  • Decoder, method and system for decoding multimedia streams
    Patent number: 10531096
    Abstract: Decoder, system and method for decoding multimedia data at the level of a terminal by managing the energy available for decoding comprising a decoder of the multimedia data, characterized in that said decoder comprises at least one low-consumption decoding chain comprising an activation module suitable for activating a first low-consumption decoding chain or loop filter and a low-consumption interpolation chain as a function of at least one parameter representative of constraints of user energy and/or of the mobile terminal and of one or more metadata Md associated with a decoding complexity and/or with a decoding energy.

  • Asic clock floor planning method and structure
    Publication number: 20060031699
    Abstract: A method of designing a clock tree in an integrated circuit combines steps of making a list of all clock sinks 110; positioning a temporary reference insertion point (TIP) 120; grouping the sinks together with structured clock buffers (SCBs) in a set of levels 140; and moving the SCBs to improve symmetry of the tree 150. The SCBs may be of several sizes and may be positioned horizontally 42 or vertically 45 and moved within limits 46 to permit the program to calculate a complete tree.
