20100073535SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR VARIABLE RATE PIXEL DATA TRANSFER AND STORAGE - A variable rate image sensor outputs pixel data at a variable rate using lookup tables to selectively read out particular rows at particular times. The readout rate is not constant, allowing for a smaller image buffer in the overall system.03-25-2010
20110119405SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADDRESSING AND SYNCHRONIZING MULTIPLE DEVICES - This is generally directed to systems and methods for control of two or more devices through a shared control bus. For example, the devices can be coupled to a host system through the control bus. In some embodiments, the devices can be configured by the host system through address select pins of the devices. For example, the host system can sequentially program each device to change its default address to a unique address. In some embodiments, an event can be propagated through each device, thus resulting in each device receiving the event at a different time. In some embodiments, configuration by the host system can include programming each device with a value representing its own position in the chain. In this case, a device can use this value to delay its response to the event, thereby allowing all the devices in the chain to respond to the event simultaneously.05-19-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100228953REDUCING DATA HAZARDS IN PIPELINED PROCESSORS TO PROVIDE HIGH PROCESSOR UTILIZATION - A pipelined computer processor is presented that reduces data hazards such that high processor utilization is attained. The processor restructures a set of instructions to operate concurrently on multiple pieces of data in multiple passes. One subset of instructions operates on one piece of data while different subsets of instructions operate concurrently on different pieces of data. A validity pipeline tracks the priming and draining of the pipeline processor to ensure that only valid data is written to registers or memory. Pass-dependent addressing is provided to correctly address registers and memory for different pieces of data.09-09-2010
