  • Patent number: 8527804
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling system access to a memory that includes receiving first and second instructions, and evaluating whether both instructions can architecturally complete. When at least one instruction cannot architecturally complete, delaying both instructions. When both instructions can architecturally complete and at least one is a write instruction, adjusting a write control of the memory to account for an evaluation delay. The evaluation delay can be sufficient to evaluate whether both instructions can architecturally complete. The evaluation delay can be input to the write control and not the read control of the memory. A precharge clock of the memory can be adjusted to account for the evaluation delay. Evaluating whether both instructions can architecturally complete can include determining whether data for each instruction is located in a cache, and whether the instructions are memory access instructions.

  • Patent number: 8406077
    Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a method includes discharging a first dynamic node at a first discharge circuit of a first dynamic circuit structure in response to receiving an asserted discharge signal. The first dynamic circuit structure includes the first dynamic node at a first voltage level and a first keeper circuit that is disabled when the asserted discharge signal is received. The asserted discharge signal has a second voltage level that is different from the first voltage level. A second keeper circuit of a second dynamic circuit structure is enabled responsive to discharging the first dynamic node to maintain a second dynamic node of the second dynamic circuit structure at the first voltage level.

  • Patent number: 7783322
    Abstract: A network selection method automatically selects a communication network for a multi-mode mobile communication device, which has operability in two or more communication networks. Plural of digit map strings and a network priority setting are provided and stored in the mobile communication device. An input phone number is compared with all the digit map strings to obtain a match result. A communication network is selected by the mobile communication device among two or more communication networks based on a current network status, the match result, and the network priority setting.

  • Patent number: 7599525
    Abstract: An image password lock system by tracing the position information of the organism or article feature is provided. In this embodiment, a photographic device photographs a movable target object to read a dynamic image data. Moreover, the dynamic image data has a predetermined shooting range set to be a whole-region image, and the whole-region image has a central region and a plurality of specific password regions. A target object image is displayed by a display device, and then processed by an image processing device, thereby calculating a center coordinate point of the target object image in the dynamic image data, compiling a password constituted by a movement position of the target object image, displaying the password, and validating the password. Therefore, benefits of a novel password input mode without any contact, an efficient anti-theft function and the like are provided.
