Abstract: A method for controlling a refresh sequence for multiple memory elements within an electronic device is disclosed. The method involves adjusting a programmable signal delay to avoid a simultaneous memory refresh between two or more of the multiple memory elements and passing a refresh signal from one memory element to another memory element based on the programmable signal delay.

Abstract: A method for moisture detection and removal is provided. The method involves providing discrete feedback as an indication of current moisture accumulation on a surface of a perforated plane, wherein the plane includes at least one moisture sensor, integrated within the surface to form the plane, comparing the indication of current moisture accumulation with a threshold value, when the indication of current moisture accumulation exceeds the threshold value, sending an activation signal to a moisture removal mechanism, removing the current moisture accumulation from an area of the first surface bound by the at least one moisture sensor, and clearing the indication of current moisture accumulation to avoid any unnecessary operation of the moisture removal mechanism.

Abstract: An architecture for a reconfigurable network that can be implemented on a semiconductor chip is disclosed, which includes a hierarchical organization of network components and functions that are readily programmable and highly flexible. Essentially, a reconfigurable network on a chip is disclosed, which includes aspects of reconfigurable computing, system on a chip, and network on a chip designs.

Abstract: A moisture sensing apparatus, system and method. In general, a surface can be provided, and one or more conductor pairs located in a plane of the surface. Each conductor of the conductor pair(s) is insulated from one another. Water droplets forming on the conductor pair(s) thereby provide a quantifiable measurement of water on the surface. A controller can be electrically connected to the conductor pair(s), wherein the controller provides data indicative of whether or not the conductor pair is shorted.
