  • Publication number: 20130049847
    Abstract: Techniques to provide bootstrap control of a CMOS transistor switch. The techniques may include driving a control terminal of a CMOS transistor switch to a first predetermined voltage to set the CMOS transistor switch to an off-state. The first predetermined voltage may be drained to a discharge voltage and the control terminal may be driven to a second predetermined voltage to set the CMOS transistor switch to an on-state. The control terminal may be driven to the first predetermined voltage to return the CMOS transistor switch to the off-state.

  • Patent number: 8386912
    Abstract: Hypermedia documents can be published using a computer system by recursively parsing a hypermedia document to identify at least one direct linked document and at least one nested linked document. The addresses for the hypermedia document, the direct linked document and the nested linked document are remapped and versions of the hypermedia document and the linked documents are stored in a directory at their remapped addresses. The directory then can be distributed to another location on a network. Alternatively, or in addition, the hypermedia document and a document linked to it can be processed (e.g., converted to standard formats) based on predefined criteria before versions of the documents are stored in the directory.

  • Patent number: 8386461
    Abstract: Methods and computing devices enable users to identify documents using a hash value mapped to a word mnemonic for easy recall and comparison. A hash algorithm may be applied a document to generate a distinguishing hash value. The hash value is mapped to a plurality of words to form the mnemonic. To obtain the words, the hash value may be mapped to word indices used to identify particular words in word lists. Word lists may include a list of nouns, a list of verbs, and a list of adverbs or adjectives, so that the resulting three word mnemonics are memorable. More word lists may be used to map hash values to four-, five- or more word mnemonics. The number-to-mnemonic mapping methods may be used to map large numbers, such as account numbers, telephone numbers, etc. into mnemonics which are easier for people to remember and compare.

  • Patent number: 8387132
    Abstract: Modules and methods that provide virtual device communication via information packets addressed to the virtual devices. Virtual devices aggregate capabilities of target devices and represent the aggregate as an operational device to remote systems. Physical device elements and virtual devices contained within modules are able to communicate and cooperate over extended distances in a peer-to-peer fashion via a virtual bus tunnel offering addressing and data transport functionality. Such modules and methods can be combined with disk drives to form RAID-like storage structures.
