Abstract: Telematic method and apparatus adaptively uses fuel cell power source in vehicle with integrated power system, electrical system, telematic system, and body/powertrain system. Telematic communications systems including internet, digital video broadcast entertainment, digital audio broadcast, digital multimedia broadcast, global positioning system navigation, safety services, intelligent transportation systems, and/or universal mobile telecommunications system. Network-accessible software enables integrated modular function for automated control and provision of fuel cell resources for telematic appliance and/or other vehicle electro-mechanical devices.

Abstract: A refresh scheme for a semiconductor memory macro that comprises three-transistor dynamic random access memory (3T-DRAM) cells. Similar to an internal refresh operation, an external access command is also interpreted as a read-then-write operation. A clock cycle is partitioned as a plurality of time slots by an internal clock generator. Each time slot is assigned to execute a specific memory cell operations, whereby array idle time typically needed for performing exclusively non-array operations is no longer required. An external access and an internal refresh can be operated sequentially without degrading speed performance. An internal refresh can occur in every clock cycle period to retain the stored data. This clock cycle period is less than the time required for consecutively performing the external access and thereafter the internal refresh upon the completion of the external access.
