Abstract:
A method includes controllably generating a first bias voltage from a supply voltage to be within an upper tolerable limit of an operating voltage of one or more constituent active circuit element(s) of an Input/Output (IO) core device of an integrated circuit (IC) to be interfaced with an IO pad, and controllably generating a second bias voltage from an external voltage supplied through the IO pad to be within the upper tolerable limit of the operating voltage of the one or more constituent active circuit element(s) of the IO core device to be interfaced with the IO pad. The method also includes controllably utilizing a control signal generated by the IO core to derive an output bias voltage from the first bias voltage during a driver mode of operation or the second bias voltage during a failsafe mode of operation and a tolerant mode of operation.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a technique for achieving reliable delivery of bulk data from a single origin to multiple destinations such that the origin only sends the data once to the network, without waiting for the destinations to be connected to the network. The data is delivered from the network to each destination, thereby creating a point-to-multipoint connection between the origin and the destination. To achieve such data delivery, both the origin and each delivery site execute site connection-manager software that allows the origin and the intended destinations to create the needed connections to facilitate data delivery and the network switches execute a network connection manager. Once the origin transmits the data and receives an acknowledgement from the network, the origin disconnects and does not wait for actual receipt by each destination. The destinations are referred to as “late” on two instances. One instance occurs when the destination connects to the network after the origin has already begun sending data to the network. The other instance occurs when the destination connects to the network after the origin has sent all the data to the network and the origin is disconnected from the network.
Abstract:
A safety intravenous cannula and catheter device is disclosed. The device permits easy insertion of a cannula made of a biocompatible material into the vein with a guide needle and withdrawal of the guide needle into a safety chamber with an in- built locking mechanism with completely prevents removal and/reuse of the needle. The needle before insertion is protected by a biocompatible sheath which when inserted into the vein and after withdrawal of the needle acts as catheter. Similarly, after withdrawal the needle is locked inside a safety chamber in such a manner that at no time does the user come into contact with the needle or in any danger of accidental injury.
Abstract:
A high voltage input receiver using low voltage transistors is disclosed. In one embodiment, an input receiver circuit includes a comparator circuit and an inverter circuit. The comparator circuit includes a differential input module for generating a control signal by comparing an external voltage and a reference voltage, and a decision module for generating an inverter input signal based on the control signal. In addition, the reference voltage is used to set dc trip point of the input receiver. Moreover, the input receiver includes one or more stress protection modules to protect key components of the input receiver from exceeding their reliability limits.
Abstract:
A method for optimizing memory usage required for processing a digital image by using Minimum Coded Entity Group (MCEG) information obtained during parsing, decoding or encoding the image is provided. An MCEG is formed by processing two consecutive coded entities (Minimum Coded Units (MCUs)) of an image. The MCEG information includes distances between start positions of each MCEG from a preset location, relative distance between coded entities within an MCEG and at least four DC values. DC values of a first coded entity within an MCEG are reconstructed by using stored DC values. For a second coded entity within an MCEG, stored predictor DC values are added to decoded differential DC values to get actual values and the actual values are used for MCU reconstruction. To process a portion of an image, a closest MCEG is determined and the corresponding MCU is directly accessed and decoded using the MCEG information.

Abstract:
An injection nozzle for cooling and providing counter pressure to a neck of a preform during a forming of a container from the preform. The injection nozzle includes a manifold that defines a receiving space into which the neck of the preform is received. A cavity is also defined in a part by an inner wall and an outer wall of the manifold and a plurality of ports are provided through the inner wall to communicate the cavity with the receiving space. When a cooling medium is received into the cavity, the cooling medium is directed through at least some of the ports toward the neck of the preform located within the receiving space.
