Title: Digital rights management DRM method using a write-once memory to limit the use, copying or transfer of content media
Inventor: NISHIOKA AKIHIKO
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2012-01-03
Abstract: A method of controlling copying and playback of content stored in a removable memory storage medium such as an optical disk, DVD, semiconductor memory e.g. a USB stick or hard-drive at a host device, e.g. a personal computing device. â  Right to useâ   information is created each time the content is transferred between computers, or copied, based on host computer ID, media ID and number of uses of the media. This right to use information is then written to a â  write-onceâ   section of memory on the removable memory and it serves to restrict the access to the content. The host computer reads the right to use information before enabling playback or recording of the media content. After a number of uses, the write-once area of the removable storage media becomes full and no more copying of the media will be permitted. Therefore the method appears to provide a media format, for example for music or films, in which it is always possible to playback the media but only possible to transfer (copy) it onto a limited number of host devices.

Title: Digital to analogue conversion
Inventor: LESSO JOHN PAUL
IPC: H03G3/00
Filed: 2012-10-19
Abstract: A digital to analogue conversion (DAC) circuit is disclosed having dynamic gain control which acts to make better use of the input range of DAC 101. A gain controller 201 has a gain allocation module 204 for controlling the allocation of gain between a digital variable gain (scaling) unit 102 and an analogue variable gain element 103 in response to changes in signal level in the input digital audio signal DIN. The digital variable gain element 102 applies gain (scaling) to the input digital signal upstream of a DAC 101 and the analogue variable gain element 103 applies a compensating analogue gain. In the present invention the gain allocation module is operable in first and second modes of operation where the response to reductions in signal level is slower in the first mode than in the second mode of operation. A low-level detector 202 monitors the input digital audio signal so as to detect a low-level part of the signal and the gain controller changes from the first mode to the second mode following detection of a low-level part of the input digital audio signal. The response of the gain allocation module in the second mode is preferably sufficiently fast to allow the digital gain to be changed to a target setting suitable for the low-level part of the signal before it is received at the digital gain element.

Title: Coherency controller with reduced data buffer
Inventor: MOLL LAURENT
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2013-08-29
Abstract: A coherency controller 10, comprising interfaces for communicating with an initiator 20 and a target 40 and for sending snoops to coherent agents 30, retains data received via snoop responses in a data store 50 comprising buffers. The capacity of the data store is smaller than the volume of pending read data requests. Data buffers may be allocated only for requests that match another pending request. Buffers may be deallocated if all snoops receive responses without accompanying data. Buffers containing clean data may have their data discarded and be reallocated to later requests. When all buffers are full of dirty data, request queues may retain requests corresponding to a pending order. Dirty data may be sent to coherent agents to make buffers available for reallocation. The coherency controller can therefore issue snoops and target requests for a volume of data that exceeds the number of buffers in the data store, reducing the space needed for the data store on the silicon die.
