  • Bookmark with Audio Playback
    Publication number: 20130145265
    Abstract: A bookmark device with audio playback which includes a housing, speaker, processor, memory and a user interface. The user interface allows play back of audio content stored in memory. Playback options include playing the audio content from the beginning of the audio recording in memory, pausing the audio content, playing the audio content from where the audio was last paused and repeating audio corresponding to content of a last page played.

  • System and method for generating pseudorandom numbers
    Patent number: 7512645
    Abstract: A system that has a pseudorandom number generator and a mapping system. The pseudorandom number generator generates a random number that is mapped by the mapping system to an output value that is selected from a set of predetermined output values. To increase the randomness of the sequence of numbers generated by the pseudorandom number generator, a tap and/or seed value of the pseudorandom number generator can be varied.

  • System and method for producing precision timing signals by controlling register banks to provide a phase difference between two signal paths
    Patent number: 7464283
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing precision timing signals. A first register bank, driven by a first clock signal, provides a first delay along a first signal path. A second register bank, driven by a second clock signal related to the first clock signal, provides a second delay along a second signal path. A system control controls at least one of the first and second banks of registers to control the first and second delays, as to provide a desired skew between the output of the first signal path and the second signal path.
