Abstract: The present invention is an controller for dynamically allocating RAM between powersave code copied from ROM and transient RAM memory used for storing packets. When the utilization of the transient RAM memory is low, code segments are copied from ROM and executed from RAM using a RAM pointer table which is updated after the code segments are copied over from ROM, and when the utilization of the transient RAM memory is high, code segments are deallocated from RAM and the pointer table is updated to point to the corresponding location in flash ROM.

Abstract: A multi-thread processor has a canonical thread map register which outputs a sequence of thread_id values indicating a current thread for execution. The thread map register is programmable to provide granularity of number of cycles of the canonical sequence assigned to each thread. In one example of the invention, the thread map register has repeating thread identifiers in a sequential or non-sequential manner to overcome memory latency and avoid thread stalls. In another example of the invention, separate interrupt tasks are placed on each thread to reduce interrupt processing latency.

Abstract: A code decompression engine reads compressed code from a memory containing a series of code parts and a dictionary part. The code parts each have a bit indicating compressed or uncompressed. When the code part is compressed, it has a value indicating the number of segments, followed by the segments, followed by an index into the dictionary part. The decompressed instruction is the dictionary value specified by the index, which is modified by the segments. Each segment describes the modification to the dictionary part specified by the index by a mask type, a mask offset, and a mask.

Abstract: The present invention provides an analog-digital hybrid architecture, which performs 256 multiplications and additions at a time. The system comprises 256 Processing Elements (PE) (108), which are arranged in a matrix form (16 rows and 16 columns). The digital inputs (110) are converted to analog signal (114) using digital to analog converters (DAC) (102). One PE (108) produces one analog output (115) which is nothing but the multiplication of the analog input (114) and the digital weight input (112). The implementation of PE is done by using i) capacitors and switches and ii) resistor and switches. The outputs from multiple PEs (108) in a column are connected together to produce one analog MAC output (116). In the similar manner, the system produces 16 MAC outputs (118) corresponding to 16 columns. Analog to digital converters (ADC) (104) are used to convert the analog MAC output (116) to digital form (118).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for object discovery and object mapping through an application with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Objects are discovered through an object recommendation channel and through user input of key words and/or key phrases. Each object includes an Intensity of Interest (IoI), which is a relative preference for an object reflected by relative size in the object map. Additionally, the object map provides a visual display which indicates relationships among objects.

Abstract: A power saving wire-free earpiece has a Bluetooth transceiver and a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transceiver. A stream of audio from a remote source is separated into a local audio stream and a stream sent to the BLE transceiver for a remote earpiece. The earpiece is operative in a first and second mode, the first mode enabling the BT transceiver and BLE transceiver, the second mode enabling only the BLE transceiver for receiving remote streams of data. The first and second mode alternate so that the local and remote earpiece have substantially uniform current requirements.

Abstract: A low power device has a Bluetooth connection and a WLAN interface that can be enabled for high speed communication. The low power device is coupled to an application program running on a remote computer such as a tablet over Bluetooth. When a large amount of data is requested, the high speed WLAN interface is enabled as an Access Point (AP) and data transmitted or received over the low power device AP WLAN interface until the block of data is transferred, after which the WLAN connection is torn down, and the WLAN interface disabled. In this manner, the power consumption during high speed data transfers is minimized.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing signals by signal owners. Signals are indicators of data that are derived from data sources and abstracted to protect the underlying data. The signal owner first converts its own underlying data into a “signal” or indicator that represents the data without disclosing it or providing it. Signal sellers determine if they wants share signals based upon buyer, price, and other rules, including limitations on signal use. Signal buyers determine signal value based upon their objectives.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for object identifier translation using a key pairs platform in a virtualized or cloud-based computing system. A key pair refers to a pair of identifiers held by an entity. Each key pair includes at least one anonymized object identifier. Advantageously, the key pair system protects privacy and provides anonymity for objects by not disclosing the identity of the objects or the underlying data associated with the objects.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing an automated virtualized signal marketplace or exchange for signals from distributed data sources for use in advertising. Systems and methods to automatically discover and recommend which of the signals controlled by multiple entities may be most effective toward a given objective associated with advertising campaigns. Signals are indicators of data that are derived from data sources and abstracted to protect the underlying data. Each entity that sells data in the virtual marketplace first converts data into a “signal” or indicator that represents the data without disclosing it or providing it. Signal sellers determine if they want share signals based upon buyer, price, and other rules, including limitations on signal use; signal buyers determine signal value based upon their objectives.

Abstract: A traffic radar system comprises a first radar transceiver assembly, a second radar transceiver assembly, a display, and a processing element. The first radar transceiver assembly transmits and receives radar beams and generates a first electronic signal corresponding to the received radar beam. The second radar transceiver assembly transmits and receives radar beams and generates a second electronic signal corresponding to the received radar beam. The display displays a plurality of speeds, each speed being a speed of a target vehicle. The processing element is configured to receive the first and second electronic signals, process the first electronic signal to determine speeds of target vehicles in the front zone, process the second electronic signal to determine speeds of target vehicles in the rear zone, and control the display to display the speeds of target vehicles in the front zone or target vehicles in the rear zone based on predetermined parameters.

Abstract: A periodic output generator has a first clock source coupled to a first counter and a second clock source with a frequency greater than the first clock source, the second clock source coupled to a second counter, the first clock source operating continuously, the second clock source enabled when the first clock source reaches a count C1. The second clock source generates an output when a count C2 is reached, and the counters are reset and the process repeats. In another example, a timestamp generator has a high speed clock and a real time clock operative on a low speed clock. The timestamp generator receives an external event, turns on the high speed clock generator and counts high speed clock cycles C until the arrival of the next time stamp, and computes an event timestamp as the next timestamp less c/f, less the startup time of the high speed clock.
