Abstract: A processing device configured to induce, during a listening scan of a sense array, an injected touch to produce similar data as would be present during a touch scan of the sense array with a conductive object at a known location on the sense array. The processing device is further configured to compute, using the data, an estimate of a noise metric based on the injected touch.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide capacitive sensing devices and methods. A substrate having a plurality of pairs of conductive traces formed thereon is provided. The pairs of conductive traces include first and second conductive traces having first and second opposing ends. A capacitance variation of a plurality of the first conductive traces and a plurality of the second conductive traces is measured. The capacitance variation of at least some of the second conductive traces is measured before the capacitance variation for all of the plurality of first conductive traces is measured. A position coordinate in a two-dimensional coordinate system on the capacitive sensing device is determined based on the measuring a capacitance variation of a plurality of the first conductive traces and a plurality of the second conductive traces.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a memory device to store a pre-generated Universal Serial Bus (USB) command before a USB peripheral device is coupled to a USB. The apparatus also includes a processing device to retrieve the pre-generated USB command from the memory device and transmit the pre-generated USB command to the USB peripheral device over the USB. A method comprises identifying a Universal Serial Bus (USB) peripheral device is coupled to a USB. The USB peripheral device is coupled to the universal serial bus after a pre-generated USB command is stored in a memory device. The method further includes transmitting the pre-generated USB command to the USB peripheral device over the USB in response to identifying the USB peripheral device is coupled to the USB.

Abstract: A system for wear-leveling of a non-volatile memory may include a controller configured to allocate memory blocks in the non-volatile memory, a logical-to-physical table populated with pointers to memory blocks in the nonvolatile memory, and a wear-leveling table configured to store two or more pointers to unallocated memory blocks in the non-volatile memory. The unallocated memory blocks are previously allocated to store data by the controller according to the pointers in the logical-to-physical table. The controller is further configured to identify two or more pointers in the wear-leveling table and to store data to the two or more memory blocks associated with the identified pointers.

Abstract: A universal serial bus controller pre-generates and stores a subset of USB commands in a memory, the pre-generated commands available for transmission to at least one USB peripheral device over universal serial bus, and transfers at least one command from the subset of pre-generated commands stored in the memory to the USB peripheral device over the universal serial bus. The universal serial bus controller may receive a response to the transferred command from the USB peripheral device over the universal serial bus, and send an acknowledgment packet to the USB peripheral device over the universal serial bus responsive to receiving the response from the USB peripheral device.
