| 20090220110 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION FOR AUDIO PLAYBACK - A system and method of improving the efficiency in the power consumption of an audio system. In essence, the technique is to adjust the power delivered from the power supply to the analog section, such as the power amplifier, in response to the volume level indicated by the volume control module and/or in response to the detected characteristic of the input audio signal. Thus, in this manner, the analog section is operated in a manner that is related to the level of the signal it is processing. Additionally, the system and method also relate to a technique of adjusting the dynamic ranges of the digital signal and the analog signal to improve the overall dynamic range of the system without needing to consume additional power. | 09-03-2009 |

| 20090103750 | SUPPRESSING OUTPUT OFFSET IN AN AUDIO DEVICE - A digital offset is combined with an audio signal in the digital domain to cancel an output offset caused by one or more analog components processing the same audio signal. In this manner, the offset at the output of the audio signal path (e.g., at a power amplifier output) is reduced or eliminated. Consequently, audible artifacts, such as click-and-pop artifacts, can be reduced or eliminated. In audio devices operating in ground-referenced capless mode, power consumption is reduced because of reduced or eliminated direct current (DC) leakage current through speakers or headsets of such audio devices. In some circumstances, the digital offset in the digital domain may be applied at substantially all times of operation of the audio signal path. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20100214032 | SYMMETRIC LOAD DELAY CELL OSCILLATOR - An oscillator includes a control circuit and a ring of symmetric load delay cells. Each delay cell includes two novel symmetric loads. Each load involves a level shift circuit and a diode-connected transistor coupled in parallel with a current source-connected transistor. The control circuit converts an oscillator input signal into bias control signals that in turn control the effective resistance of the symmetric loads such that delays through the delay cells are a function of the input signal. The control circuit uses a symmetric load replica in a control loop to control the level shift circuits of the delay cells such that the oscillating delay cell output signals have a constant amplitude. In a first advantageous aspect, due to the constant amplitude, the oscillator is operable over a wide frequency range. In a second advantageous aspect, the oscillator input signal to output signal oscillation frequency has a substantially linear relationship. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20100191779 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING FILES ON A STORAGE DEVICE - Described herein are techniques for the dynamic allocation of storage capacity between multiple namespaces associated with a storage system. Data from multiple namespaces is stored in a common pool of addresses of the storage system and data from each namespace is capable of being written to any free address of the storage system at any time. Metadata associated with each of the files stored in the storage system is maintained that tracks the particular storage address or addresses and namespace associated with the file. Storage capacity can be dynamically allocated between multiple namespaces by writing data to free blocks and updating the metadata accordingly. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20110044085 | Serially Interfaced Random Access Memory - A serially interfaced massively parallel Random Access Memory (RAM) includes a matrix of control logic sections on one integrated circuit die, augmented by a switching matrix with an external interface to multiple high speed serial signaling means. A matrix, of the same dimension, of dense memory element arrays is implemented on a different integrated circuit die. One control logic section die and one or more others containing memory sections are joined by appropriate means to form one integrated circuit stack, implementing a matrix of independent memory units. The switching matrix translates command and data content encoded on the external signaling means bidirectionally between internal data and control signals and connects these signals to the control logic sections. Each independent memory unit ably performs atomic read-alter-writes to enable software mutual exclusion operations (MUTEXes). Each and every matrix may guard against defects by having additional rows and/or columns. | 02-24-2011 |
