Abstract: The invention relates to a method for increasing the efficiency of a turbomachine, wherein a fluid guided through the turbomachine transfers kinetic energy to the turbomachine. The object of the invention is to increase the efficiency of a turbomachine. This object is achieved in that the fluid or at least one fluid component of the fluid is compressible, and that the flow velocity of the fluid reduced in the turbomachine during the transfer of kinetic energy is increased directly downstream of the turbomachine by a force FB generated by means of a force field and acting in the direction of flow, by converting potential energy of the fluid into kinetic energy of the fluid to such an extent that the pressure of the fluid, which is reduced in the turbomachine, is thereby increased again to at least 0.1 times the pressure of the fluid upstream of the turbomachine.

Abstract: In a memory area having portions of predictable access frequency, such as in a memory area of a real time clock unit, a synchronous design may be implemented by associating storage cells of identical access frequency with a clock gating mechanism, thereby reducing power consumption. Hence, the synchronous design of the real time clock unit may provide reduced implementation effort and enhanced verification capability.

Abstract: A memory access technique is provided that may be used in WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) communication devices. An on-chip memory has multiple memory circuits forming individually addressable memory segments. An arbitration unit arbitrates between multiple requesters, each requesting access to the on-chip memory. The requesters are on-chip circuits and/or external devices. The arbitration unit determines a memory circuit to be accessed for each request that is received from a requester. The determination may be based on a software configurable arbitration scheme. The memory segments may form a bank of single-port SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) devices.
