tests and applied to the process as an on-line monitoring system. Illustrative of the method and apparatus, the method is applied to a peristaltic pump system.

Methods and system for processing changes to existing purchase orders in an object-oriented order processing system
In an order processing system, mechanisms and techniques receive a change to an existing order in the order processing system and generate a change order based on the existing order. The change order includes the change to the existing order. The system can then compare the change order to the existing order to generate change order result that indicates differences between a change order in the existing order. The system then provides the change order result to at least one recipient such that the recipient may distinguish the differences between a change order in the existing order. Since a change to an existing order can result in changes other than those specifically specified in the received change, the system of the invention allows a person making the change to be presented with the change order results that convey all of the changes that result to the existing order.

On-line adaptive model predictive control in a process control system
A method of creating and using an adaptive DMC type or other MPC controller includes using a model switching technique to periodically determine a process model, such as a parameterized process model, for a process loop on-line during operation of the process. The method then uses the process model to generate an MPC control model and creates and downloads an MPC controller algorithm to an MPC controller based on the new control model while the MPC controller is operating on-line. This technique, which is generally applicable to single-loop MPC controllers and is particularly useful in MPC controllers with a control horizon of one or two, enables an MPC controller to be adapted during the normal operation of the process, so as to change the process model on which the MPC controller is based to thereby account for process changes. The adaptive MPC controller is not computationally expensive and can therefore be easily implemented within a distributed controller of a process control system, while providing the same or in some cases better control than a PID controller, especially in dead time dominant process loops, and in process loops that are subject to process model mismatch within the process time to steady state.
