The present invention relates to a composite metastasis score (“cMS”) based on expression of a 14-gene molecular signature (referred to as a metastasis score, or “MS”) in combination with progesterone receptor (PR) expression that is useful for predicting breast cancer metastasis. In preferred embodiments, the cMS is determined by applying weighted coefficients to MS and PR. The present invention provides methods and reagents for detecting and profiling the expression levels of these genes, and methods of using the expression level information for predicting risk of breast cancer metastasis, among other embodiments.

Memory power management systems and methods are provided. One embodiment of the present invention includes a memory power management system. The system comprises a first low dropout (LDO) regulator that provides an active operating voltage that is derived from a first supply voltage to power a memory array during an active mode. The system further comprises a second LDO regulator that provides a minimum memory retention voltage that is derived from a second supply voltage to power the memory array in a standby mode, wherein the second supply voltage also powers at least one peripheral circuit for reading from and/or writing to the memory array.

An apparatus for providing active mode power reduction for circuits having data retention includes a master slave flip flop (MSFF) for latching a data input. An output level shifter (OLS), coupled to the MSFF, retains the data input in response to the MSFF being operable in an active power saving mode (APSM) to reduce power. The OLS operating in the APSM provides a level shifter output having a configurable voltage, thereby providing output isolation. A change in an operating mode of the MSFF between an active mode and the APSM is independent of a retention (RET) mode input.

A computer system comprising a control logic and a storage coupled to the control logic. The storage comprises a plurality of bitcells and bitlines used to transfer data between the control logic and the bitcells. The control logic provides an address of a target bitcell to the storage. Within a single clock cycle, the storage uses the address to activate the target bitcell, to precharge bitlines coupled to the target bitcell, and to access the target bitcell.

摘要:
A device for adaptively controlling a voltage supplied to circuitry in substantially close proximity to the device, comprising a processing module, a first tracking element coupled to the processing module and producing a first value indicative of a first estimated speed associated with the circuitry, and a second tracking element coupled to the processing module and producing a second value indicative of a second estimated speed associated with the circuitry. The processing module compares each of the first and second values to a target value and causes a voltage output to be adjusted based on said comparison.

摘要:
An apparatus, system and method for asynchronously reducing power in a power domain. In one embodiment, the method includes: (1) receiving a sleep command for the power domain, (2) receiving, upon receiving the sleep command, an affirmative retention status signal denoting that a retention area in the power domain has stored data, (3) receiving, upon receiving the sleep command, an affirmative isolation status signal that denotes that an isolation of the power domain has occurred and (4) providing a power domain off command to the power domain upon receiving at least the sleep command, the affirmative status retention signal and the affirmative status isolation signal. In another embodiment, multiple enable signals are employed to generate a “glitch-free” control for a power switch.
