  • Accelerating phase change memory writes
    Patent number: 8301977
    Abstract: In a phase change memory, the memory array may be written in relatively small chunks. The writing of data to the array and, particularly, the writing of set data, may be accelerated using a hardware accelerator. The hardware accelerator may include an edge detector which detects a short duration signal pulse to trigger the writing of the set data to a cell. As a result, the writing of data may be accelerated, reducing the time to write in some cases.

  • Copyright Compliance
    Publication number: 20080106772
    Abstract: A method for use in reproducing pages from at least one document. The method includes, in a document processing device, determining an identity of the at least one document, and scanning at least some of the pages of the at least one document. The document processing device then displays a representation of a number of the scanned pages to allow selection of at least some of the scanned pages for reproduction and controls the selection of pages for reproduction at least in part using a rule indicative of copyright that is determined based on the identity.
