Abstract: A first device delivers a clock offset message to a second device. The second device offsets its data transmission according to the clock offset message. A test pattern is transmitted from the second device to the first device. The first device then checks the received test pattern to determine whether the transmission was successful. The first device can then deliver an additional clock offset message to the second device to instruct the second device to offset its data transmission by a different value than was used previously. The second device again transmits the test pattern and the first device again checks the received pattern. By trying a number of clock offset values and determining which values result in successful transmissions of data, the first device can determine the optimal clock offset value and instruct the second device to use this value for all transmissions.

Abstract: In a flash EEPROM system that is divided into separately erasable blocks of memory cells with multiple pages of user data being stored in each block, a count of the number of erase cycles that each block has endured is stored in one location within the block, such as in spare cells of only one page or distributed among header regions of multiple pages. The page or pages containing the block cycle count are initially read from each block that is being erased, the cycle count temporarily stored, the block erased and an updated cycle count is then written back into the block location. User data is then programmed into individual pages of the block as necessary. The user data is preferably stored in more than two states per memory cell storage element, in which case the cycle count can be stored in binary in a manner to speed up the erase process and reduce disturbing effects on the erased state that writing the updated cycle count can cause. An error correction code calculated from the cycle count may be stored with it, thereby allowing validation of the stored cycle count.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for eroding or ablating a shaped volume of an eye's corneal tissue (10) in accordance with the treatment of a specified eye condition. To determine the laser beam shot pattern, a plurality of laser beam shots of uniform intensity are first selected to form a uniform shot pattern of uniform shot density. The laser beam shots applied in accordance with the uniform shot pattern of uniform shot density would be capable of eroding a volume of the corneal tissue (10) of uniform height. The volume of uniform height is approximately equivalent to that of the shaped volume. The laser beam shots are applied to the corneal tissue in a spatially distributed pattern spread over an area approximately equivalent to the surface area of the shaped volume to be eroded. The spatially distributed pattern extends the uniform shot pattern in fixed angles from a reference position on the shaped volume representative of the shaped volume's axis of symmetry. Shot density for the laser beam shots changes in correspondence with distance from the reference position.
