Abstract: An electronic device having a scratchpad memory and a management method are provided. A recording circuit records multiple counter values which correspond to entries in a Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB). A virtual address is matched with a first entry. If a cache miss occurs, the recording circuit updates a first counter value corresponding to the first entry, and determines if the first counter value meets a threshold criterion. If the first counter value meets the threshold criterion, the recording circuit transmits an interrupts signal to a processing unit, and the processing unit moves data into the scratchpad memory. If the first counter value does not meet the threshold criterion, the data is moved into a cache.

Also disclosed is a method of irrigating ocular tissues of a patient, in which the method comprises introducing to the ocular tissues of the patient an ophthalmic irrigating solution comprising ?-PGA) and/or salt thereof in an amount sufficient to irrigate the ocular tissues of the patient.

Abstract: A multi-point temperature sensing method for integrated circuit chips and a system of the same are revealed. The system includes at least one slave temperature sensor embedded at preset positions for measuring temperature of a block and a master temperature sensor embedded in an integrated circuit chip and electrically connected to each slave temperature sensor. Variations of the slave temperature sensor induced by variations of process, voltage and temperature are corrected by the master temperature sensor. Thus the area the temperature sensors required on the integrated circuit chip is dramatically reduced and the stability of the temperature control system is improved. The problem of conventional System-on-a-Chip that only a limited number of temperature sensors could be used due to the area they occupied can be solved.

Abstract: A compressing method for digital audio files mainly utilizes a harmonic structure quad tree (HSQT) to re-arrange the frequency coefficient in each frame, and applies concurrent encoding in hierarchical trees (CEIHT) algorithm to increase and simplify the processing speed; the coefficient of the CEIHT is symbolized according to an arithmetic coding; the record of the probability of the symbol is used to determine the number of bits to be stored; the probability is in inverse order of the number of bits requiring storage, and thus increasing the occurrence probability of the symbol may greatly reduce the number of bits to be stored. As a result, the overall compressing method is done in simplified processing procedures and outputting an audio compressed file with a high compression ratio.

Abstract: A method for translating two-dimensional data of a DWT system has a stairway scan way with a border extension to translate a two-dimensional data to at least two one-dimensional data to be able to execute in the Wavelet transform. The one-dimensional data with less extension data in executing the wavelet transform not only uses small size memory but also has high transforming speed. Therefore the two-dimensional data is compressed by the wavelet transform with the boundary extension process according to the present invention has good compressed rate.

Abstract: A “virtual string” is generated for synthesizing sound produced by plucked-string instruments using recurrent neural networks. The disclosed recurrent neural network, called a Scattering Recurrent Network (SRN), is based on the physics of waves traveling in the string. Vibration measured from a plucked string is used as the training data for the SRN. The trained SRN is a virtual model capable of generating tones similar to the tones generated by the physical string. As with a real string, the “virtual string” corresponding to the SRN responds differently to different types of string “plucking” motions.

Abstract: A music accompaniment machine processes a music accompaniment file to alter a stored beat of the music accompaniment file to match a beat established by a user. The machine identifies the beat of the user using a voice analyzer. The voice analyzer isolates the user's singing signal from excess background noise and appends segment position information to the singing signal, which is indicative of the beat established by the singer. A MIDI controller alters the musical beat of the music accompaniment file so that it matches the beat established by the user.
