New Methods for Write-Once Memory, Other Memory Devices, and General Error-Correcting Codes

Technology Description

UC San Diego inventors have developed error-correcting codes that allow for double- and triple-error correction. These codes can be applied to communications and memory storage, especially for write-once memory.

Additionally, UC San Diego inventors have developed codes for write-once memory that allows for two writes in an efficient manner. This invention can be applied to make more efficient use of flash memory, or other types of write-once memory devices.
