Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to DC power management. A sequencer may be configured to execute a first command, wherein the first command is associated with a unique group tag; compare the unique group tag to a master group tag; determine if an interrupt is detected; lock the master group tag to yield a locked master group tag; execute a second command, wherein the second command is associated with the locked master group tag; determine that an end of commands in the locked master group tag is reached and execute a sequence jump through command to put a processor back to a regular power state.

Abstract: The invention discloses a process for preparing granulated product from a powder composition comprising the mixed components (a) and (b) and (c) or (d) or both, with (a), a copolymer consisting of free-radical-polymerized C1- to C4-esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid and alkyl(meth)acrylate monomers with tertiary amino groups in the alkyl side groups (b) 5 to 25% by weight, based on (a), of a C12- to C18-monocarboxylic acid or a C12- to C18-alcohol, (c) 0 to 10% by weight based on (a) of a dicarboxylic acid having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, (d) 0 to 20% by weight, based on (a), of an emulsifier having an HLB of at least 14, wherein the mixed components are processed by a dry granulation process to a granulate with a mean particle size of 2 mm or less.

Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for hardware-based memory power management (“HMPM”) in a portable computing device (“PCD”) running secure and non-secure execution environments are disclosed. Hardware-based state machines are uniquely associated with, and under the control of, the non-secure execution environment, the secure execution environment and a virtual manager, respectively. The states of the state machines constitute votes by each of the execution environments and the virtual manager to control the power supply state to the memory component, such as a cache memory. The votes are monitored by a digital circuit that, based on a combination logic of the votes, generates an output signal to trigger a power management component to maintain, supply or remove power on a rail associated with the memory component. In this way, the power supply state to the memory component cannot be unilaterally changed by an application running in the non-secure execution environment.
