Abstract: A method for decoding multiword information comprises multiple steps. In step (a), a multiword information cluster, e.g., ECC, including high protective codewords, e.g., BIS, and low protective codewords, e.g., LDC, is provided. In step (b), the high and low protective codewords are stored into a first memory, e.g., DRAM. In step (c), the high protective codewords are decoded to generate high protective word erasure indicators showing whether decoding errors occur. In step (d), the high protective word erasure indicators are stored into a second memory, e.g., SRAM. In step (e), the low protective codewords are decoded. In the meanwhile, an erasure bit for a low protective codeword is marked by finding high protective codewords close to the low protective codeword in the multiword information cluster and looking up the high protective word erasure indicators of the high protective codewords close to the low protective codeword.

Abstract: A high-voltage tolerant power-rail ESD clamp circuit is proposed, in which circuit devices can safely operate under the high power supply voltage that is three times larger than their process limitation without gate-oxide reliability issue. Moreover, an ESD detection circuit is used to effectively improve the whole ESD protection function by substrate-triggered technique. Because only low voltage (1*VDD) devices are used to achieve the object of high voltage (3*VDD) tolerance, the proposed design provides a cost effective power-rail ESD protection solution to chips with mixed-voltage interfaces.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to estimate the channel fade (both the amplitude gain/loss and the phase rotation) to assist the receiver to detect and recover the transmitted signal employs a continuous pilot signal such as the pilot code channel or pilot symbols. The channel estimator uses the same scrambling pattern of pilot channel and coherently integrates the continuous pilot signal to yield a channel estimate. The present invention employs adaptive integration duration to yield a channel estimate. The integration duration of the pilot signal for channel estimation is adaptive and proportional to the Doppler period. The Doppler period is proportional to the inverse of Doppler frequency and is an indicator of how fast the channel changes.

Basic display manipulations, surface fitting techniques, and clutter suppression to enhance visual exploitation of 3D imaging ladar data may be utilized.

Abstract: A virtual ground NROM array has a matrix of NROM cells in which during an erase operation the non-erasing side of NROM cells are connected to a common node for enhancing the erase uniformity of the NROM array. If an operation requests erasing on the left side of NROM cells, a positive voltage is supplied from an internal power supply to the left side for each of the NROM cells, and the right side for each of the NROM cells is discharged to a common node. If an operation requests erasing the right side of NROM cells, a positive voltage is supplied from the internal power supply to the right side for each of the NROM cells, and the right side for each of the NROM cells is connected to the common node. The voltage level of the common mode is selected to be sufficiently high in order to prevent from punch through while at the same time sufficiently low to maintain the lateral electric field for erase operation to function optimally.
