the United States, in particular, 35 U.S.C. §§271, 281, 283, 284, and 285. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action under 28 U.S.C. §§1331 and 1338(a). 32. This Court has personal jurisdiction over each of the Defendants, and venue is
interrupt at any time except under certain conditions, at which time the system can override the interrupt mask. Electronic devices practicing the inventions claimed in the ’597 Patent can exit certain processes or states without using a hardware reset and thus protect against unnecessary information loss. Further, through the use of the inventions claimed in the ’597 Patent, such electronic devices can prevent situations where the processor is locked in a certain state because all interrupts were masked by software when the processor entered such state. 34. The ’689 Patent discloses a clock generator and interrupt bypass circuit for use in
reducing the power consumption of the electrical system in which they are implemented. The clock generator may provide module clock signals for sequencing modules within the same electrical system, and is capable of generating those module clock signals when in an active mode, and of not generating those module clock signals when in a stand-by mode. The clock generator is further capable of providing a delay of a predetermined length from a request to enter shut-down mode to actual entry into shut-down mode, allowing time to prepare the
electrical system for shut-down mode. The interrupt bypass circuit may provide a means of leaving shut-down mode in the event that the relevant interrupt requests have been masked. 35. The ’555 Patent discloses a system and method for processing and securing
communication signals over a wireless communications network. An enciphering algorithm may be programmatically selected and applied to the signals for secure transmission. 36. The ’873 Patent discloses a device and method for providing inter-processor
communication in a multi-processor architecture. A post office RAM has a plurality of mailboxes. Each mailbox is write accessible by one port, but is read-accessible by the other ports. Thus, a processor device on a port has write-access to one mailbox, but can read the other mailboxes in the post office. A transmitting processor communicates with a receiving processor, by utilizing the post office. The transmitting processor writes information into its own mailbox, and signals a receiving processor. The receiving processor determines which of the processor devices signaled it, and reads the information in the transmitting processor’s mailbox. 37. The ’394 Patent discloses a servo loop control apparatus having a master
microprocessor and at least one autonomous streamlined signal processor is disclosed. The architecture provides a general purpose controller for use in systems where intensive servo signal processing is required and is well suited to applications where multiple servo control loops operate simultaneously. The operation of the streamlined signal processors is autonomous from the master processor so that critical functions can be dedicated to the streamlined signal processors. This eliminates complex interrupt management and tedious real time scheduling constraints, simplifies system design and improves system performance. The architecture provides an integrated mechanism for implementing multiple, concurrent, complex signal
processing and embedded control functions, such as complete servo-mechanism management for high performance disk storage systems. 38. Norman has obtained all substantial right and interest to the Patents, including all
Holdings LLC all right, title, and interest in the Patents. 40. Norman’s business includes acquisition and licensing of intellectual property. In
