    摘要: A multiprocessing computer system and method providing multiplexed address and data paths from multiple CPUs to a single storage device. These paths are controlled by an arbitration circuit which allows one CPU to always have the highest priority. The primary CPU may or may not be the highest priority CPU in the arbitration scheme. The arbitration circuit is combined with a controlling mechanism which interfaces to the memory device. This controller operates at a clock rate fast enough to allow the highest priority CPU to access the memory at it's highest data rate and, yet, guarantees a maximum idle period for the lower priority CPU to wait for it's interleaved memory access to complete. A single memory device provides cost and space savings. A controller is responsive to these processors to multiplex their information signals for selectively conveying information present at their address and data ports. A common memory device is addressable by the processors, and responsive to the controller to share addressing of the common memory device.

    摘要: An interface between the host CPU and the programmably memory, providing an address, data and read/write control signals to create a non-volatile sector within the programmable memory. In an embodiment when the system reset is de-asserted immediately after power-on, the size of the protected EEPROM area is sensed on special strapping option pins and automatically configures the non-volatile sector. This allows the size of the protected area to be changed on the manufacturing line as needed for different applications. Once configured to protect a specific size and location in the non-volatile memory, the invention prevents the write control signal to the memory to be asserted when the address of the data access requested by the CPU is in the protected area of the memory. This has the effect of preventing modification of the protected area by a sector modification algorithm.

    摘要: An externally reconfigurable input system for an electronic device is provided. The input system has the flexibility of receiving input via an input interface with the guidance of key-based substrate overlay positioned proximate a sensor array that is coupled to a printed wiring assembly. An input correlation component receives signals generated by the sensor array in response to displacement of one or more keys associated with the key-based substrate. The key-based substrate overlay is removable so as to be reconfigured.

    摘要: A reader such as a barcode reader identifies at least one potential target such as a barcode symbol in its field-of-view, and projects or transmits an indicator toward or proximate the potential target containing information about the respective potential target. Such information may include which target is currently active, the symbology in which the target is encoded, the relative position of the reader with respect to the target, the ability of the reader to decode the target, and/or ranked or sorted order information regarding the target and neighboring targets. The reader may rank, sort, prioritize or otherwise determine order based on various parameters, including symbology, position in field-of-view, size, etc., and may base such on past history of the reader and/or user, and may weight such.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for tracking and interception of instructions as they are presented to the memory, selectively passing harmless data to the device and disallowing the sequences which instruct the device to perform harmful functions, such as self-erase. A software trap is provided to be transparent to the operation of the device and the host system, imposing no harmful timing delays or software overhead. Accordingly, the invention allows the use of standard electrically erasable read-only memories in an application which requires that the device be protected from global erasure. A hardware front end intercepts the software command which is used to globally erase the device. The apparatus receives address signals from the computer system corresponding to the protected peripheral device, receives data signals from the computer system to the protected peripheral device, tracks a predetermined sequence of address and address signals, substitutes at least one of the data signals received with a replacement data signal, and sends a replacement data signal.

    摘要: A system and method of detecting a barcode involves obtaining a two-dimensional source image and converting it into a frequency domain image (FDI). Frequency trends in the FDI are then analyzed to determine whether barcode information is present in the FDI. In this way, the presence, location, orientation, size and symbology of a barcode can be quickly and accurately determined.
