orphan date January 2010 Memory types A RAM , Advanced Random Access Memory is a new DRAM memory based on single transistor capacitor less cells. A RAM was invented in 2009 at the University of Granada , UGR Spain in collaboration with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique , CNRS France . It was conceived by Dr. Noel Rodriguez UGR , Prof. Francisco Gamiz UGR and Prof. Sorin Cristoloveanu CNRS . A RAM is compatible with single gate Silicon on insulator SOI , double gate, FinFETs and multiple gate FETs MuFETs . The conventional 1 Transistor 1 Capacitor DRAM is extensively used in the semiconductor industry for manufacturing high density dynamic memories. Beyond the 45 nm node, the DRAM industry will need new concepts avoiding the miniaturization issue of the memory cell capacitor. The 1T DRAM family of memories, where the A RAM is included, replaces the storage capacitor for the floating body of SOI transistors to store the charge.

Memory types Thyristor RAM T RAM is a new type of dynamic random access memory DRAM computer memory invented and developed by T RAM Semiconductor , which departs from the usual designs of memory cells, combining the strengths of the DRAM and static random access memory SRAM high speed and high volume. This technology, which exploits the electrical property known as negative differential resistance and is called thin capacitively coupled thyristor ref http www.t ram.com technology index.html Description of the technology ref , is used to create memory cells capable of very high packing densities. Due to this, the memory is highly scalable, and already has a storage density that is several times higher than found in conventional six transistor SRAM memory. It was expected that the next generation of T RAM memory will have the same density as DRAM. It is assumed that this type of memory will be used in the next generation processors by AMD , produced in 32nm and 22nm ref http www.businesswire.com portal site home permalink ?ndmViewId news view&newsId 20090518005181 Business Wire GlobalFoundries may use T RAM in AMD next generation processors ref , replacing the previously licensed but unused Z RAM technology.

In operation a slice of de aired clay body is placed in between two shaped porous moulds, and vertical movement of the moulds presses the body into the required shape. History The RAM Process of molding was invented and patented in the mid 1940s by Keith Blackburn and Richard Steele, two ceramic engineering graduates from Ohio State University OSU . Harold Dawson, another OSU graduate and co owner of a small machining company, developed and built the first RAM Press shortly thereafter in Columbus, Ohio . Blackburn and Steele licensed the RAM process and press for a decade, then sold their company to the Wallace Murray Corp. RAM Products Inc. of Columbus, Ohio was organized in 1979 and now manufactures the RAM press. Other uses The phrase ram press in lower case commonly means the same thing it is simply used for machines that press items by a mechanical ram, such as with a plunger , piston , force pump , or hydraulic ram .

Bharat Ram October 15, 1914 July 11, 2007 was an India n industrialist who built Delhi Cloth Mills DCM . Mr. Bharat Ram hails from the renowned business family of Delhi, the owner of the famous Shri Ram Group and DCM with a legacy of more than 100 years beginning from his father Sir Lala Shri Ram. Born in Delhi Ram graduated in Economics from St. Stephen s College, Delhi . After his graduation, he joined Delhi Cloth and General Mills Co Ltd now DCM Ltd in 1935 as an apprentice and rose to the position of chairman and managing director in 1958. He had also set up Shri Ram Fertilizers. In 1989 there was the three way split among three sons Murli Dhar, Charat ram, and Bharat Ram of the Lala Sri Ram family. Bharat Ram saw to it that it was an amicable split and all got their rightful share. Bharat Ram, it seems, had anticipated that the ambitions of all his three sons Vinay, Arun and Vivek could not be accommodated within DCM. So, he had set up Shriram Fibres now known as SRF Ltd way back in 1970. His family member Manju Bharat Ram founded the The Shri Ram School in July 1988 under the aegis of SRF Ltd. and now the SRF Foundation. Bharat Ram, the last surviving son of Sir Shri Ram, died in a Delhi hospital on July 11 2007 night, two months after his younger brother, Lala Charat Ram. His son, Mr. Arun Bharat Ram is now the owner of the famous Shri Ram Group and DCM.
