Patent ID: 6973431

Claim:
A method for increasing apparent delay length of a memory having a beginning and an end, said method comprising: A) inputting an input signal into the memory, B) utilizing the memory to produce first and second signals from a location, position, or point which may be anywhere from the beginning to the end of the memory respectively, C) utilizing said first signal for producing an output signal for a first period of time traversing the memory from a reset area while simultaneously comparing two signals that have a statistical probability of being similar and are representative of signals displaced from each other in the memory for similarity, D) changing over to utilizing said second signal for producing the output signal when said two signals are similar, said second signal starting in said reset area, E) utilizing said second signal for producing an output signal for a second period of time traversing the memory from a reset area while simultaneously comparing said two signals that have a statistical probability of being similar and are representative of signals displaced from each other in the memory for similarity, F) changing over to utilizing said first signal for producing an output signal when said two signals are similar, said first signal beginning in said reset area, G) then repeating steps C to F so as to change the apparent delay length of the memory.
