Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of chemical detection. More specifically, the invention provides devices that can detect various target analytes (e.g., chemicals and/or biological materials) present in an environment by adsorption or absorption of the target analyte(s) to or in a chemical sensing material such that an electrical parameter (e.g., capacitance, resistance, etc.) of the chemical sensing material is altered in a manner detectable by circuitry associated with the sensing electrode pair coated with the chemical sensing material. Here, the sensing electrode pair(s) of the devices of the invention are suspended over an inert substrate via one or more posts used to space the electrodes from the substrate.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for reformatting instructions in a pipelined processor. An instruction register holds a plurality of instructions received from a cache memory external to the processor. A predecoder predecodes each of the instructions and determines from an instruction operation field where the instruction fields should be placed. A multiplexer reformats architecturally aligned instructions into hardware implementation aligned instructions prior to storing into L1 cache, so that the instructions are ready for dispatch to the pipeline execution units.

Abstract: An electric circuit for equalizing voltages between serially arranged cells. The circuit is operable to generate AC voltages at amplitudes dependent on the DC voltages of the received cells. The AC voltages are all connected to an inductive coupling circuit. The inductive coupling allows higher-voltage cells to induce a recharging current flow in lower voltage cells and so equalize the cell voltages. The circuit also operates to ensure that cell voltages are maintained in equilibrium during charging or discharging of received cells, irrespective of the individual charging and discharging characteristics of the cells. The circuit thus prevents individual cells in a battery from being over-charged or over-discharged and allows more efficient use of the full capacity of a battery without risking damage to the individual cells. The cell equalizing circuit is thus especially useful for rechargeable cells, such as lithium-ion cells, which are sensitive to damage by over-charging and over-discharging.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring the real-time of software running on a microprocessor system. Debug hardware is used to select a range of instructions or events to be monitored by a performance monitor interval with the microprocessor system. A comparison is made between each event and start and stop events are identified in the debug hardware. The performance monitor is enabled by the debug hardware, when events occur within the range defined by the debug hardware. Use of the debug hardware for enabling performance monitoring avoids any overhead associated with generating interrupts, or additional code in the application program.

Abstract: A method and system for avoiding various hazards for instructions which are propagating through a microprocessor pipeline. When a plurality of instructions exist within the pipeline which read and write the same value, a vector is established to distinguish the older from the newer instructions. Further, before instructions are dispatched for execution, pointers are generated which identify the particular instruction which had the operand or parameter value needed. Accordingly, by monitoring both the recent vector and pointers, dated dependency hazards can be avoided.
