  • Patent number: 6968438
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for enabling the reuse of algorithms in multiple application frameworks with no alterations required of the algorithm once it is developed. An inverted memory allocation mechanism enables various algorithm modules to be integrated into a single application without modifying the source code of the algorithm modules. An algorithm module is designed in a manner that renders the algorithm module reentrant within a preemptive environment. Each data access instruction of the algorithm module is coded in a manner that renders the algorithm module and all of the data access instructions relocatable. A memory interface is provided within the algorithm module that supports both design-time object instantiation and dynamic object instantiation.

  • Patent number: 6820184
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for enabling the reuse of algorithms in multiple application frameworks with no alterations required of the algorithm once it is developed. An inverted memory allocation mechanism enables various algorithm modules to be integrated into a single application without modifying the source code of the algorithm modules. A plurality of algorithm modules is combined with a framework to form the software program. Each of the plurality of algorithm modules has a memory interface which responds to a memory allocation inquiry with memory usage requirements of an instance of the algorithm module. The software program is then loaded on a hardware platform and executed. During execution, the framework sends a query to the memory interface of each of the plurality of algorithm modules to request memory usage requirements for each instance of each of the plurality of algorithm modules.

  • Patent number: 6691298
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for enabling the reuse of algorithms in multiple application frameworks with no alterations required of the algorithm once it is developed. An inverted memory allocation mechanism enables various algorithm modules to be integrated into a single application without modifying the source code of the algorithm modules. During a design phase of an application, a set of algorithm modules is linked with a calling program to form an initial software program. Each of the set of algorithm modules has a memory interface which responds to a memory allocation inquiry with memory usage requirements of an instance of the algorithm module. The calling program sends a query to the memory interface of each algorithm module to request memory usage requirements for each instance of the algorithm module. A response is then sent from the memory interface of each algorithm module identifying memory usage requirements for each instance of the algorithm module.

  • Patent number: 6656523
    Abstract: A solar-control glass that has acceptable visible light transmission, absorbs near infrared wavelength light (NIR) and reflects midrange infrared light (low emissivity mid IR) along with a preselected color within the visible light spectrum for reflected light is provided. Also provided is a method of producing the improved, coated, solar-controlled glass. The improved glass has a solar energy (NIR) absorbing layer comprising tin oxide having a dopant such as antimony and a low emissivity control layer (low emissivity) capable of reflecting midrange infrared light and comprising tin oxide having fluorine and/or phosphorus dopant. A separate iridescence color suppressing layer as described in the prior art is generally not needed to achieve a neutral (colorless) appearance for the coated glass, however an iridescence suppressing layer or other layers may be combined with the two layer assemblage provided by the present invention.

  • Patent number: 6560722
    Abstract: To address the need for enhanced real-time analysis, Texas Instruments Inc. has developed a standard embedded infrastructure for its DSPs that provides unique visibility into real-time program execution. Integrated with TI's Code Composer Studio development environment, this infrastructure consists of two components: 1) DSP/BIOS, a tiny target-based run-time system that captures event and statistical information for the application and uploads it to the host (via a standard physical link such as JTAG) as the application executes in real-time; this DSP/BIOS system is integrated with the target application (C or DSP assembler); 2) Scope, a suite of host-based tools that allows designers to visually trace, monitor, and probe the DSP application as it executes in real time.

  • Patent number: 5829725
    Abstract: A garment hanger bracket has an eyelet member and a hook member integrally connected thereto. The eyelet member has an eyelet for receiving thereinto the base and hook portions of an automotive garment hanger. The hook member has an over-sized J-shape configuration. The rear surface of the eyelet member is flat and covered by a backing composed of a foam layer covered by a protective covering, such as mylar, which serves to protect the foam layer from wear. A foam insert is provided within the eyelet of the eyelet member, and is bonded to the foam layer. The foam insert is pivotable with respect to a basal edge portion of the eyelet by the backing being cut along the edge of the eyelet everywhere except the basal edge portion. Alternatively, the foam insert and the backing have a slot-shaped cut-out for snugly receiving an automotive garment hanger.

  • Patent number: 5392448
    Abstract: A data processor, such as a digital signal processor, that has augmented memory, I/O and math units for real-time performance of complex functions, is placed under the control of a group of abstract object-oriented modules arranged with an underlying operational nucleus that includes a real-time kernel. The modules are hierarchically configured, with the lowest being an array object type that references memory allocations. A stream object type, based on the arrays, defines channels between application software and data devices. A vector object type, also based on the arrays, establishes structure within allocated blocks and also enables vector math functions to be undertaken by the vector module. Matrix and filter object types utilize the arrays and vectors in sequences controlled by the corresponding matrix and vector modules.
