Assignee:

Seagate Technology LLC - Scotts Valley CA

International Classification:

H01L 29/82
G11C 11/02

US Classification:

257421, 257427, 257E29323, 438 3, 3603242, 365157, 365158

Abstract:

Apparatus and associated method for writing data to a non-volatile memory cell, such as spin-torque transfer random access memory (STRAM). In accordance with some embodiments, a resistive sense element (RSE) has a heat assist region, magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ), and pinned region. When a first logical state is written to the MTJ with a spin polarized current, the pinned and heat assist regions each have a substantially zero net magnetic moment. When a second logical state is written to the MTJ with a static magnetic field, the pinned region has a substantially zero net magnetic moment and the heat assist region has a non-zero net magnetic moment.

US Classification:

707803, 707E17044

Abstract:

In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for providing a team object in association with an object. These mechanisms and methods for providing a team object in association with an object can allow for centralized management of a team in association with an object. For example, members of the team may be automatically identified (e.g. without manual intervention) for receiving notifications in association with an object.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707740, 707E17089

Abstract:

Source values are mapped to new user-defined categories. The new user-defined categories are stored in a new user-defined field. In an embodiment, a user-selection of an existing field is received. Based on a data type of the existing field, a specific mapping interface is displayed. The interface guides the user through specification of the new field and categories, and identification of the source values to map to the new categories.
