  • Patent number: 9564209
    Abstract: A non-volatile SRAM cell comprises a first inverter, a second inverter, a first access transistor, a second access transistor, and a variable resistive element. The first inverter voltage is supplied by a first differential supply. The second inverter voltage is supplied by a second differential supply. The variable resistive element coupling with a third access transistor in series is coupled to the first output node. The non-volatile SRAM cell operates in a restore operation comprising a dual supply initialization phase and a pulse-overwrite phase. During the dual supply initialization phase, the first differential supply increases before the second differential supply so as to initialize the first output node to a logic state. During the pulse-overwrite phase, the third access transistor is turned on for a switch period in order to discharge/charge the first output node.

  • Publication number: 20160352456
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for improved processing of audio and video in the wireless multimedia communication. By setting a SNR estimator in the de-modulator and connecting a PLC trigger between the de-modulator and the PLC module in parallel. The SNR estimator can calculate the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the wireless signal in the de-modulator directly. The PLC trigger can calculate the losing condition of the digital signal and make the decision whether proceeds the packet loss concealment (PLC) depend on the condition to make the PLC to the highest efficiency.

  • Patent number: 9502114
    Abstract: A cell for a non-volatile ternary content-addressable (TCAM) memory is provided. The cell comprises a first variable resistive element, a first transistor and a charge control transistor. Two terminals of the first variable resistive element are respectively electrically coupled to a first search-line and a storage node. A drain electrode of the first transistor is electrically coupled to the storage node. A source electrode of the first transistor is electrically coupled to a low-side search-line. A gate electrode of the charge control transistor coupled to a match-line is electrically coupled to the storage node. When the cell operates in a search phase and the first transistor is turned on, a pulse voltage is applied across the first search-line and the low-side search-line for determining whether the voltage of the storage node is larger than a match threshold during the period of the pulse.

  • Publication number: 20080023370
    Abstract: A cassette storage device is disclosed, which is capable of storing a cassette having a first connector. The cassette storage device comprises: a housing having an opening and a second connector; a tray coupled to the housing and being moveable through the opening; a first shaft positioned between the housing and the tray; a second shaft positioned between the housing and the tray; a driving end coupled to the first shaft and the second shaft; and a releasing switch positioned on the housing and coupled to the first shaft. Therefore, when the first connector of the cassette is going to be ejected from the second connector of the housing, the releasing switch is only required to be pushed slightly, then the first shaft, along with the driving end will subsequently make the second shaft rotate and thus push the cassette out from the cassette storage device.
