Abstract: Comparator circuitry and a method of operation are provided. First and second match lines are precharged. First and second information are compared, and the first match line is selectively discharged in response thereto. Third and fourth information are compared, and the second match line is selectively discharged in response thereto. The second match line is discharged in response to discharging the first match line.

Abstract: A method and circuitry are provided, in which a first operation is performed with first circuitry. A second operation is performed with second circuitry. A first signal is generated in response to the first operation. A second signal is generated in response to the second operation. Power consumption is adjusted within the second circuitry in response to the first and second signals.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for operating a document assembly system. Assembly is initiated of a set of documents in a sequence. Improper assembly is detected of a particular one of the documents. Assembly is reinitiated of a replacement for the particular document after each preceding document in the sequence of the set is no longer being assembled by the document assembly system. In another embodiment, improper assembly of particular documents is detected and stored in memory, the stored indications are sorted according to the original sequence, and assembly of replacements for the particular documents is reinitiated according to the sequence.

Abstract: A data processing system is provided that includes a plurality of execution units each including independent circuits for storing and executing instructions. A circuit is also included for providing instructions from a sequence of instructions to the execution units where each instruction is provided to only one of the execution units. The system includes a circuit for detecting when an instruction in a first execution unit must complete execution prior to execution of an instruction in a second execution unit to produce correct results. A circuit is further included, responsive to the circuit for detecting, for delaying executing the instruction in the second execution unit until the instruction in the first execution unit has completed execution.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for calibrating a document assembly system. An operation is initiated of a document assembly line of the document assembly system. During the operation, an activation is sensed of an activation element along the document assembly line. In response to the activation, positional information is determined for relating the activation element to the document assembly line.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for monitoring a document assembly system. Assembly is initiated of a set of documents according to multiple document types. At least one of the document types is selected. After initiating assembly of the set of documents, assembly is initiated of at least one supplemental document according to at least one selected document type.
