Abstract: A memory circuit includes an array of memory cells arranged in rows and columns. A word line is connected to the memory cells of each row. A row decoder circuit operates in response to an internal clock and an address to selectively apply a word line signal to one word line and further generate a dummy word line signal. A control circuit includes a clock generator that generates the internal clock which is reset in response to a reset signal. A first delay circuit receives the dummy word line signal and outputs a first delayed dummy word line signal. A second delay circuit receives the dummy word line signal and outputs a second delayed dummy word line signal. A multiplexer circuit selects between the first and second delayed dummy word line signals for output as the reset signal in response to a logic state of a mode control signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for novel uses and/or improvements to blockchains and blockchain technology. As one example, systems and methods are described herein for self-validating digital records that may be transferred in real-time through a cross-network registry. For example, in a conventional system, minting a token (e.g., a digital record) involves writing a self-executing program that defines the transfer rules of the digital record. Once the self-executing program is written, it is deployed on a blockchain, and the digital record is minted by publishing it to a blockchain.
