In one embodiment, the present invention includes a cache memory, which may be a sequential cache, having multiple banks. Each of the banks includes a data array, a decoder coupled to the data array to select a set of the data array, and a sense amplifier. Only a bank to be accessed may be powered, and in some embodiments early way information may be used to maintain remaining banks in a power reduced state. In some embodiments, clock gating may be used to maintain various components of the cache memory in a power reduced state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Disclosed are simple easy to understand TV camera based input and programming devices for computers, as well as local or remote means to assimilate data or commands. The invention in one preferred embodiment, uses printed matter imaged by one or more TV cameras, which results in enhanced ease of comprehension, distribution and touch command input of programs. The printed matter may be for example, newspaper clippings, children's books, chess boards, or board games. Certain aspects of the invention share some characteristics of a touch screen, in the sense of additionally determining the location of objects positioned by a user, or portions of a user, such as fingers or hands
摘要:
An optical sensor comprises a sensing element comprising a waveguide grating with a response that varies with an effective modal index experienced by light propagating in the grating and a sample window for receiving fluid which affects the effective modal index to modify the response, the sensing element arranged to receive light from a light source and to output the light after filtering; and an analysing element comprising a second waveguide grating having a second response, and arranged to receive light output by the sensing element and to output the light after filtering for detection by an optical power detector. The combination of the two gratings converts changes in the wavelength of light output by the sensing element in response to the sample of fluid to changes in the amount of light, allowing the fluid index to be deduced from a measurement of optical power. The two elements may be fabricated on a single substrate to reduce errors from environmental disturbances such as temperature changes.
摘要:
Forwarding state may be installed for sparse multicast trees in a link state protocol controlled Ethernet network by enabling intermediate nodes to install state for one or more physical multicast trees, each of which may have multiple logical multicast trees mapped to it. By mapping multiple logical multicasts to a particular physical multicast, and installing state for the physical multicast, fewer FIB entries are required to implement the multiple multicasts to reduce the amount of forwarding state in forwarding tables at the intermediate nodes. Mapping may be performed by destination nodes before advertising membership in the physical multicast, or may be performed by the intermediate nodes before installing state when a destination node advertises membership in a logical multicast. Intermediate nodes will install state for the physical multicast tree if they are on a shortest path between a source and at least one destination of one of the logical multicasts that has been mapped to the physical multicast.
摘要:
Systems, methods, and computer program products for presenting, on a statement associated with a financial transaction instrument, an amount of interest avoided during a statement period. A first interest amount is computed for the statement period according to a first interest calculation method, the first interest amount being an interest amount actually billed to the transaction instrument account holder. A second interest amount is computed for the statement period according to a second interest calculation method. An amount of interest avoided for the statement period is computed by taking a difference of the first interest amount and the second interest amount. The amount of interest avoided for the statement period is displayed on the statement, whereby the holder of the transaction instrument is informed as to the amount of interest avoided by use of the first interest calculation method, rather than the second interest calculation method.
摘要:
A method and system is provided for using backscattered data and known parameters to characterize vascular tissue. Specifically, methods and devices for identifying information about the imaging element used to gather the backscattered data are provided in order to permit an operation console having a plurality of Virtual Histology classification trees to select the appropriate VH classification tree for analyzing data gathered using that imaging element. In order to select the appropriate VH database for analyzing data from a specific imaging catheter, it is advantageous to know information regarding the function and performance of the catheter, such as the operating frequency of the catheter and whether it is a rotational or phased-array catheter. The present invention provides a device and method for storing this information on the imaging catheter and communicating the information to the operation console. In addition, information related to additional functions of the catheter may also be stored on the catheter and used to further optimize catheter performance and/or select the appropriate Virtual Histology classification tree for analyzing data from the catheter imaging element.

A system that provides a wireless broadband connection between base stations and customer sites is described. The system includes indoor units within the base stations and customer sites and communicate across cables to outdoor units. The indoor units link to routers, switches and other devices and services. The outdoor units transmit and receive wireless data and send it to the indoor units. The indoor units can store software instructions in the outdoor unit. This allows the indoor units to automatically detect problems with outdoor unit and download new software to them in case of an error.
摘要:
A high-speed memory management technique that minimizes clobber in sequentially accessed memory, including but not limited to, for example, a trace cache. The method includes selecting a victim set from a sequentially accessed memory; selecting a victim way for the selected victim set; reading a next way pointer from a trace line of a trace currently stored in the selected victim way, if the selected victim way has the next way pointer; and writing a next line of the new trace into the selected victim way over the trace line of the currently stored trace. The method also includes forcing a replacement algorithm of next set to select a victim way of the next set using the next way pointer, if the trace line of the currently stored trace is not an active trace tail line.
