  • Patent number: 9421368
    Abstract: A system and method for relieving high blood sugar factor of diabetes includes an electric energy wave generator with a frequency effect level control mode. The frequency effect level control mode includes a control of a single frequency effect period and a control of a multi-frequency modulation effect period and controls and emits a single frequency electric energy wave to a diabetic patient's body in the single frequency effect period according to the frequency effect level control mode and controls and emits a multi-frequency electric energy wave in a multi-frequency modulation effect period, so as to reduce and eliminate a high blood sugar factor of the diabetic patient's body by the electric energy wave.

  • Patent number: 6272153
    Abstract: An audio decoder architecture makes use of various component sharing techniques to conserve hardware and reduce implementation cost. In one embodiment, the audio decoder comprises a bitstreamer, a synchronization controller, a first and second decode controllers, a memory module, a data path, and an output buffer. The bitstreamer retrieves compressed data and provides token-aligned data to the synchronization controller and decode controllers. The synchronization controller initially controls the bitstreamer to locate and parse audio frame headers to extract decoding parameters. The synchronization controller initiates the decode controller which corresponds to an identified compression format, and turns control of the bitstreamer and data path over to the selected decode controller. The selected decode controller then controls the bitstreamer to parse the variable length code compressed transform coefficients.

  • Patent number: 6119092
    Abstract: A multimedia decoder is provided with an audio decoder bypass module for forwarding undecoded audio bitstreams directly to external system components. In one embodiment, the multimedia decoder includes an audio decoder, and a bypass module. The audio decoder operates on the data in an audio bitstream buffer to convert at least a portion of the audio bitstream into a set of digital audio signals. The bypass module is configured to provide the full information content of the audio bitstream to an external system component which may be able to convert a greater portion of the audio bitstream into a second set of digital audio signals. As the audio decoder and bypass module each retrieve data from the audio bitstream buffer, they each use a pointer to track which location of the buffer to access next.
