Abstract: Clock signals are distributed on a chip by applying an oscillating magnetic field to the chip. Local clock generation circuits including magnetic field sensors are distributed around the chip and are coupled to local clocked circuitry on the chip. The magnetic field sensors may include clock magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) in which a magnetic orientation of the free layer is free to rotate in the free layer plane in response to the applied magnetic field. The MTJ resistance alternates between a high resistance value and a low resistance value as the free layer magnetization rotates. Clock generation circuitry coupled to the clock MTJs senses voltage oscillations caused by the alternating resistance of the clock MTJs. The clock generation circuitry includes amplifiers, which convert the sensed voltage into local clock signals.

Abstract: A packet-based processing system suitable for various applications, such as for a base station or a terminal in a wireless communication system, is described. The packet-based processing system may include multiple processing modules and at least one transport module. The processing modules may send packets to one another via a common packet interface and may operate asynchronously. The transport module(s) may forward the packets sent by the processing modules and may operate asynchronously with respect to the processing modules. Each processing module may include a network interface, at least one buffer, a packet parser, a packet builder, and at least one processing unit. Each processing module may support at least one service. Each packet may include a header and a payload. The header may include a source service address for a source service sending the packet and a destination service address for a recipient service receiving the packet.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for using the selection of an appropriate parameter at decompression are disclosed. In particular, when adaptive block size discrete cosine transform compression is used to compress data, different combinations of sub-blocks can be generated. To decompress the different combinations of sub-blocks, the appropriate parameter is selected based on block size assignment information and the address of data in the data block.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for minimizing the code length of an input address for at least one for variable length encoded data is claimed. A block of variable length encoded data is read. The block of variable length encoded data is then converted into sub-optimall encoded data. The variable length encoded data is defined in having a prefix portion and a suffix portion. The prefix portion of the variable length encoded data is used to signify the look-up table. The suffix portion of the variable length encoded data is used as an input address for the look-up table.
