  • Patent number: 7260662
    Abstract: A module has an IC for communication control (a PHY unit) and an EEPROM (or MCU) connected to the PHY unit via an I2C bus. When a software reset is triggered while the PHY unit reads non-volatile register (NVR) data from the EEPROM (or MCU) via the I2C bus, the module causes an I2C interface circuit of the PHY unit to forcedly toggle and send a clock signal to the EEPROM (or MCU) via the I2C bus to make the EEPROM (or MCU) recognize that interrupted communications via the I2C bus are pseudo completed.

  • Publication number: 20070143757
    Abstract: If an interrupt occurs due to an interrupt factor during a user program execution, a control program product for a microcomputer changes the operating frequency. The control program product then executes a subroutine and performs an operating frequency restoration process. The operating frequency restoration process is a common process that is also performed when another subroutine is executed.

  • Patent number: 7149599
    Abstract: When creating other tool path from two tool paths for cutting a work accurately and efficiently, the data on the first tool path is composed of a position vector and a direction vector of a tool for use when the work is cut while moving the tool. The data on the second tool path is composed of a position vector and a direction vector of the tool for use when the work, which has been cut according to the first tool path, is further cut. A computer uses the first tool path data and second tool path data to calculate a position vector and a direction vector of a medium tool path that is between the first tool path and second tool path.

  • Patent number: 6819328
    Abstract: A graphic accelerator includes an image-forming data decode unit, an image memory control unit and a screen data generation unit. The image memory control unit performs a control for writing an output of the image-forming data decode unit to a frame buffer and reading out information stored in the frame buffer. Screen data generation unit restores (interpolates) the color information based on the data read out from the frame buffer and generates screen data. In the frame buffer the information for each pixel is stored in a deleted form including two types of color information among three types of color information consisting of R, G and B. At the reading, the deleted color information is interpolated with the color information of other pixel.

  • Patent number: 6813647
    Abstract: When a serial external interface receives a port address from a host device, a CPU reads data at all device addresses corresponding to the port address from a secondary storage medium and writes the data to a primary storage medium. When receiving a device address from host device, serial external interface transmits the data stored in primary storage medium and corresponding to the device address to host device. Therefore, it is possible to transmit the data to host device in short time after receiving the lowest address.
