ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 15 -- Gevorg Torjyan, Albert Harutyunyan and

Valery Vardanian, all from Yerevan, Armenia, and Yervant Zorian

of Santa Clara, Calif., have developed an apparatus, a method,

and a system to allocate redundant components with subsets of the

redundant components.

 

According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In general,

various methods, apparatuses, and systems are described in which

logic executes, in series, a plurality of repair algorithms to

generate a repair signature for a memory. The memory has a full set

of redundant components associated with the memory. At least one or

more of the repair algorithms employ a subset of redundant components

that contains less than all of the redundant components in the full

set when attempting to generate the repair signature."

 

The inventors were issued U.S. Patent No. 7,149,921 on Dec. 12.

 

The patent has been assigned to Virage Logic Corp., Fremont, Calif.

 

The original application was filed on

Sept. 6, 2002, and is available at:
