Abstract: A gate signal control circuit of a DDR memory system includes a comparing circuit, a flag generator and a signal generator. The comparing circuit receives a first data strobe signal and a second data strobe signal, and generates an internal data strobe signal. The flag generator receives a physical layer clock signal and a read enable signal, and generates plural flag signals. The signal generator receives the internal data strobe signal and the plural flag signal, and generates a gate signal. When plural read commands are issued, the flag generator sets the flag signals according to the physical layer clock signal and the read enable signal. When a read data is received, the signal generator opens the gate signal according to a preamble, and the signal generator samples the plural flag signals to determine the timing of closing the gate signal.

Abstract: A device extracts a plurality of characteristics from a sample set. For each extracted characteristic, the device determines different types of advertisements carried in advertisement samples in the sample set matching the characteristic. The device determines characteristic values of the characteristic that correspond to the different types of advertisements. The device filters based on characteristic values of the characteristic that correspond to the different types of advertisements, the extracted plurality of characteristics to obtain respective advertisement characteristics of the different types of advertisements. The device matches the advertisement characteristics of the different types of advertisements against characteristics extracted from a to-be-detected sample, and determines whether the to-be-detected sample carries an advertisement, and if so, which type of advertisement.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein allow efficient reallocation of PoE when a PSU for a PSE fails. A PSE initially receives power from at least two PSUs and provides PoE to at least two PDs. When power from one of the PSUs becomes unavailable, the PSE refrains from providing PoE to a first PD, but continues providing PoE to a second PD. The PSE sends a communication to the second PD requesting that the second PD allow the PSE to allocate less power to the second. If the second PD confirms that allocating less power to the second PD is acceptable, the PSE reduces the amount of power allocated to the second PD and allocates at least some of the power saved by the reduction to the first PD.

Abstract: An erasable programmable non-volatile memory includes a memory array and a sensing circuit. The memory array includes a general memory cell and a reference memory cell, which are connected with a word line. The sensing circuit includes a current comparator. The read current in the program state of the general memory cell is higher than the read current in the program state of the reference memory cell. The erase efficiency of the general memory cell is higher than the erase efficiency of the reference memory cell. When a read action is performed, the general memory cell generates a read current to the current comparator, and the reference memory cell generates a reference current to the current comparator. According to the reference current and the read current, the current comparator generates an output data signal to indicate a storage state of the general memory cell.
