  • Patent number: 9621161
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a circuit includes a Correlated Electron Switch (CES) element and a programming circuit. The CES element includes a first input. The first input of the CES element is coupled to an input signal to be monitored. The CES element is programmed in a first impedance state. The programming circuit coupled to the CES element is configured to switch the CES element from the first impedance state to a second impedance state in response to a voltage transition on the input signal. The voltage transition indicates a fault event. The output element coupled to the first input of the CES element determines that the transition has occurred responsive to the CES element switching to the second impedance state.

  • Publication number: 20170039031
    Abstract: A method of operating a data processing system when determining a b-bit unsigned normalized integer representation U of a number x is disclosed. When the number x has a value between 0 and 1, the method comprises determining the integer part I of (x×2b), and determining whether to use the integer part I, an incremented version of the integer part I, or a decremented version of the integer part I for the unsigned normalized integer representation U of the number x based on a comparison that uses the fractional part F of (x×2b) and the number x.

  • Publication number: 20170039032
    Abstract: A method of operating a data processing system when determining an unsigned normalized integer representation U of a number x is disclosed. When the number x has a value between 0 and 1, it is determined 31 whether the number x is greater than or equal to 0.5. When it is determined that the number x is greater than or equal to 0.5, the bit of the binary representation of the number x that represents the value 0.5 is inverted 32, and the unsigned normalized integer representation U of the number x is determined using the value of the binary representation of the number x having its bit that represents the value 0.5 inverted.

  • Patent number: 8312803
    Abstract: Disclosed is a slide pull apparatus for aiding in pulling a slide on a semi-automatic pistol. The slide pull apparatus includes a shell configured to partially enclose a rear portion of a slide on a semi-automatic pistol, the shell including: a plate having an aperture of a size configured to surround at least a portion of a rear aim sight on the semi-automatic pistol. The slide pull apparatus additionally includes at least one finger tab projecting from the slide pull, the finger projection having a size configured to accommodate at least one finger of a human hand, wherein pulling on the at least one finger tab in a rearward direction causes the slide to move in a rearward direction, thereby facilitating loading of the semi-automatic pistol.
