  • Publication number: 20080104483
    Abstract: An error corrector with a high use efficiency of a memory includes a memory, a bus device, an input buffer and an error correction module. The memory stores data. The bus device controls a memory access. The input buffer receives and temporarily stores a coded blockcode data, and writes the coded blockcode data in the memory through the bus device. The error correction module reads the coded blockcode data in the memory through the bus device and decodes it in rows and columns to thereby obtain decoded data and check bytes. The error correction module writes the decoded data in the memory through the bus device and discards the check bytes.

  • Publication number: 20070204207
    Abstract: An ECC decoder for correcting a coded signal received, which includes a syndrome calculation and errata evaluation device to receive a code word of the coded signal for performing a syndrome calculation to thereby output a syndrome polynomial, and to receive an erasure and errata evaluator polynomial and an errata position for performing an errata evaluation to thereby output an errata and erasure value and correct the coded signal; a key equation solving device to receive the syndrome for generating an erasure and errata locator polynomial and the erasure and errata evaluator polynomial; and an errata position search device to receive the erasure and errata locator polynomial for searching and outputting the errata position. Evaluating the errata and erasure value and calculating the syndrome are performed in pipeline, thereby sharing the hardware and relatively reducing the hardware cost.

  • Patent number: 7181669
    Abstract: A device and method for block code error correction. The device includes a block code input unit, an erasing address table, an error table and a decoder. The block code input unit is used to input a block code. The erasing address table and the error table have a plurality of erasing entities and error entities in rows and columns, respectively. The decoder decodes the block code in a row direction based on the erasing address table to find data errors on rows and update the error table, and updates the erasing address table in the row direction according to a first determination principle. Next, the decoder decodes the block code in a column direction based on the erasing address table to find data errors on columns and update the error table, and updates the erasing address table in the column direction according to a second determination principle.

  • Patent number: 4607703
    Abstract: A peanuts harvester includes a truck body, plant row dividers, stalk straighteners, peanut diggers, a plant feeder, a tilted conveyer, a horizontal conveyer, a peanut stripper and a peanut collector such that the dug peanut plants are conveyed to the horizontal conveyer where the upper stalks are held by the conveyer and the lower peanuts on roots are stripped by the peanut stripper, whereby the stripped peanuts are screened, cleaned and collected into bags for efficient integrated harvesting of peanuts.
