In accordance with at least one embodiment, a method and apparatus for improving the ability to correct errors in memory devices is described. At least one embodiment provides a way to salvage the part even it has double-bit or multi-bit error from the same ECC section, thus improving product reliability and extending the product lifetime. During a normal read, if a double-bit or multiple-bit error happens, which ECC can detect but cannot fix, the error is corrected by adjusting the read voltage level and reading again to determine the proper read level (and, therefore, the correct value being read). This dynamic read scheme can apply to extrinsic bits from either erase state or program state. It can be also used in a single bit scenario to minimize ECC occurrence and save ECC capacity.

The process of the present invention significantly increases the durability of superhydrophobic surfaces, while retaining similar optical properties to those of the original surface. The process uses velocity and heat to take freshly formed nano- and ultrafine particles and can partially embed and chemically bond them to the substrate, creating a strongly bonded nano-to-submicron textured surface. This nanotextured surface can then be modified to have desirable surface properties; for example, it can be hydrophobic, oliophobic, or hydrophilic. The high points of the coating made with this process protect the remainder of the surface from abrasion, thus greatly increasing product life in many uses. In preferred embodiments, the process is used to coat transportation vehicle windshields.

A power converter reduces output ripple without using an electrolytic primary-side capacitor that can reduce product lifetime. Primary-Side Regulation (PSR) using an auxiliary winding provides a regulated secondary voltage with some low-frequency ripple on a secondary winding of a transformer. A smaller secondary capacitor that is not an electrolytic capacitor filters the output of the secondary side. A bang-bang controller controls the secondary side current to reduce current ripple despite voltage ripple. The bang-bang controller has a series resistor and inductor in series with a load such as an LED. A voltage drop across the series resistor increases when a switch turns on. This increasing voltage drop toggles the switch off once an upper limit voltage is reached. The voltage drop then decreases as inductor current is shunted by a diode, until the voltage drop reaches a lower limit voltage and the switch toggles on again.
