  • Patent number: 8867344
    Abstract: A method for data transmission in a device coupled to a host via a bus is provided. A sequence of data packets are received from the host and the received data packets are stored into a buffering unit of the device. It is then determined whether a predetermined error has occurred. When the predetermined error has occurred, the buffering unit of the device is locked to stop receiving the data packets. Thereafter, the buffering unit of the device is unlocked according to an unlock request from the host to resume receiving subsequent data packets.

  • Patent number: 8302182
    Abstract: An embedded system with authentication includes: a system read only memory (ROM), a processing circuit and an authentication circuit. The system ROM is arranged to store a boot code. In addition, the processing circuit is arranged to process at least according to the boot code in order to perform operations of the embedded system. Additionally, the authentication circuit is arranged to perform authentication on a command script in order to determine whether the command script is authenticated, and is arranged to prevent the command script from being executed by the processing circuit when the authentication circuit determines that the command script is not authenticated, wherein the command script is received from outside a chip where the system ROM, the processing circuit and the authentication circuit are positioned.

  • Publication number: 20090259786
    Abstract: In a host-slave data transfer system, the slave device transmits data regarding its status and buffer conditions to the host using tailers inserted into the data being transferred to the host. The slave device has a plurality of buffers, a buffer management circuit which manages the buffers and obtains buffer condition information (e.g. amount of available buffer space, amount of buffered data to be transferred to the host), a detection circuit which collects interrupt status of the slave, a processing circuit which generates headers or tailers containing the buffer conditions information and interrupt status, and a merging circuit which merges multiple data segments received from the data-source/data-destination device and associated headers and tailers to generate a stream of merged data. The host obtains the buffer condition information from the tailers, and uses it to determine the amount of data to transmit or receive from the slave.

  • Patent number: 6978559
    Abstract: A lining has a vamp member, a sole member and an inner sole. The vamp member is stitched to the body portion of the sole member directly. The vamp member further has a periphery portion bent inwards under and attached on a bottom side of the sole member at where a portion of the sole member is adapt to bear a heel portion of the foot thereon. The inner sole has a portion attached on a bottom side of the sole member and a periphery portion attached on the vamp member via a glue layer. The inner sole has a waterproof and ventilation layer and two non-weave fabrics attached on the opposite sides respectively.
