چکیده

This paper presents a staircase-down SET programming technique for phase-change memories (PCMs). The proposed programming approach allows compensating for spreads in cell physical parameters and obtaining adequately narrow cell distributions, which results in improved read margin. The cell programming curve is experimentally evaluated and discussed. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated by comparing cell distributions obtained on an 8-Mb bipolar junction transistor (BJT)-selected PCM demonstrator by means of a conventional SET box pulse and a staircase-down SET pulse, respectively. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

On Total Edge Irregularity Strength of Staircase Graphs and Related Graphs

Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a connected simple undirected graph with non empty vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). For a positive integer k, by an edge irregular total k-labeling we mean a function f : V(G)UE(G) --> {1,2,...,k} such that for each two edges ab and cd, it follows that f(a)+f(ab)+f(b) is different from f(c)+f(cd)+f(d), i.e. every two edges have distinct weights. The minimum k for which G ...

A Parametric Approach for Solving Multi-Objective Linear Fractional Programming Phase

In this paper a multi - objective linear fractional programming problem with the fuzzy variables and vector of fuzzy resources is studied and an algorithm based on a parametric approach is proposed. The proposed solving procedure is based on the parametric approach to find the solution, which provides the decision maker with more complete information in line with reality. The simplicity of the ...

A goal programming approach for fuzzy flexible linear programming problems

 We are concerned with solving Fuzzy Flexible Linear Programming (FFLP) problems. Even though, this model is very practical and is useful for many applications, but there are only a few methods for its situation. In most approaches proposed in the literature, the solution process needs at least, two phases where each phase needs to solve a linear programming problem. Here, we propose a method t...

Ridesharing in Muscat: Can it be a Sustainable Solution for the Traffic Congestion?

We deal with developing a Decision Support System (DSS) to promote the ridesharing among both students and staff of a big organization. The DSS includes a set of functions that allow the management of the riders’ requests and drivers’ availability and embeds a novel two-phase optimization approach that helps in defining the optimal riders-drivers matching. The first phase consists o...
