Patent EP-0390507-A3 (EP)
Title: Bit line discharge and sense circuit
IPC: G11C11/416
Filed: 1990-03-27
Abstract: According to this invention, two current sources 
are used, having a relatively small difference. The larger 
current source is used to discharge the capacitance on the 
bit line. However, only the difference between the two 
currents flows through the cell transistor being read. 
Thus a high current flows in the bit line, but a much 
lower current in the cell. Using this arrangement, the 
voltages on the bases of the two transistors of the cell 
can be sensed directly, by diode followers connected to the 
emitters of the two transistcrs of the cell. As the base 
of one transistor will be at a voltage level significantly 
higher than the sense level, and the base of the other 
transistor at a voltage level significantly lower, a simply 
constructed differential sense amplifier connected between 
the two diode followers which are connected to the emitters 
of the transistors of the cell will immediately indicate 
the state of the selected cell.

Title: Method and system for dynamically selecting a communication mode.
Inventor: REYNOLDS DAVID CORDER
IPC: G06F15/177
Filed: 1995-01-25
Abstract: In a multi-processor parallel processing computer environment different communication modes are available for performing an information distribution operation (e.g., a broadcast) between processors. The technique comprises automatically selecting an optimal communications mode at operation run-time. The selection decision utilizes hardware parameters of the system (e.g., communication speed between processors) and run-time parameters (e.g., number of nodes to broadcast a message to). The communication mode selection decision seeks to optimize factors such as time required to execute or work space requirements of the distribution operation. <IMAGE>
