20080307208 | Application specific processor having multiple contexts - An application specific processor executes multiple dedicated applications in a system having a main control processor for controlling the operation of the system. The application specific processor includes a first context for executing a corresponding first application and a second context for executing a corresponding second application. An instruction memory outputs instructions for executing the first and second applications, and a context switch instruction for switching from one context to the other context. Context is switched in response to the context switch instruction while executing the first or second application. | 12-11-2008 |
20090195907 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FORMATTING MEMORY MEDIA - At least one rotating memory medium such as a hard disk is installed in a hard disk drive or the like. The disk drive has a controller, controller memory and one or more heads for writing and reading to and from one or both sides of the disk. The disk is scanned for defects as sector locations, servo wedges and other information are recorded on tracks on the disk. Some unused space is reserved around the track to compensate for the area lost to defects. If a defect is detected in a sector, the sector is split into first and second parts on either side of the defective space. The location of the defective space is recorded in the controller memory and is processed like a servo wedge. In this manner, only part of the sector is lost due to the defect. | 08-06-2009 |
20090292885 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ATOMIC ACCESS TO MEMORY - Apparatus for controlling atomic access to a memory includes an access request evaluator for receiving an atomic access request to an address in the memory from a client and determining whether to allow atomic access to the requested address. An access indicator indicates whether a select address is currently under atomic access in the memory, and an access release indicates whether the atomic access is completed at the select address. The access request evaluator enables the client atomic access to the requested address if the access indicator indicates that the requested address is currently not under atomic access. | 11-26-2009 |
20100011172 | MICROCONTROLLER SYSTEMS HAVING SEPARATE ADDRESS AND DATA BUSES - A microcontroller system includes at least one processor and at least one storage unit for storing data received from or to be sent to the processor. At least two read clients are provided in the processor for retrieving data from the storage unit, and at least one write client is provided in the processor for writing data in the storage unit. The system further includes a memory device provided in the storage unit for storing data, and an arbitration device provided in the storage unit for enabling access to the memory device by the read and the write client. The read clients each have a dedicated read address line connected to the arbitration device for sending a read address of read data to be retrieved from the memory device, and a shared read data bus connected to the memory device for receiving the read data from the read address. | 01-14-2010 |
20100070728 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTHENTICATING USER ACCESS TO DISK DRIVE - A disk apparatus is configured to be connected to a host device, and has a security program for preventing unauthorized user access to the disk apparatus. A disk medium stores a boot program for executing a boot process of the disk apparatus, and a security program storage device stores the security program. A processor is provided for retrieving the security program from the storage device and enabling the host device to execute the security program. The boot program is executed by the host device when the host device determines from executing the security system that the disk apparatus may be accessed by the user. | 03-18-2010 |
20100303239 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROTECTING ROOT KEY IN CONTROL SYSTEM - A system-on-chip control system includes a processor for generating a root key for protecting data stored in a memory device connected to the control system, a root key storage unit for storing the root key, and a debug port configured to enable an external device to access the control system. The processor keeps the debug port locked to prevent the external device from accessing the control system if a root key is stored in the storage unit, and unlocks the debug port to enable the external device to access the control system after the root key is erased. | 12-02-2010 |
