20090327834DEVICE HAVING TURBO DECODING CAPABILITIES AND A METHOD FOR TURBO DECODING - A device and a method for turbo decoding, the method includes performing multiple iterations of a turbo decoding process until a turbo decoding process is completed; wherein the performing comprises repeating the stages of: (i) initializing at least one state metric of multiple windows of a channel data block for a current iteration of the turbo decoding process by at least one corresponding state metric that was calculated during a previous iteration of the turbo decoding process; and (ii) calculating in parallel, at least forward state metrics and backward state metrics of the multiple windows, during the current iteration.12-31-2009
20100111291SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR GENERATING AN INTERLEAVED OUTPUT DURING A DECODING OF A DATA BLOCK - A method for generating an interleaved output during a decoding of a data block, the method includes: (i) selecting, in response to a row indicator, a row register and a multiplication factor to provide a selected row register and a selected multiplication factor; wherein the selected multiplication factor is responsive to a size of the data block; (ii) multiplying a value stored in the selected row register by the selected multiplication factor to provide an intermediate result; (iii) performing a modulo P operation on the intermediate result to provide a permutated result; wherein the permutated result and the value stored in the selected row register are adjacent elements of the same permutation; wherein P is responsive to a size of the data block; (iv) writing the permutated result to the selected row register; and (v) outputting a data block element that is selected in response to the permutated result.05-06-2010
20100287343CONTENTION FREE PARALLEL ACCESS SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR CONTENTION FREE PARALLEL ACCESS TO A GROUP OF MEMORY BANKS - A parallel access system including: a group of processing entities that comprises N processing entities; wherein N is a positive integer that exceeds one; a group of memory banks that stores K information elements; wherein the group of memory banks comprises N pairs of single access memory banks; each pair of memory banks comprises an even memory bank and an odd memory bank; wherein each pair of memory banks stores sub-set of K/N information elements; wherein an even memory bank of each pair of memory banks stores even address information elements of a certain sub-set of K/N information elements and an odd memory bank of each pair of memory banks stores odd address information elements of the certain sub-set of K/N information elements; wherein K/N is an even positive integer; and a non-blocking interconnect coupled to the group of processing entities and to the group of memory banks; wherein during each fetch cycle each processing entity of the group of processing entities fetches a first information element from an odd memory unit of a pair of memory banks and fetches a second information element from an even memory unit of the pair of memory banks; wherein the first and second information elements are two consecutive interleaved address information elements.11-11-2010
20110060963METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERLEAVING A DATA STREAM USING QUADRATURE PERMUTATION POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS (QPP) - A semiconductor device comprising processing logic. The processing logic is arranged to configure interleaver logic to re-order data symbols of a data stream according to a quadrature permutation polynomial function. The processing logic is further arranged to: divide a cyclic group of values defined by the QPP function into a set of subgroups, the set of subgroups being capable of being defined by a set of linear functions; derive inverse functions for the set of linear functions defining the subgroups; and configure the interleaver logic to load the data symbols of the data stream into a buffer at locations within the buffer corresponding to a cyclic group of values representative of the inverse function for the QPP function based on the inverse functions of the set of linear functions defining the subgroups.03-10-2011

20110249803ATTACHMENT OF A HIGH-Z FOCAL TRACK LAYER TO A CARBON-CARBON COMPOSITE SUBSTRATE SERVING AS A ROTARY ANODE TARGET - The present invention refers to hybrid anode disk structures for use in X-ray tubes of the rotary anode type and is concerned more particularly with a novel light weight anode disk structure (RA) which comprises an adhesion promoting protective silicon carbide (SiC) interlayer (SCI) deposited onto a rotary X-ray tube's anode target (AT), wherein the latter may e.g. be made of a carbon-carbon composite substrate (SUB′). Moreover, a manufacturing method for robustly attaching a coating layer (CL) consisting of a high-Z material (e.g. a layer made of a tungsten-rhenium alloy) on the surface of said anode target is provided, whereupon according to said method it may be foreseen to apply a refractory metal overcoating layer (RML), such as given e.g. by a tantalum (Ta), hafnium (Hf), vanadium (V) or rhenium (Re) layer, to the silicon carbide interlayer (SCI) prior to the deposition of the tungsten-rhenium alloy. The invention thus leverages the tendency for cracking of the silicon carbide coated carbon composite substrate (SUB′) during thermal cycling and enhances adhesion of the silicon carbide/refractory metal interlayers to the carbon-carbon composite substrate (SUB′) and focal track coating layer (CL) by an interlocking mechanism. Key aspects of the proposed invention are: a) controlled formation of coating cracks (SC) in the silicon carbide layer (SCI) and b) conformal filling of SiC crack openings with a refractory metal.10-13-2011
