Abstract: A linker is described and the method of forming an executable program from object code modules using the linker. The linker uses a linker control language in the form of an ordered sequence of relaxation instructions. The relaxation instructions include a jump relaxation instruction which specifies the instruction count of the relaxation instruction which is subsequently read. In this way, more flexibility can be provided for linkers.

Abstract: A card reader reads data stored on a card. A contact signal is produced whose state is indicative of the presence or absence of electrical contact between the card and the card reader. A high state indicates the presence of electrical contact and a low state indicates the absence of electrical contact. Upon insertion of the card into the card reader, vibrations and other mechanical perturbations of the card cause the state of the contact signal to fluctuate rapidly between high and low states. The state of the contact signal is periodically sampled for a predetermined period of time and the number of samples for which the contact signal was high are counted. If the number of high samples exceeds a threshold then stable electrical contact is deemed to have been established between the card and the card reader and a system reset is performed.

Abstract: A method for processing a video data stream including a series of pixel values corresponding to pixel sites in an electronic imaging device includes the step of filtering the video data stream in real time to correct or modify defective pixel values based on a plurality of neighboring pixel values. The filtering of each pixel value uses a current pixel value as part of a data set including the neighboring pixel values in determining whether and/or how to correct or modify the current pixel value. The pixel values which are most severely defective are identified and stored. A first filtering algorithm is applied to those pixels whose locations are not stored, and a second filtering algorithm is applied to the most severely defective pixels whose locations have been stored. The filtering algorithm includes sorting the current pixel value and the neighboring pixel values into a rank order and modifying the current pixel value on the basis of its place in the rank order.

Abstract: An embodiment comprises a semiconductor integrated circuit for restricting the rate at which data may be accessed from an external memory by a device coupled to the circuit. The rate of data access is restricted if the data access satisfies one or more conditions. For example, one of the conditions is that the device which is requesting the data is insecure. Another condition is that the requested data is privileged. A data access monitor is provided to monitor data accesses and to is arranged to generate an access signal to indicate whether the conditions are satisfied or not. A bandwidth comparator determines whether data access exceeds a threshold and, if so, the semiconductor integrated circuit is impaired to prevent further data access.
