Abstract:
The technology is a division circuit with decreased circuit area. An embodiment includes an integrated circuit implementing multiplicative division of a dividend input and a divisor input. The integrated circuit includes a lookup table circuit and multiplier circuits. The lookup table circuit providing an approximation of a reciprocal of a divisor input. The multiplier circuits receive the approximation and refine a quotient output of the dividend input and a divisor input. At least one of the multiplier circuits is a squaring circuit implementing multiplication with a reduced number of intermediate partial products. The reduced number of intermediate partial products prevent the squaring circuit from multiplication of any two unequal numbers and limiting the squaring circuit to multiplication of a same number by the same number.

Abstract:
Magnification/reduction is achieved by a single FIR filter under the control of a Digital Differential Analyzer (DDA) as would be used to simulate a perfectly straight line on a two-dimensional raster. The single FIR filter combines the processes of interpolation, filter, and decimation. The DDA is programmed with the desired magnification/reduction ratio and provides signals that control shifting of input samples into the FIR filter and selection of FIR coefficients for the FIR filter.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a method and apparatus for controlling the air flow into an engine. The engine has a wastegate and a choke valve. The method includes the steps of determining an air pressure within the intake manifold and comparing the air pressure to a desired air pressure. A position of the choke valve and wastegate is then determined in response to the comparison. The apparatus includes an air pressure sensor for sensing the actual air pressure within the intake manifold. A controlling means compares the actual air pressure with a desired air pressure and responsively determines a position of the choke valve and the wastegate. A choke valve actuator and wastegate actuator position the choke valve and the wastegate respectively.
