Abstract: An inventory management method for managing warehouse inventory and in-store inventory in real time. An inventory management apparatus is able to calculate inventory based on received inventory information and identification information of small electronic labels assigned to products. By generating an image frame, which includes the inventory information, and transmitting the image frame through a gateway to an electronic label, the inventory management apparatus allows the electronic label to display the image frame. The inventory management method and apparatus allows a location of a product to be informed in real time, so that a product ready to be run out inside a store may be replenished immediately.

Abstract: A circuit for supplying voltages to an electrode of a plasma display device is disclosed. The circuit includes an inductor connected to the electrode, a first capacitor and a second capacitor serially connected to the first capacitor. The circuit selectively forms certain paths to provide pulses to the electrode to sustain plasma discharges. The circuit provides pulses by increasing the potential of the electrode from a first voltage to a second voltage, maintaining the potential at about the second voltage during a first period, increasing the potential from about the second voltage to a third voltage, maintaining the potential at about the third voltage during a second period, decreasing the potential from about the third voltage to about the first voltage, and maintaining the potential at about the first voltage during a third period. Increasing the potential from the first to second voltages involves supplying energy stored in the first and second capacitors to the electrode via the inductor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for performing modular multiplication. Modular multiplication in accordance with the present invention includes precalculating a 2's complement of a given modulus and multiples of the 2's complement and calculating a total magnitude of end-around carries during the modular multiplication. The calculated multiples are selected depending on the total magnitude of the end-around carries, and the selected multiples are added. The disclosure includes array structures in accordance with the present invention. The invention includes an algorithm designed for Rivest-Shamir-Adelman (RSA) cryptography and based on the familiar iterative Homer's rule, but uses precalculated complements of the modulus. The problem of deciding which multiples of the modulus to subtract in intermediate iteration stages has been simplified using simple look-up of precalculated complement numbers, thus allowing a finer-grain pipeline.
