  • Patent number: 10360003
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for writing code to access data arrays. One aspect provides a method of accessing a memory array. Data is provided within a one-dimensional array of allocated memory. A dimensional dynamic overlay is declared from within a block of statements, and the declaration initializes various attributes within an array attribute storage object. The data is accessed from within the block of statements as a dimensional indexed array using the array attribute storage object. Another aspect provides a method of creating and accessing a dimensional dynamic array. A dimensional dynamic array is declared from within a block of statements, and memory storage for the array is dynamically allocated. A dynamic overlay storage object is also provided and its attributes are initialized from the dynamic array declaration.

  • Patent number: 8949574
    Abstract: A method is comprised of inputting a comparand word to a plurality of hash circuits, each hash circuit being responsive to a different portion of the comparand word. The hash circuits output a hash signal which is used to enable or precharge portions of a CAM. The comparand word is also input to the CAM. The CAM compares the comparand word in the precharged portions of the CAM and outputs information responsive to the comparing step. When used to process Internet addresses, the information output may be port information or an index from which port information may be located. A circuit is also disclosed as is a method of initializing the circuit.

  • Patent number: 8698908
    Abstract: A rolling shutter digital camera. Each photographic image of a given exposure duration is captured as a multi-frame burst of frames each having a shorter exposure duration to minimize motion blur and to reduce sensor noise by averaging. Each frame is quantized into swaths, captured sequentially by the rolling shutter. Swaths of the first frames are analyzed to select a set of best motion detection reference regions. Swaths of subsequent frames are analyzed versus only those regions, to reduce required computation, and are re-registered accordingly. Corresponding swaths of each frame are accumulated. The accumulator is normalized to the desired bit depth and written as the final image. Averaging of the multiple frames is improved by re-registering swaths rather than entire frames, because of the time delta caused by the rolling shutter.

  • Patent number: 7492376
    Abstract: A resampling circuit and method where input sample values for samples arranged along a row of a source image are received by a row resampling circuit. The row resampling circuit calculates row output values which are provided to a column resampling circuit that calculates output sample values therefrom. The column resampling circuit includes a shift register that receives the row output values and shifts the row output values through the shift register as the row output samples are calculated. The shift register has a plurality of evenly spaced sample output terminals from which the row output values are sampled by an interpolation circuit for calculation of the output sample values.

  • Patent number: 7348908
    Abstract: A linearity corrector is provided that reduces distortion in a signal processing system, such as an ADC. The linearity corrector provides a first order signal path having distortion components connected to an adder, and a filter product circuit that is also connected to the adder. A method is provided for reducing distortion by calculating a filter product and adding the filter product to a first order signal having a relative delay such that the filter product reduces, or eliminates, the order of distortions corresponding to the order of the filter product.

  • Patent number: 7346162
    Abstract: The invention provides techniques for secure messages transmission using a public key system to exchange secret keys. A first entity creates public and private keys by generating a product n of two large, randomly chosen prime numbers, and then generating random matrices {A, C}, in the group GL(r,Zn) with a chosen matrix rank r such that AC is not equal to CA, and then generating a matrix B=CAC, and finding a matrix G that commutes with C. Matrices A, B, G and the integers n and r are then published as the public key and matrix C is then kept as the private key. A second entity then obtains the public key and calculates a secret matrix D that commutes with G, and further calculates the matrices K=DBD and E=DAD. The message to be sent is then encrypted using matrix K as the secret key and then sent to the first entity with matrix E. First entity then retrieves secret matrix K using K=CEC and then decrypts the received encrypted message using the retrieved secret matrix K.
