| 20110093629 | Control Function for Memory Based Buffers - Instantiating a plurality of buffers in a random access memory by storing in the random access memory (RAM) a plurality of descriptors each containing a base address, at least one address pointer and a size to define a corresponding one of the plurality of buffers. Transferring data in any one of the plurality of buffers by using a control function within an accessing module to generate a buffer address by accessing and updating the address pointer in the corresponding descriptor. In a processor that accesses the circular buffers, the control function is one or more complex instructions tailored for computing read and write addresses to access the circular buffer using fields within the corresponding descriptor. In a DMA module that accesses the circular buffers, the control function is a hardware controller that computes read and write addresses using the fields within the corresponding descriptor to access the circular buffer. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20080282033 | PROCESSING FUNCTION CONNECTED TO PROCESSOR MEMORY HIERARCHY - Apparatus and method for employing a Hardware Processing Function in a processor system using a hierarchical memory. Embodiments of the disclosed invention may be used to enhance processor performance and functionality while maintaining cache coherency and reducing cache pollution. A system includes a processor, a hierarchical memory system coupled to the processor, and a Hardware Processing Function coupled to the hierarchical memory system. The processor is configured to decode an instruction and the hierarchical memory system is configured to execute the instruction. The instruction directs the memory system to perform a data manipulation. The processor transfers a value to the memory system. The value comprises a location of source data to be manipulated, a selection of a Hardware Processing Function to perform the data manipulation, and a destination storage location where the manipulated data is to be stored. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20090235981 | BORON NITRIDE ANTI-REFLECTION COATINGS AND METHODS - High performance photovoltaic devices are provided. Certain embodiments relate to the use of Boron-Nitride (BN) thin films as anti-reflection coating (ARC) material on Si and GaAs solar cells. A low and wide reflectance window covering a large energy range of the solar spectrum is available. For a large part of the useful solar spectrum, the index of refraction of the grown BN thin films remains constant at about 2.8. In another embodiment, a BN ARC is applied directly on ordinary window glass providing the device's mechanical strength. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100157509 | High Temperature Boron Oxynitride Capacitor - A method for storing energy in a capacitor includes connecting a first conductor to a first electrode and a second conductor to a second electrode. The second electrode is separated from the first electrode by a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer includes a layer of boron oxynitride, BON. The conductivity of the dielectric layer is lower than the conductivity of the first electrode or the second electrode. A voltage of at least 5 volts is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode by means of the first and second conductors. | 06-24-2010 |
