20110261604	MEMORY CELL AND AN ASSOCIATED MEMORY DEVICE - A memory cell includes a pair of sub-cells, each including an access transistor, a storage transistor, and an isolation transistor that are serially coupled in sequence with their source/drain connected. The isolation transistor is shared with a sub-cell of an adjacent memory cell and always turned off, wherein the storage transistor is always turned on. A wordline is coupled to a gate of the access transistor of each sub-cell, and complementary bit lines are respectively coupled to sources/drains of the access transistors of the pair of sub-cells, such that data bit may be accessed between the bit line and the corresponding storage transistor through the corresponding access transistor.	10-27-2011
20110113172	UTILIZATION-ENHANCED SHARED BUS SYSTEM AND BUS ARBITRATION METHOD - A utilization-enhanced shared bus system and bus arbitration method are disclosed. An arbiter arbitrates among multiple masters according to active requests sent from the masters. The arbiter sends a passive request to one of the masters in an idle period of the shared bus according to respective status of the masters. Accordingly, the master that receives the passive request may access a shared resource in the idle period.	05-12-2011
