  • Patent number: 9204692
    Abstract: A quick release buckle is revealed. The quick release buckle includes a male member, a female member and a pulling member. The male member consists of two symmetrical legs that can be deformed elastically and a U-shaped part disposed between the two legs. Two ends of one side of the U-shaped part with an opening are respectively connected to each of the two legs. The female member is inserted by and locked with the male member while the pulling member is connected to the U-shaped part of the male member. When users pull the pulling member out, two ends of the U-shaped part with the opening are deformed inward. Thus the two legs are further driven to be deformed inward. Therefore the male member is pulled out of the female member.

  • Patent number: 9141545
    Abstract: A cache coherence manager, disposed in a multi-core microprocessor, includes a request unit, an intervention unit, a response unit and an interface unit. The request unit receives coherent requests and selectively issues speculative requests in response. The interface unit selectively forwards the speculative requests to a memory. The interface unit includes at least three tables. Each entry in the first table represents an index to the second table. Each entry in the second table represents an index to the third table. The entry in the first table is allocated when a response to an associated intervention message is stored in the first table but before the speculative request is received by the interface unit. The entry in the second table is allocated when the speculative request is stored in the interface unit. The entry in the third table is allocated when the speculative request is issued to the memory.
