Abstract:
A method for fabricating a circuitry component includes providing a semiconductor substrate, a first coil over said semiconductor substrate, a passivation layer over said first coil; and depositing a second coil over said passivation layer and over said first coil. Said second coil may be deposited by forming a first metal layer over said passivation layer, forming a pattern defining layer over said first metal layer, a first opening in said pattern defining layer exposing said first metal layer, forming a second metal layer over said first metal layer exposed by said first opening, removing said pattern defining layer, and removing said first metal layer not under said second metal layer.

A method for operating a memory device that comprises periodically generating a refresh request signal for performing a refresh operation, providing an access request signal for performing an access operation, performing the refresh operation if the refresh request signal occurs prior to the access request signal, and performing the access operation if the access request signal occurs prior to the refresh request signal.
Abstract:
A unified architecture for implementing the modified cosine transforms of various cosine modulated filter banks in audio compression standards comprises a permutation module and a transform computing module. A modified cosine transform is computed by a pre-permutation followed by a discrete cosine transform and an inverse modified cosine transform is computed by a discrete cosine transform followed by a post-permutation. The discrete cosine transform computed in the unified architecture is selected from the group of type-II, type-III and type-IV cosine transforms. The computation of an N point discrete cosine transform is decomposed into a permutation-add stage, a sub-transform stage for computing two N/2 point discrete cosine transforms selected from the same group, and a combination stage. The architecture results in good regularity and general applicability as well as reduces complexity.

The SATA interface storage device can be used in cooperation with an electrical apparatus and comprises a substrate, a chip set, a SATA interface and a shell. The substrate has a first surface, a second surface corresponding to the first surface and a plurality of connectors between the first surface and the second surface. The chip set is disposed on the first surface. The SATA interface is disposed on the second surface and is electrically connected to the chip set via a part of the connectors so that the electrical apparatus may be electrically connected to the chip set via the SATA interface to access the chip set. The shell has a width and a thickness and defines a receiving space for receiving the substrate, the chip set and the SATA interface, where the width and the thickness conform to a micro-memory card standard.

Abstract:
A complex memory chip is provided. The complex memory chip comprises a first pin, a second pin, a voltage generator, a flash memory, and a static random access memory (SRAM). The first pin is capable of transmitting a first voltage. The second pin is capable of transmitting a second voltage which is lower than the first voltage, so as to define a working voltage in association with the first voltage. The voltage generator generates a third voltage according to the first voltage, wherein the third voltage is greater than the first voltage. The flash memory and the SRAM operate under the working voltage. The flash memory erases data according to the third voltage.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit with on-chip resources to support the testing of data stored on the integrated circuit includes logic to compute a check code using data, or a combination of data and addresses, of a particular data set stored on the device. The check code produced using the stored version of the data set is compared with a test code produced using a correct version of the data set, to indicate whether the correct data set was successfully stored on the device. An on-chip store holds the code produced using the correct version, and an on-chip comparator is used to produce a flag indicating the success or failure of the test. During manufacturing of the device, the memory tester simply tests the flag.

Abstract:
A system and method of a DVD player for displaying multiple subtitles includes a loading platform for reading digital data of DVD storage media; an interface management platform of receiving end for transmitting a decoded message of a first subtitle set image to a comparison platform. The comparison platform is for checking whether control signal of the first subtitle set image from the loading platform exists in an accumulator register. If not, the digital data is analyzed and decoded through an analytic platform and a decoder platform according to an identifying code of data flow and the first subtitle set image control signal. Then a mixed digital video signal and a digital audio signal are outputted by an image construct platform and an output platform. The interface management platform of receiving end continuingly transmitting a decoded message of a second subtitle set image to the comparison platform and the comparison platform reads control signal of the second subtitle set image and compares it with the first subtitle set image retained temporarily in the accumulator register for decoding the subtitle set image contol signal inexistent in the accumulator register.
Abstract:
High frequency components of audio signals are reconstructed from the aspects of envelope and fine detail. The envelopes of the high frequency components are found through linear extrapolation of signals with frequencies lower than a cutoff frequency point. One method of reconstructing high frequency components is based on the linear extrapolation on the logarithm scale magnitudes of the transform coefficients of the audio signal in a frequency domain. The linear extrapolation is a linear approximation based on minimizing least squares of the logarithm scale magnitudes of the transform coefficients of the low frequency components. Another method is based on the linear extrapolation on the logarithm scale magnitudes of the envelope elements of the filterbank signals of the audio signal over a time segment. The linear extrapolation is a linear approximation based on minimizing least squares of the logarithm scale magnitudes of the envelope elements of the low frequency filterbank signals.
