ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,494,801, issued on Dec. 9, was assigned to Micron Technology Inc. (Boise, Idaho).

"Iterative bit flip decoding utilizing different bit flip states" was invented by Mustafa N. Kaynak (San Diego) and Mariano Burich (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A codeword is received and stored in a first data structure to be decoded by flipping one or more of a plurality of bits over multiple iterations by a bit flip decoder, an error check is executed on the codeword, by a controller, to identify error bits from the plurality of bits, and the state of an error bit is flipped from one of the identified error bits if parity check (PC) violations...
