Patent EP-0766259-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DEBROSSE JOHN KENNETH
IPC: G11C11/4094
Filed: 1996-09-16
Abstract: A Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) includes an array of memory cells 160 arranged in rows and columns, a word line in each row responsive to a row address and, a pair of complementary bit lines in each column. The DRAM also includes a sense amp 166 in each column connected between a sense enable and the pair of complementary bit lines. The sense amp is a pair of cross coupled NFETs 168, 170, with the sources of the NFETs connected to the sense amp enable. A bit line pre-charge is connected to each pair of complementary bit lines. The bit line pre-charge is connected between the complementary bit line pair and a reference voltage. A test control circuit selectively holds the sense amp disabled and the bit line pairs in a pre-charge state in response to a test control signal. An active sense amp load connected between the sense amp and a load enable latches data in the sense amp. The active sense amp load is a pair of cross coupled PFETs 172, 174 connected to the sense amp with the sources of the PFETs connected to the load enable. Optionally, each column may include a plurality of bit line pairs, each pair connected to a mux 164 input. In this embodiment, the sense amp is connected between the mux output and the sense amp enable. Because the control circuit uses the equalization voltage to disable the sense amp, cell signal margin may be tested in a new way. Instead of varying the sense amp reference voltage, the voltage stored in the cells is varied, so that cell signal margin is tested by varying cell signal, which may be selected to determine both a high and a low signal margin.

Abstract: A mechanism for maintaining a consistent, periodically updated state in main memory without constraining normal computer operation is provided, thereby enabling a computer system to recover from faults without loss of data or processing continuity. In a typical computer system, a processor and input/output elements are connected to a main memory subsystem that includes a primary memory. In embodiments of the present invention, a read buffer is also appended to this main memory subsystem. During normal processing, a pre-image of data written to the primary memory may be captured by the read buffer. Data captured in the read buffer can restore the system to a previous checkpoint. This structure and protocol can guarantee a consistent state in main memory, thus enabling fault-tolerant operation.

Abstract: For effecting cryptographic communications between entities i, j using a common cryptokey, each of the entities i, j generates a common cryptokey by applying an identifier transformation algorithm and a secret private key, which have previously been distributed from a center, to the identifier of the other entity with which to communicate (step 3). In a transmitting side, one-time pass cryptographic communication random number data are generated and ancrypted by the common cryptokey, a plaintext is encrypted using the random number data, and the encrypted random number data and the encrypted plaintext are combined into an encrypted communication text (step 4). In a receiving side, the encrypted random number data in the encrypted communication text are decrypted using the common cryptokey, and the encrypted plaintext is decrypted using the decrypted random number data as a key (step 5). 
     Such a method of effecting cryptographic communications can increase the security of the cryptokey against various forms of attack.

Abstract: To convert gray-scale data of each pixel of image data
into pulse-width data for each pixel, a RAM is provided. The
RAM has nine pixel memory regions corresponding to nine pixels
a to i for forming, for example, a 3 × 3 pixel matrix on the
output image. In each of the pixel memory regions, there are
stored pulse-width data items corresponding to values which are
permitted for gray-scale data to have. Pulse-width data items
in the pixel memory regions are slightly different from one
another among pixel memory regions. Gray-scale data of each
pixel of image data and address word composed of gray-scale
data of each pixel of image data and coordinates of each pixel
in the 3 × 3 matrix is supplied to the RAM. Thus, pulse-width
data corresponding to gray-scale data is read from the pixel
memory region so that a laser drive pulse having a pulse width
corresponding to the read pulse-width data is generated.

Abstract: Global address and data routers interconnect individual system units each
having its own processors, memory, and I/O. A domain filter coupled to the
routers dynamically defines groups of system units as domains and clusters of
domains which have both software and hardware isolation from each other.
Clusters can share dynamically definable ranges of memory with each other. The
domain filter has software-loadable registers on the system units and in the global
routers to set the parameters of the domains and clusters. The registers label
individual inter-system transactions on the routers as invalid for system units not in
the same domain or cluster as the originating unit.

Abstract: A system and method for passively determining the position of a user terminal (for example, a mobile wireless telephone) in a low-Earth orbit satellite communications system. The system includes a user terminal, at least two satellites with known positions and known velocities, and a gateway (that is, a terrestrial base station) for communicating with the user terminal through the satellites. The method includes the steps of determining a range difference parameter and a range-rate difference parameter. A range difference parameter represents the difference between (1) the distance between a first one of the satellites and the user terminal and (2) the distance between a second one of the satellites and the user terminal. A range-rate difference parameter represents the difference between (a) a relative radial velocity between a first one of the satellites and the user terminal and (b) a relative radial velocity between a second one of the satellites and the user terminal. The position of the user terminal on the Earth's surface is then determined based on the known positions and known velocities of the satellites, the range difference parameter, and the range-rate difference parameter. <IMAGE>
