Abstract:
An intraocular pressure detecting device includes an image capturing unit, a processor, and a pressure detection unit. The image capturing unit, coupled to the image capturing unit, is capable of acquiring an eye image. According to the eye image, the processor can determine an intraocular pressure detection area. After the pressure detection unit detects the intraocular pressure detection area, the intraocular pressure is calculated by the processor of the intraocular pressure detecting device.
Abstract:
A data inputting apparatus includes a plurality of keyswitches, an optical module, a sensing module and a processing module. The keyswitches are disposed on the data inputting apparatus. The optical module is disposed on a first side of the data inputting apparatus and is used for emitting a plurality of lights along a first direction, and the lights are corresponding to the keyswitches respectively. The sensing module is disposed on a second side opposite to the first side and is used for receiving the lights and generating a sensing result. The processing module is coupled to the sensing module. When one of the keyswitches is pressed, one of the lights is blocked by the pressed keyswitch resulting in the sensing module adjusting the sensing result, and the position of the pressed keyswitch is determined by the processing module based on the sensing result.
Abstract:
An optical touch apparatus is disclosed. The optical touch apparatus comprises a light emitting module, a noise suppressing module, a light sensing module, and a processing module. The light emitting module emits at least one sensing beam, and the at least one sensing beam comprises a plurality of sensing rays. If an emitting angle of a specific sensing ray among the plurality of sensing rays toward a light sensor of the light sensing module is larger than a default value, the noise suppressing module will block the specific sensing ray from emitting into the light sensor. After the light sensing module generates a sensing result according to the condition of the light sensing module receiving the at least one sensing beam, the processing module will determine the position of a touch point according to the sensing result.

The memory building blocks can be used in conjunction with ASIC automatic design tools to generate a memory macro (e.g., a memory array) using a known ASIC design flow including, for example, register transfer level (RTL), synthesis, automatic place and route (APR) and timing analysis.
Abstract:
A SRAM READ and WRITE assist apparatus comprises a bit line voltage tracking block, a READ assist timer, a READ assist unit, a WRITE assist unit a WRITE control unit. The bit line voltage tracking block detects a voltage on a tracking bit line coupled to a plurality of tracking memory cells. In response to the voltage drop on the tracking bit line, the READ assist timer generates a READ assist pulse. When the READ assist pulse has a logic high state, an activated word line is pulled down to a lower voltage. Such a lower voltage helps to improve the robustness of SRAM memory circuits so as to avoid READ and WRITE failures.

Abstract:
A memory comprises a row of bit cells, including a first plurality of bit cells and a second plurality of bit cells. A first word line segment driver is connected to the first plurality of bits cells. A second word line segment driver is connected to the second plurality of bits cells. The first and second word line segment drivers are selectively operable for activating one of the first and second pluralities of bit cells at a time to the exclusion of the other plurality of bit cells. A shared sense amplifier is coupled to at least one of the first plurality of bit cells and at least one of the second plurality of bit cells. The shared sense amplifier is configured to receive signals from whichever of the one first or second bit cell is activated by its respective word line segment driver at a given time.
Abstract:
A memory access operation on a bit cell of a digital memory, e.g., a static random access memory (SRAM), is assisted by reducing the word line control voltage for reading and boosting it for writing, thus improving data integrity. The bit cell has cross coupled inverters for storing and retrieving a logic state via bit line connections through a passing gate transistor controlled by the word line. A level of a word line signal controlling the passing gate transistor is shifted from a first voltage value to a higher second voltage value to begin a memory access cycle. The level of the word line signal is shifted from the second voltage value to a third voltage value less than the second voltage value during the access cycle. The word line signal is maintained at the third voltage value for a time interval during the access cycle.
Abstract:
The propagation delay of a signal through multiple load devices coupled sequentially along a conductor is improved by separating a subset of the load devices that is more distant from the signal source, and coupling the more distant subset to the signal through a fly-over conductor that bypasses the subset that is nearer to the signal source. The technique is applicable to subsets of bit cells in a random access memory (SRAM) coupled to a given word line, or to word line decoder gates coupled sequentially to a strobe signal, as well as other circuits wherein load devices selectable as a group can be divided into subsets by proximity to the signal source. In an SRAM layout with multiple levels, different metal deposition layers carry the conductor legs between the load devices versus the fly-over conductor bypassing the nearer subset.
