  • Patent number: 10388357
    Abstract: In an approach to activating at least one memory core circuit of a plurality of memory core circuits in an integrated circuit, one or more computer processors activate a clock signal of a currently selected memory core circuit. The one or more computer processors activate the clock signal of a previously selected memory core circuit to allow the previously selected memory core circuit to be set to a deselected operating mode. The one or more computer processors forward an output bit generated by a memory core circuit selected from a plurality of memory core circuits to a multiplexed bit line.

  • Patent number: 9922154
    Abstract: A computer system may obtain a first schematic design netlist for a first IC design and a second schematic design netlist for a second IC design. The computer system may normalize the first netlist and the second netlist. The computer system may determine that the normalized first netlist is the same as the normalized second netlist. The computer system may obtain a first layout design data for the first IC design and a second layout design data for the second IC design. The computer system may determine that the first layout data is the same as the second layout data. The computer system may copy a sign-off data of the first IC design to the second IC design.

  • Patent number: 9882228
    Abstract: The invention describes an air-breathing fuel cell for the oxidation of ions with air or oxygen, having an anode half cell and a cathode half cell. A first ion-conducting membrane and a second ion-conducting membrane is introduced between the half cells, and the second ion-conducting membrane is coated at least in regions on the side orientated towards the cathode half cell with a catalyst for the reduction of oxygen. According to the invention, the air-breathing fuel cell is characterised in that an oxidation zone for the oxidation of ions with negative standard electrode potential is provided between the ion-conducting membranes.

  • Patent number: 9837143
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for reducing power consumption during the operation of a SRAM cell. Embodiments of the present invention reduce power consumption by determining switching activity, and based off a determination of low switching activity, gates off a core which is not written; and limits switching activity on the unaddressed core by applying the highest order bit.

  • Patent number: 9761304
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a static random access memory array. The static random access memory array includes at least two cores, wherein only one of the cores is written at a time. The integrated circuit further includes a tristate driver. The tristate driver is configured to apply a high impedance state to one of the cores that is not being written. A corresponding electronic dataset product includes a description for the integrated circuit expressed in a hardware description language. A corresponding computer-implemented method generates an electronic description for the integrated circuit expressed in a hardware description language.
