Abstract:
Only the display device stores content files and a management device stores file management information. The content files are managed using the file management information. Because the management device does not store the actual content files, the security policy of an organization is not violated even if the management device is located outside the organization. Furthermore, because the display device stores the content files, the user desire to keep content files locally at hand is satisfied. Furthermore, because file management information consisting of small amounts of data is exchanged between the display system and the management device, the communication environment of the system does not need to be suitable to large data transmissions. Furthermore, because the management device stores the file management information, the storage capacity required by the management device is small.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for implementing ABIST data compression and serialization for memory built-in self test of SRAM with redundancy. The method includes providing detection signals asserted for one failing data out, two failing data outs, and greater than two failing data outs. The method also includes individually encoding the failing bit position of each corresponding failing data out with a binary representation value corresponding therewith. The method further includes serializing results of the providing detection signals and the individually encoding, and transmitting results of the serializing to a redundancy support register function on a single fail buss.
Abstract:
A bitline selection apparatus for a semiconductor memory device includes a first local bitline pair and a second local bitline pair selectively coupled to a global bitline pair, each of the first and second local bitline pairs including a true bitline and a complementary bitline. Each of the true bitlines is selectively coupled to a common true node through an n-type pass device and a p-type pass device in parallel therewith, and each of the complementary bitlines is selectively coupled to a common complementary node through an n-type pass device and a p-type pass device in parallel therewith.
Abstract:
A high expansion anti-rotation anchor catcher includes a helical track positioned on an exterior surface of a tubular body. An expandable gripper cage is provided having an axially fixed hub mounted for rotation about the tubular body and an axially movable hub mounted for rotation about the tubular body. Pivoting linkages which support outwardly oriented grippers extend between the axially fixed hub and the axially movable hub. The axially movable hub has a track follower that engages the helical track on the exterior surface of the tubular body. Rotation of the tubular body in a first rotational direction causes the track follower to move along the helical track toward the axially fixed hub, thereby placing the expandable gripper cage in compression and causing the pivoting linkages and grippers to pivot outwardly away from the tubular body to secure the anchor in position.
Abstract:
A global and local read control synchronization method and system are provided for a memory array configured with multiple memory subarrays. Address signals are decoded to activate based thereon subarray select signals and a cumulative subarray select signal. The cumulative subarray select signal goes active whenever a subarray select signal goes active, and therefore, each pulse of the cumulative subarray select signal is synchronous with one pulse of the subarray select signals. Local read control signals for the multiple memory subarrays are obtained employing the subarray select signals, and at least one global read control signal for the memory array is obtained employing the cumulative subarray select signal. In one example, the memory array has a hierarchical bitline architecture.
Abstract:
A decoder circuit includes a pulse powered stage having a plurality of fan-in inputs thereto, a dynamic stage fed by the pulse powered stage, and a replica node selectively coupled to an output node of the pulse powered stage by a pass device. The pass device and the dynamic stage are controlled by a clock signal so as to enable a self-timed evaluation of the pulse-powered stage with a clocked enablement of the dynamic stage.
Abstract:
A clock control method and apparatus are provided employing a clock control circuit which generates an array clock for a memory array from a system clock and a reset control signal. The reset control signal is one of a plurality of input control signals to the clock control circuit. When the system clock is below a predefined frequency threshold, the reset control signal is an array tracking reset signal, wherein the active pulse width of the array clock is system clock frequency independent, and when the system clock is above the predefined frequency threshold, the reset control signal is a mid-cycle reset signal, meaning that the active pulse width of the array clock is system clock frequency dependent. A bypass signal is provided as a third input control signal, which when active causes the clock control circuit to output an array clock which mirrors the system clock.
Abstract:
Automobile accessories, kits, and methods of use. An automobile accessory is a heel guard that can be applied to a floor and/or a floor mat within an interior of an automobile such as a car, a truck, a van, a bus, and the like. The heel guard may be secured to the floor and/or the floor mat to provide a layer of protection between the driver's shoe or foot and the floor and/or floor mat. The heel guard prevents damage to these surfaces due to friction produced by movement of the driver's foot during operation of the foot pedals of the automobile.
