Abstract: Two preferred embodiments provide slot synchronization of an initial cell search. Two Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters are used to correlate the synchronization codes transmitted in the downlink (forward link). A sign bit is taken after the first FIR to significantly reduce the hardware requirements for the second FIR, and thus the whole system. The correlated results from the second FIR can be further processed using two different algorithms. The first adds a square operation to the correlated results whilst the second takes the magnitude before passing to the next stage. Regardless of which algorithm is adopted, the results are accumulated (I and Q), instead of averaged, and stored in a memory location for each successive correlation over the same location in different slots. The physical-layer processor (PLP) then reads the accumulated results from the memory location and searches for the peak position corresponding to the slot boundary.

Abstract translation: 两个优选实施例提供了初始小区搜索的时隙同步。 使用两个有限脉冲响应（FIR）滤波器来关联在下行链路（前向链路）中发送的同步码。 在第一个FIR之后采用符号位，以显着降低第二FIR的硬件要求，从而降低整个系统的硬件要求。 可以使用两种不同的算法进一步处理来自第二FIR的相关结果。 第一个对相关结果添加一个平方运算，而第二个运算在通过下一阶段之前的幅度。 无论采用哪种算法，结果都被累积（I和Q）而不是平均值，并且存储在不同时隙中相同位置上的每个连续相关的存储器位置。 物理层处理器（PLP）然后从存储器位置读取累积的结果，并搜索对应于时隙边界的峰值位置。

Abstract: A memory device includes a pre-charge transistor for connecting/disconnecting the input line of a global data line driver to a supply voltage line. To reduce the flow of current through the pre-charge transistor even in a stand-by state, the pre-charge transistor is turned on when, at a same time, an enabling signal of a page buffer is asserted, and a low voltage functioning mode is selected and the memory device is not in a stand-by state. Alternatively, the memory device may be in a stand-by state but the datum read from the memory is high. The pre-charge transistor is securely turned off in all other cases.

Abstract: In a process for enhancing contrast of an image having pixels in different brightness intensities, a histogram in discrete bins is generated. Each bin represents a pixel population of at least one pixel brightness intensity. A peak and a peak region of the histogram is then identified, wherein the peak region is a range of discrete bins around the peak. An average pixel population within the peak region is computed, and the pixel populations of the discrete bins within the peak region that exceeds the average pixel population are distributed. A transfer curve for mapping onto the image is then generated. The process can be used in an image processor for enhancing contrast of an image having pixel. Still further, a display having a receiver and a screen can include the foregoing image processor.
