| 20080209240 | Pre-emptive power supply control system and method - A control system for controlling a power supply having an operating function. The power supply to supply an output current to an integrated circuit having at least one circuit block that is controllable by an enable signal or a clock signal. A receiver to receive the enable signal. A controller to determine a loading status of the at least one circuit block as a function of the enable signal or the clock signal and to control the output current of the power supply as a function of the loading status of the at least one circuit block such that the power supply preemptively changes the output current. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080267327 | Nonlinear echo compensator for class B transmitter line driver - A nonlinear echo compensator comprises a mapping circuit that includes a weighting circuit that generates a weighted signal based on a current symbol and a prior symbol and a function generating circuit that selects one of N functions based on the weighted signal, where N is an integer greater than one.

A canceling circuit generates a nonlinear echo compensation signal based on the driving signal. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080284627 | A/D CONVERTER FOR WIDEBAND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION - Circuitry for providing non-uniform analog-to-digital (“A/D”) signal conversion for wideband signals is provided. The circuitry of the invention is optimized for wideband signals because it does not sacrifice the small-scale resolution of high-probability signal amplitudes while preventing the clipping of low-probability signal amplitudes. The circuitry includes a nonlinear amplifier and an A/D converter that may be uniform or non-uniform. The digital output of the A/D converter may be further processed by circuitry that has an output function that is the inverse of that of the nonlinear amplifier, so as to maintain linear A/D conversion. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20110069791 | Parallel Viterbi Decoder with End-State Information Passing - A parallel implementation of the Viterbi decoder becomes more efficient when it employs end-state information passing as disclosed herein. The improved efficiency enables the usage of less area and/or provides the capacity to handle higher data rates within a given heat budget. In at least some embodiments, a decoder chip employs multiple decoders that operate in parallel on a stream of overlapping data blocks, using add-compare-select operations, to obtain a sequence of state metrics representing a most likely path to each state. Each decoder passes information indicative of a selected end-state for a decoder operating on a preceding data block. Each decoder in turn receives, from a decoder operating on a subsequent data block, the information indicative of the selected end-state. The end-state information eliminates any need for post-data processing, thereby abbreviating the decoding process. | 03-24-2011 |

| 20100064126 | Method and system for providing hybrid-shutdown and fast startup processes - A system and corresponding method are disclosed to provide hybrid-shutdown and fast startup processes. The system allows a computer to quickly return to its last state before power-off instead of going through the hardware enumeration and configuration of a normal full system boot. The system enables fast system startup regardless of the number of pre-loaded software as long as there is no hardware configuration change since the previous power-off. Therefore, PC manufacturers can freely add value-add software without compromising the boot time. The system is integrated into the computer's power-off path, thus delivering a true power-off state and the lowest power consumption level. | 03-11-2010 |
