20090038013 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SECURITY WHEN USING KNOWN LINK KEYS - The present system may enhance security in device having a wireless interface while it is operating in a mode that may make it more vulnerable to predatory attacks. More specifically, the advent of certain development or support operating modes supported by particular wireless communication mediums, such as debug modes that allow other wireless devices to monitor messages coming and going from a wireless device for diagnostic purposes, may leave devices overly accessible while operating in such a mode. As a result, additional security measures are required in order to determine if a vulnerable mode should be enabled on a device, and further, whether another device should be allowed to establish a communication to a device operating in this mode. | 02-05-2009 |

20100003866 | Electrical Connectors - An electrical connector including a first and second assembly that are matable with one another by a sliding push fit to establish electrical interconnection between the two assemblies is disclosed. The first assembly includes a contact pin with a collar extending concentrically around the pin to define a recess therebetween, with the collar supporting on its inner surface a first resilient contact element. The second assembly includes a sleeve open at one end thereof such that the sleeve can be received in the recess of the first assembly, with the sleeve supporting on its inner surface a second resilient contact element. The two assemblies may be arranged such that, when the second assembly is inserted into the first assembly, the first resilient contact element makes sliding electrical contact with an external surface of the sleeve of the second assembly, and the second resilient contact element makes sliding electrical contact with the external surface of the pin of the first assembly. | 01-07-2010 |

20150154024 | Vector SIMD VLIW Data Path Architecture - A Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) digital signal processor particularly adapted for single instruction multiple data (SIMD) operation on various operand widths and data sizes. A vector compare instruction compares first and second operands and stores compare bits. A companion vector conditional instruction performs conditional operations based upon the state of a corresponding predicate data register bit. A predicate unit performs data processing operations on data in at least one predicate data register including unary operations and binary operations. The predicate unit may also transfer data between a general data register file and the predicate data register file. | 06-04-2015 |

20150019838 | Vector Load and Duplicate Operations - A method of loading and duplicating scalar data from a source into a destination register. The data may be duplicated in byte, half word, word or double word parts, according to a duplication pattern. | 01-15-2015 |
20150019842 | Highly Efficient Different Precision Complex Multiply Accumulate to Enhance Chip Rate Functionality in DSSS Cellular Systems - This invention is a digital signal processor capable of performing correlation of data with pseudo noise for code division multiple access (CDMA) decoding using clusters. Each cluster includes plural multipliers. The multipliers multiply real and imaginary parts of packed data by corresponding pseudo noise data. Within a cluster the real parts and the imaginary parts of the products are summed separately. This forms plural complex number outputs equal in number to the number of clusters. The pseudo noise data is offset relative to the data input differing amounts for different clusters. The clusters are divided into first half clusters receiving data from even numbered slots and second half clusters receiving data from odd numbered slots. The correlation unit includes a mask input to selectively zero a multiplier product. | 01-15-2015 |

20120079247 | DUAL REGISTER DATA PATH ARCHITECTURE - A processor includes a first and second execution unit each of which is arranged to execute multiply instructions of a first type upon fixed point operands and to execute multiply instructions of a second type upon floating point operands. A register file of the processor stores operands in registers that are each addressable by instructions for performing the first and second types of operations. An instruction decode unit is responsive to the at least one multiply instruction of the first type and the at least one multiply instruction of the second type to at the same time enable a first data path between the first set of registers and the first execution unit and to enable a second data path between a second set of registers and the second execution unit. | 03-29-2012 |
