Patents by Inventor Vinod Menezes

Vinod Menezes has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6563349
    Abstract: A multiplexor generating a glitch free output. A slower clock signal and sleep clock signal are respectively synchronized with positive and negative edges of the faster clock signal. The sleep signal is further synchronized with a negative edge of the slower clock signal and provided to an AND gate gating the slower clock signal based on the value of a select signal formed by the synchronized sleep signal. The slower clock signal is delayed by a number of faster clock cycles equal to the time taken by the select signal to be received at the AND gate after the sleep signal is synchronized to the slower clock signal. In an alternative embodiment, a signal control block ensures that the 0 to 1 transition on one of the select signals follows the 1 to 0 transition on another select signal when the value of the sleep signal changes. In addition, each select signal is synchronized with a negative edge of the corresponding clock signal selected.

  • Patent number: 6237017
    Abstract: The present invention includes a data compression system which implements transformation and quantization functions using analog devites. The system includes a transformation module with analog devices (22), a quantization module with analog devices (24) and an entropy coding module (26). A data decompression system which implements inverse transformation and inverse quantization functions using analog devices is also shown.
