Title: Reducing power usage in a personal computer
Inventor: SELLERS CHARLES A
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 1995-09-07
Abstract: Power usage in a personal computer is reduced by repetitively performing the following sequence of steps: a. generate a wake-up signal in connection with a user beginning to interact with the computer; b. in response to the wake-up signal, switch at least a portion of the computer into a more fully powered mode; and c. keep the portion of the computer in the more fully powered mode only as long as the user is delivering input to the computer, and thereafter immediately switch the portion of the computer into a less fully powered mode. A detector issues a wake-up signal when a user begins to interact with the computer; and control circuitry connected to the sensor switches between the more fully powered mode and the less fully powered mode. The sensor may be mounted in a keyboard that includes an array of keys, and a sensor mounted in a position to detect use of the keyboard even when the keyboard is in an unpowered state. <MATH>

Abstract: The chip carrier island (3) is fixed to small diagonal supports (12) and has a large central opening (13) extending beyond the edge of the chip on two sides. In the depicted embodiment the opening is circular with dia. about equal to the length of a side of the chip, which is not in contact with the bar region (15) of the island. The area around the opening allows thermal expansion, assists removal of heat and reduces thermo-mechanical deformation.
Patent EP-0764985-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BAUKUS JAMES P
IPC: G06F21/86
Filed: 1996-05-10
Abstract: An integrated digital circuit is protected from reverse
engineering by fabricating all transistors of like conductivity
(2, 4, 6, 30; 12, 14, 16, 32) with a common size and geometric
layout, providing a common layout for different logic cells,
connecting doped circuit elements of like conductivity with
electrically conductive doped implants (C) in the substrate
(38) rather than metalized interconnections, and providing
non-functional apparent interconnections that are interrupted
by non-discernable channel stops (CSO) so that all cells falsely
appear to have a common interconnection scheme. The camouflage
is enhanced by providing a uniform pattern of metal leads (8,
18, 28, 34) over the transistor array, with a uniform pattern
of heavily doped implant taps (ST, DT) from the transistors
for connection to the leads; undesired tap-lead connections
are blocked by channel stops.

Abstract: In a memory state recovering apparatus, processors
(10-1 to 10-n) process data and a main memory (17)
holds data necessary for the data processing at the
processors (10-1 to 10-n). Caches (12-1 to 12-n) are
provided to correspond to the processors (10-1 to 10-n)
and have the function of issuing an invalidation
transaction to specify the invalidation of the data to
maintain the consistency of the data. A before image
buffer (18) combines an address in the main memory (17)
with the data held in the location indicated by the
address and stores the combination. A memory access
control section (14) stores in the buffer memory the
address targeted in the main memory and the data stored
in the location indicated by the address in accordance
with the invalidation transaction issued from the
caches (12-1 to 12-n). With this configuration,
the time required for a checkpoint process can be
shortened, thereby improving the system performance.

Abstract: A database managing system for effecting
management in accessing data stored in a database via an
index is so configured so as to prevent duplication of
index key values and increase of index key values from
degrading the access performance and lowering the storage
efficiency of the index. Upon receiving, from an application
program (5), a request to add a data record, a
database manager (6) adds this data record to a data
portion (3) and effects addition and update of an index
record in an index portion (2). An index manager (8)
intervenes in this processing and excepts, from the index
portion, an index record containing an index key value
which has reached an upper limit value of the number of
duplications preset in an exception key managing table
(7). At the time of recreation of the index, the index
manager (8) refers to access time contained in index
records and excepts index records which have not been
accessed during an elapse of a fixed period of time.

Title: An electronic price label (EPL) system
Inventor: GOODWINN III JOHN COKER
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 1996-05-24
Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic price label
system and in particular to a system and method which
determines a number of electronic price label (EPL) data
message transmission attempts to an EPL (18). A transmitter
(12,10) transmits a data message to the EPL (18). A
receiver (12,16) receives a return signal from the EPL (18).
A storage system (28) stores a status flag representing a
first number of times the data message is transmitted by the
transmitter to the EPL (18), the status flag being based
upon an established signal to noise (S/N) ratio. A
communication base station (CBS) (10) determines a new S/N
ratio from the return signal. A runtime analyzer program
(26) determines whether the new S/N ratio is below a range
of S/N ratios that includes the established S/N ratio, and
if it is, provides a new status flag representing a second
number of transmission times greater than the first number
of transmission times. The transmitter (12,16) transmits a
subsequent data message the second number of times.

Abstract: A multiprocessor system includes a number of sub-processor systems,
each substantially identically constructed, and each comprising a central processing unit
(CPU), and at least one I/O device, interconnected by routing apparatus that also
interconnects the sub-processor systems. A CPU of any one of the sub-processor
systems may communicate, through the routing elements, with any I/O device of the
system, or with any CPU of the system. 
     Communications between I/O devices and CPUs is by packetized
messages. Interrupts from I/O devices are communicated from the I/O devices to the
CPUs (or from one CPU to another CPU) as message packets. 
     CPUs and I/O devices may write to, or read from, memory of a CPU of
the system. Memory protection is provided by an access validation method maintained
by each CPU in which CPUs and/or I/O devices are provided with a validation to
read/write memory of that CPU, without which memory access is denied.

precharge on the second portion of the bit line to the
first portion of the bit line if the voltage level on the
first portion of the bit line is below a given level. A
column selecting unit 450 connects the second portion of
the bit line to a common sensing node C in response to a
respective column decoding signal and a sense amplifier 600
senses the voltage on the sensing node.
