  • Patent number: RE50113
    Abstract: A System that provides a secured connection between servers on the LAN and clients on the WAN comprises the LAN (which includes LAN Server and LAN Controller) and the DMZ (which includes DMZ Server and DMZ Stack Pool Service). Wherein the Client Request reaches the DMZ Server it stores it in the DMZ Stack Pool Service and the LAN Controller establishes outbound TCP based connection to the DMZ Stack Pool Service that passes the Client Connection Information to the LAN Server via the LAN Controller. Then the LAN Server then generates a connection between the Service and DMZ Server.

  • Patent number: RE50197
    Abstract: A CRC code is generated from an original data, a BCH code is generated with respect to the original data and the CRC code, and the original data, the CRC code, and the BCH code are recorded in pages selected from different planes of a plurality of memory chips. An RS code is generated from the original data across pages, a CRC code is generated with respect to the RS code, a BCH code is generated with respect to the RS code and the CRC code, and the RS code, the CRC code, the BCH code are recorded in a memory chip different from a memory chip including the original data. When reading data, error correction is performed on the original data by using the BCH code, and then CRC is calculated. If the number of errors is the number of errors that is correctable by erasure correction using the RS code, the original data is corrected by the erasure correction.

  • Patent number: RE50277
    Abstract: A flyback power converter includes a hybrid clamp circuit and a corresponding power management unit that substantially optimizes the performance of the flyback power converter in its entire line and load ranges. The clamp circuit, which is connected in parallel to a primary winding of the flyback transformer, includes a parallel combination of a capacitor and resistor that is connected in series with a parallel combination of a switch and a diode. By sensing the operating conditions, the power management circuit configures the clamp circuit either as a passive clamp or as an active clamp. In the passive-clamp configuration, the switch is kept turned off. In the active-clamp configuration, the switch operates with pulse-width modulation (PWM) which enables ZVS turn-on of the main switch.

  • Patent number: RE50373
    Abstract: A system provides a mailbox communication register for communication between a host and a mode register. The mode register is to store configuration information, and write of configuration information to the mode register by the host takes less time than a read of the configuration information from the mode register by the host. The communication register is separate from the mode register and provides a location to store the configuration information for a read by the host. In response to a read request by the host, the mode register can copy the configuration information to the communication register and allow the host to read the register based on different timing rules than those that apply to the mode register. Instead of reading directly from a register that has timing variance between read and write, the host can read from a communication register.

  • Patent number: RE50511
    Abstract: During a command/address calibration mode, a memory controller may transmit multiple cycles of test patterns as signals to a memory device. Each cycle of test pattern signals may be transmitted at an adjusted relative phase with respect to a clock also transmitted to the memory device. The memory device may input the test pattern signals at a timing determined by the clock, such as rising and/or falling edges of the clock. The test pattern as input by the memory device may be sent to the memory controller to determine if the test pattern was successfully transmitted to the memory device during the cycle. Multiple cycles of test pattern transmissions are evaluated to determine a relative phase of command/address signals with respect to the clock for transmission during operation of the system.

  • Patent number: RE50530
    Abstract: Caller Name Identification, or CNAM Caller ID, is a telecommunication end-user feature that appeared for PSTN landline customers in the late 1980s. The rapid development of cellular mobile and VOIP telephony systems lead to the frequent omission of the CNAM Caller ID feature. Described is an independent end-user system that obtains the CNAM Caller ID after the call page transmission. The system operates on the user's smartphone or on a TCP/IP connected computer. A user with multiple telephone devices (i.e. a smartphone, landline, and VOIP line) may share use of this system between all devices.
