20100017183Multiprocessor Development Environment - In a method of simulating a multi-processor system by running code that simulates the system on a host processor, a SPECULATE and a COMMIT instruction is used to mark an area of memory, shared across several simulated processors, and the code is translated at run time to a form required by the host processor. All instructions are mapped to a native instruction set of the host using two different code dictionaries: all instructions outside a SPECULATE/COMMIT region are mapped to the first of the two code dictionaries. If a SPECULATE instruction is encountered during runtime by a simulator running the code, the instructions are mapped to a native instruction set of the host using the second code dictionary. Within the SPECULATE/COMMIT region are mapped to the native instruction set of the host using a second model that more accurately represents the multi-level memory of the final hardware implementation of the multi-processor system.01-21-2010

20100159996PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCHSCREEN AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method of controlling a portable electronic device having a touch screen display includes rendering a graphical user interface including a plurality of user-selectable features on the touch screen display and, in response to detecting a touch event on the touch screen display proximal one of the user-selectable features, rendering an indicator for one of the user-selectable features corresponding to a location of the touch event prior to selection of any of the user-selectable features. The indicator is rendered intermediate ones of the user-selectable features for identifying the one of the user-selectable features absent obstruction of other ones of the user-selectable features.06-24-2010

20110258542PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY WITH VARIABLE REPEAT RATE - A method of controlling the repeat rate of a button displayed on a touch-sensitive display of a portable electronic device is described. In accordance with one embodiment, there is provided a method of controlling touch input on a touch-sensitive display of a portable electronic device, the method comprising: displaying a user interface screen having at least one button on the touch-sensitive display; activating a variable repeat control mode in response to activation input; and repeating an action associated with the button at a rate in dependence on predetermined control input.10-20-2011

20100240609PHTHALOCYANINE SALT FORMULATIONS - Pharmaceutical compositions of phthalocyanine compounds with a structure according to Formula (I) are described. Phthalocyanines are photosensitizer compounds having a phthalocyanine ring system that can be used for photodynamic therapy. Different phthalocyanines and phthalocyanine salts are shown to have useful characteristics such as water solubility, oil solubility, or tunable photostability. Formulations of phthalocyanines and phthalocyanine salts that can be used for topical and systemic administration are described.09-23-2010

20110182092AN INVERTER WITH SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION - An inverter has a current sensor that senses a low side current before a high side of the inverter is permitted to power up. If an over-current situation is detected on the low side, powering up is prevented in order to avoid damage to the rectifier.07-28-2011

20120013323HALF BRIDGE APPARATUS AND HALF BRIDGE CONTROL METHOD - A half bridge method and apparatus that provides a desired output using pulse width modulation and the predicted condition of a power supply is disclosed. The power supply is operatively connected to a first one the switch drivers of the switching elements of the half bridge. The condition of the power supply is predicted using of a model of power supply operating parameters. This model is used in conjunction with a signal applied to a second one of the switch drivers of the switching elements of the half bridge to determine whether an operating criterion for the power supply is satisfied. If the condition is satisfied then a signal to the first one of the switch drivers is enabled.01-19-2012
