Title: Accumulator for adaptive sigma-delta modulation
Inventor: ZIERHOFER CLEMENS M
IPC: H03M3/02
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: A system and method for adaptive sigma-delta modulation. The system includes a input stage that produces a difference signal representing the difference between an analog input signal x(n) and a analog feedback signal z(n), the amplitude of the analog input signal x(n) within a first range [-a, +a]. An accumulator stage produces an accumulated signal that is a function of an accumulation of the difference signal, the accumulator stage transforming the accumulation of the difference signal so as to increase average magnitude while ensuring instantaneous magnitude does not exceed a predetermined value.  A quantization stage produces a quantized digital signal yo(n) representing the accumulated signal. Based on the quantized digital signal yo(n), a adaptation stage produces a digital output signal zo(n), which is converted to the analog feedback signal z(n) by a digital-to-analog converter stage.

IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2006-04-18
Abstract: An application generation environment coordinates development of component-based applications using an interconnected model of objects serialized in a first format of a structured definition language (e.g. XML). Application components are generated for execution by a client device (e.g. a wireless mobile device) comprising a runtime environment and primarily define the processing of messages communicated over a network between the client device and an external data source such as a service or other remote application. Definitions in accordance with a first format are transformed into a second format which is simplified and compact for less resource intensive interpretation by the runtime environment of the client device. A set of rules (e.g. XSLT) may be applied for the transformation. The application generation environment may comprise an Eclipse-based platform and the first format for serializing the interconnected model of objects be defined in accordance with a modelling framework (e.g. Eclipse Modelling Framework (EMF)).

Title: Multi-terminal devices having logic functionality
Inventor: OVSHINSKY STANFORD R
IPC: H01L45/00
Filed: 2004-12-10
Abstract: A multi-terminal logic device. The device includes a phase change material having crystalline and amorphous states in electrical communication with three or more electrical terminals. The phase change material is able to undergo reversible transformations between amorphous and crystalline states in response to applied electrical energy where the amorphous and crystalline states show measurably distinct electrical resistances. Electrical energy in the form of current or voltage pulses applied between a pair of terminals influences the structural state and measured electrical resistance between the terminals. In the instant devices, independent input signals are provided between different pairs of terminals and the output is measured as the resistance between yet another pair of terminals. Logic functionality is achieved through relationships between the applied input signals and the measured output resistance where the relationship is governed by the effect of the input signals on the structural state and electrical resistance of the phase change material. Logic values may be associated with the crystalline and amorphous states of the phase change material or the measured resistance between a pair of terminals.
