  • Publication number: 20140130026
    Abstract: Methods and systems for optimizing generation of natively executable code from non-native binary code are disclosed. One method includes receiving a source file including binary code configured for execution according to a non-native instruction set architecture. The method also includes translating one or more code blocks included in the executable binary code to source code, and applying an optimizing algorithm to instructions in the one or more code blocks. The optimizing algorithm is selected to reduce a number of memory address translations performed when translating the source code to native executable binary code, thereby resulting in one or more optimized code blocks. The method further includes compiling the source code to generate an output file comprising natively executable binary code including the one or more optimized code blocks.

  • Publication number: 20120280572
    Abstract: A battery system includes battery cells and a control circuit having a control pin. The control circuit determines a condition of the battery cells according to cell parameters of the battery cells. The control circuit compares a voltage at the control pin with a first voltage threshold to select an operation mode from a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the control circuit compares the voltage at the control pin with a second voltage threshold and generates a control signal based on a result of the comparison, such that the control signal is generated if the battery cells remain in the condition for a time period that reaches a first time threshold. In the second mode, the control circuit generates the control signal if the battery cells remain in the condition for a time period that reaches a second time threshold.
