20090052431METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PACKET BASED CLOCK RECOVERY - A master clock in a first radio network unit, configured for sending data packets at predetermined time intervals, is synchronized with a slave clock in a second radio network unit. To provide a method for packet based clock recovery being able to achieve the desired accuracy within an acceptable time while avoiding a high computational complexity, the following procedure is used. An estimate value is determined for the transmission delay time for each data packet in a predetermined set of data packets. At least one pair of data packets is selected that has a minimum estimate value for the transmission delay time. A difference of the reception times of the selected pair of data packets is determined. Finally, a clock estimate procedure is performed using the difference of the reception times of the selected pair of data packets to determine the quantity representative of the clock frequency difference and/or the clock time offset.02-26-2009

20110320514DECIMAL ADDER WITH END AROUND CARRY - Binary code decimal (BCD) arithmetic add/subtract operations on two BCD numbers independent of which BCD number is of a greater magnitude include, responsive to the BCD arithmetic add/subtract operation being a subtract operation, performing a BCD arithmetic subtraction operation on a first BCD number and a second BCD number, the first BCD number having a first magnitude and the second BCD number having a second magnitude. The first magnitude is greater than, equal to, or less than the second magnitude. The performing includes: in parallel to a carry generation, partial sums or partial differences of the first and second BCD numbers are computer such that a final result in signed magnitude form is selectable from the partial sums or differences based on carry information without any post processing steps.12-29-2011

20100063987SUPPORTING MULTIPLE FORMATS IN A FLOATING POINT PROCESSOR - In a binary floating point processor, the exponents of each of the various types of operands are recoded into an internal format, by biasing the exponents with the minimum exponent value of the result precision (“Emin”), i.e., the recoded value of the exponent is the represented value of the exponent minus Emin. Emin depends only on the result precision of the instruction that is currently being executed in the binary floating point processor. The exponent computations are then performed in this new format. The underflow check for all result precisions is a check against zero and overflow checks are performed against a positive number that depends on the result precision. The exponent values are in a 2's complement representation, so the underflow check simply becomes a check of the sign bit.03-11-2010

20090165846TRIPLET EMITTER HAVING CONDENSED FIVE-MEMBERED RINGS - The present invention relates to light emitting compounds, especially to triplett emitters suitable for electrooptical applications. Compounds according to the invention are organometallic complexes of a metal, preferably Ir, having a backbone of one five-membered ring that is linked to a five- or six-membered ring, by an intermediate six-membered ring. These compounds are suitable for adaptation to the emission of light in the UV to NIR range by adaptation of atoms or groups within at least one of the five-membered or six-membered ring structures.07-02-2009

20100095099SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORING NUMBERS IN FIRST AND SECOND FORMATS IN A REGISTER FILE - A system and a method for storing numbers in a register file are provided. The system and the method store single precision numbers in double precision format in a register file that is shared between floating point computational units and computational units not supporting floating point numbers.04-15-2010
20100100713FAST FLOATING POINT COMPARE WITH SLOWER BACKUP FOR CORNER CASES - A floating point processor unit executes a floating point compare instruction with two operands of the same or different precision by comparing the two operands in integer format, which speeds up the execution of the floating point compare instruction significantly. The floating point processor now executes the floating point compare instruction at least twice as fast or faster (e.g., two clock cycles instead of five clock cycles in the prior art) for nearly most operand cases (e.g., 99% of all cases). Only the rare corner cases require additional operations on one of the operands and thus require additional cycles of execution time because the integer compare operation will not work for these corner cases. This is due to the fact that one operand is a single precision subnormal number in an unnormalized representation (i.e., has two representations) and the other operand is in the SP subnormal range such that the integer compare operation will fail.04-22-2010
20110320512Decimal Floating Point Mechanism and Process of Multiplication without Resultant Leading Zero Detection - A decimal multiplication mechanism for fixed and floating point computation in a computer having a coefficient mechanism without resulting leading zero detection (LZD) and process which assumes that the final product will be M+N digits in length and performs all calculations based on this assumption. Least significant digits that would be truncated are no longer stored, but retained as sticky information which is used to finalize the result product. Once the computation of the product is complete, a final check based on the examination of key bits observed during partial product accumulation is used to determine if the final product is truly M+N digits in length, or M+N−1 digits. If the latter is true, then corrective final product shifting is employed to obtain the proper result. This eliminates the need for dedicated leading zero detection hardware used to determine the number of significant digits in the final product. The corrective final product shifting also incorporates adjustments to the coefficient of the product when the product's exponent is at its extremes and the final product must be brought to be within the precision and range of a given format.12-29-2011
