20140143632 | Method to Extend Data Retention for Flash Based Storage in a Real Time Device Processed on Generic Semiconductor Technology - This invention is a method to extend data retention for FLASH based storage in a real time device embodied in generic semiconductor technology. This invention provides a manner to re-energize the Flash memory array to improve the retention characteristics of the memory without altering the clock cycle determinism of the system. Under certain conditions the Flash memory bit cells will lose their charge/non-charge over time. In this particular FLASH technology, an ECC is used to correct single bit errors within a 32 bit word. If there is time before multiple errors occur within a word, the single error cases are identified and “ReFlashed” to bring the value of the cell back to its “newly” programmed levels. This dramatically improves the long term retention characteristics of the memory while requiring some control logic and an area of non-volatile scratch/status information. | 05-22-2014 |

The two working fluids have respective saturation temperatures that enable the second working fluid to absorb sufficient amounts of heat from the first working fluid vapor to vaporize, while the first working fluid vapor condenses back into a liquid. The second working fluid vapor exits the first condenser via a first conduit and enters a first heat exchanger which places the second working fluid vapor in proximity to a third working fluid. The relative saturation temperatures of the second and third working fluids enables the transfer of sufficient amounts of heat from the second working fluid vapor to cause the second working fluid vapor to condense back into liquid while at least a portion of the third working fluid liquid vaporizes into third working fluid vapor. | 08-07-2014 |

20140240921 | INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM HOUSING HEAT SPREADER - Thermal energy exposed at the outer surface of an information handling system housing is managed by spreading the thermal energy across the housing X and Y axes while restricting heat transfer from the housing at the Z axis. For example, a graphene outer surface couples to an aerogel substrate strengthened by a carbon fiber laminate. The graphene spreads thermal energy that escapes through the housing across the housing outer surface to limit the impact of thermal energy at any particular location, such as proximate to the location of a processor. | 08-28-2014 |
