Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for performing clock re-convergence pessimism removal (CRPR) during hierarchical static timing analysis (HSTA). A clock network is divided into a plurality of blocks. A top level includes clock components not included in the plurality of blocks. Block level analysis is performed to determine timing information for each of the plurality of blocks. If available, CRPR data from top level analysis is accounted for in block level analysis. Subsequently, similar analysis is performed on components that are included in top level analysis. If available, CRPR data from bottom level analysis is accounted for in top level analysis. CRPR data can be requested during levels of analysis from the other level. These steps are repeated until analysis is complete.

Abstract: A system is provided for pushing content to a terminal located within a mobile network or a private network. The system includes a network node, such as a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy, located across a public network from the network including the terminal. The network node is capable of subscribing to a push service on behalf of the terminal such that the network node is also capable of receiving push content in accordance with the push service. Thereafter, the network node is capable of establishing a network-initiated data session with the terminal. In response to the network-initiated data session, the network node is further capable of registering the terminal such that the terminal is capable of receiving the push content based upon the registration.

Abstract: A memory cell includes a fuse and at least one transistor. The transistor is used to control the programming or sensing of the fuse. A program voltage is applied to a stack of first and second conductive layers. A first portion of the stack couples the program voltage to a terminal of the transistor in a cell. A second portion of the stack couples the program voltage to a terminal of the transistor in another cell.

Abstract: Techniques and circuitry are disclosed for efficiently implementing programmable memory array circuit architectures, such as PROM, OTPROM, and other such programmable non-volatile memories. The circuitry employs an antifuse scheme that includes an array of memory bitcells, each containing a program device and an antifuse element configured with current path isolation well and for storing the memory cell state. The bitcell configuration, which can be used in conjunction with column/row select circuitry, power selector circuitry, and/or readout circuitry, allows for high-density memory array circuit designs and layouts.

Abstract: In a serial communication system having a device including a receiver detection module, this specification is directed to systems and methods for selectively reducing the power consumed by the receiver detection module, preferably when the device is operating in a low power mode. In some embodiments, a signal detection module is configured to receive a control signal from the transmitter of a device at the other end of the communications link to control the operation of the receiver detection module. The control signal may be in-band or may be transmitted on a sideband of the serial link.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for reducing memory used in storing totals during static timing analysis. Totals are stored at various points along paths analyzed in static timing analysis. Some totals may not be merged for reasons including differing clock re-convergence pessimism removal (CRPR) dominators, exceptions, or clocks. Totals at a point may be stored in a super-tag mapping table and replaced at the point with a super-tag. The super-tag includes a super-tag ID referencing the totals stored in the super-tag mapping table. The super-tag also includes a time delay value. The time delay value allows the super-tag ID to be reused in other super-tags at other points while still storing total time delays at the other points. Therefore, the memory used to store totals is reduced in many situations.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus and method for retrieving a song, and a storage medium. The electronic apparatus includes: a storage unit which stores a plurality of songs; a user input unit which receives a hummed query which is inputted for retrieving a song; and a song retrieving unit which retrieves a song based on the hummed query from among the plurality of stored songs when the hummed query is received. The song retrieving unit extracts a pitch and a duration of the hummed query, converts each of the extracted pitch and duration into multi-level symbols, calculates a string edit distance between the hummed query and one of the plurality of songs based on the symbols, and determines a similarity between the hummed query and a song based on edit operations which are performed within the calculated string edit distance.
