Title: Drift mitigation for multi-bit phase change material (PCM) memory cell.
Inventor: LI JING
IPC: G11C13/00
Filed: 2012-08-16
Abstract: An RC based sensing scheme to effectively sense the cell resistance of a programmed Phase Change Material (PCM) memory cell. The sensing scheme ensures the same physical configuration of each cell (after programming): same amorphous volume, same trap density/distribution, etc. The sensing scheme is based on a metric: the RC based sense amplifier implements two trigger points. The measured time interval (150 figure 6B) between these two points (125,130 figure 6B ) is used as the metric to determine whether the programmed cell state, e.g., resistance, is programmed into desired value. The RC-based sensing scheme is embedded into an iterative PCM cell programming technique to ensure a tight distribution of resistance at each level after programming; and ensure the probability of level aliasing is very small, leading to less problematic drift.

Title: Power efficient high speed backplane driver circuit with high voltage swing
Inventor: RAJAPAKSHA DUSHMANTHA
IPC: H03K19/0185
Filed: 2012-11-22
Abstract: A power efficient transmitter with a high voltage swing capability for sending data along long backplanes is disclosed. The transmitter circuit includes i) a current switching, current mode logic (CML) type driver (transitors M5-M8) connected to the transmitter output terminals TXP & TXN, and ii) a low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) type driver (transistors M1-M4) having an output node connected to the transmitter output TXP & TXN via a terminating load (resistors Rt). In a standard configuration, the LVDS output node would determine the common mode or receiver bias voltage. In the present invention, the LVDS type stage is switched by the driver input signal (INP, INN) in synchronism with the CML type stage to establish at the LVDS output node a voltage that is substantially the same as that which the ac driven leg of a CML type driver would take up, thereby reducing current through, and power loss in, the terminating resistors Rt.

Title: Hidden surface removal in graphic processing systems
Inventor: HEGGELUND FRODE
IPC: G06T1/20
Filed: 2013-12-17
Abstract: The early depth test stages 4, 13 of a graphics processing pipeline 1 are configured to broadcast information 9, 10, 11, 14 about fragments that have conditional discard tests associated with them and that pass those early depth tests to other stages 3, 4, 6, 12 in the pipeline. The other stages in the pipeline then use the early depth test pass information to determine if the processing of any fragments that they are currently processing can be slowed down. If a fragment that triggered the slowing down of the processing of fragments that are already in the pipeline passes all the conditional discard tests it is to be subjected to, a signal that triggers the stopping of the processing of the fragments whose processing it had previously slowed down is sent. If the fragment fails a conditional discard test it is to be subjected to, a signal that triggers the reviving of the processing of the fragments whose processing it had previously slowed down is sent.
