Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100278292METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UNIT INTERVAL CALCULATION OF DISPLAYPORT AUXILLIARY CHANNEL WITHOUT CDR - A method for decoding a Manchester-II encoded DISPLAYPORT compatible signal is provided. In this method, several counters are reset. A unit interval (UI) counter is incremented for each UI received upon receipt of a valid UI, and the value of the UI counter is compared to a plurality of threshold values after the UI counter is incremented. When the value of the UI counter exceeds each of the threshold values, for each clock cycle, a sum counter is incremented corresponding to the exceeded threshold value, and a plurality of window lengths are calculated, where each window is calculated based at least in part on the value of one of the sum counters at predetermined values of the UI counter.11-04-2010
20110085631METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UNIT INTERVAL CALCULATION - A method is provided. In this method, a clock signal and an input signal are received, where the input signal is a Manchester encoded signal. A unit interval (UI) number is incremented for each UI received upon receipt of a valid UI. The UI number is compared to a plurality of threshold values after the each increment of the UI number, where each threshold value is associated with at least one of a plurality of sum values. For each threshold value, once exceeded by the UI number, its sum value is incremented for each cycle of the clock signal, and a plurality of window lengths are calculated, where each window is calculated based at least in part on at least one of the sum values at predetermined values of the UI number.04-14-2011

20080290914Self-Clearing Asynchronous Interrupt Edge Detect Latching Register - A digital circuit may have at least two asynchronous clock domains with a controller responsive to a first domain clock signal and a target responsive to a second domain clock signal. A first domain control signal pulse is generated in response to the first domain clock signal for controlling the target. Each assertion the first domain control signal pulse is detected and used to form a second domain control signal pulse synchronized to the second domain clock signal. The target is controlled using the second domain control signal pulse. If the target is a clear-on-read register, contents of the clear-on-read register are latched in a feedback register in response to the first domain control signal pulse and provided to the controller. Each bit of the clear-on-read register is reset in response to the second domain control signal pulse only if the corresponding latched content of each bit in the feedback register is a logical one.11-27-2008

20100131510METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LISTING ITEMS GLOBALLY AND REGIONALLY, AND CUSTOMIZED LISTING ACCORDING TO CURRENCY OR SHIPPING AREA - A method to facilitate network-based commerce includes determining a site that a user accesses, the site being one of multiple sites operated by a network-based commerce facility. A category list available for the site is retrieved, the category list identifying categories of offerings available via the site. The category list is communicated to the user. The site is a regional site, and the category list is a region-specific category list.05-27-2010
