20110149666BITLINE FLOATING DURING NON-ACCESS MODE FOR MEMORY ARRAYS - Techniques are disclosed that allow for power conservation in integrated circuit memories, such as SRAM. The techniques can be embodied in circuitry that allows for floating of bitlines to eliminate or otherwise reduce power leakage associated with precharging bitlines. For instance, the techniques can be embodied in a bitline floating circuit having a single logic gate for qualifying the precharge control signal with a wake signal, so that precharging of the bitline does not occur if the wake signal is not in an active state. The techniques further allow for the elimination or reduction of unnecessary power consumption by the I/O circuitry or the memory array, such as when the memory array is not being accessed or when the array or a portion thereof is permanently disabled for yield recovery.06-23-2011
20110161783METHOD AND APPARATUS ON DIRECT MATCHING OF CACHE TAGS CODED WITH ERROR CORRECTING CODES (ECC) - An apparatus and method is described herein directly matching coded tags. An incoming tag address is encoded with error correction codes (ECCs) to obtain a coded, incoming tag. The coded, incoming tag is directly compared to a stored, coded tag; this comparison result, in one example, yields an m-bit difference between the coded, incoming tag and the stored, coded tag. ECC, in one described embodiment, is able to correct k-bits and detect k+1 bits. As a result, if the m-bit difference is within 2k+2 bits, then valid codes—coded tags—are detected. As an example, if the m-bit difference is less than a hit threshold, such as k-bits, then a hit is determined, while if the m-bit difference is greater than a miss threshold, such as k+1 bits, then a miss is determined.06-30-2011

20090060150Extending originating capabilities of a subscriber to devices in any telephony network - An exemplary method provides access to call origination features contained in an internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) for a subscriber of the IMS who originates a call request from customer premises equipment (CPE) outside of the IMS. The call request is received at a public service identity (PSI) server in the IMS with a phone number to which the call request is routed. An IMS internal desk number is retrieved based on the number of the outside CPE. A first modified call request is transmitted from the PSI server to a telephony application server (TAS) identifying the IMS internal desk number as a request universal resource identity (RURI). Call origination treatment as specified by the subscriber is performed by the TAS. The first modified call request is processed by the TAS to form a second modified call request in which the RURI is a number of a destination party and a P-asserted identity (PAID) is the IMS internal desk number such that the second modified call request appears as if it was initiated from a phone within the IMS. The second modified call request is transmitted to a node in the IMS for further processing and ultimately termination at the destination party.03-05-2009

20080222659ABSTRACTING OPERATING ENVIRONMENT FROM OPERATING SYSTEM - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for abstracting an operating environment from an operating system running in the operating environment. Within an operating environment, an operating environment abstraction layer abstracts and exposes operating environment resources to an operating system. Accordingly, appropriately configured operating environment abstraction layers provide the operating system with a uniform interface to available resources across a variety of different operating environments. Each operating environment abstraction layer and the operating system include adjustable algorithms that can be adjusted to appropriately provide services to requesting applications based on exposed resources of the operating environment. Abstraction layers can be configured to analyze and become fully aware of their operating environment, including identifying the presence of other abstraction layers. An operating system and corresponding abstraction layer can be run in flexible combinations of privileged and unprivileged processor modes.09-11-2008

20080244736MODEL-BASED ACCESS CONTROL - Access control as it relates to policies or permissions is provided based on a created model. A security policy is abstracted and can be independent of a mechanism used to protect resources. An asbstract model of a potential user, user role and/or resource is created without associating a specific individual and/or resource with a model. These abstract user models and abstract resource models can be used across applications or within disparate applications. The abstracted security policies can be selectively applied to the model. Specific users and/or resources can be associated with one or more abstract user model or abstract resource model. The models can be nested to provide configurations for larger systems.10-02-2008
20080301780ACCESS CONTROL NEGATION USING NEGATIVE GROUPS - The subject disclosure pertains to systems and methods that facilitate managing groups entities for access control. A negative group is defined using a base group, where the negative group associated with a base group includes any entities not included in the base group. Negative groups can be implemented using certificates rather than explicit lists of negative group members. A certificate can provide evidence of membership in the negative group and can be presented for evaluation to obtain access to resources. Subtraction groups can also be used to manage access to resources. A subtraction group can be defined as the members of a first group, excluding any members of a second group.12-04-2008
20080307486ENTITY BASED ACCESS MANAGEMENT - The subject disclosure pertains to systems and methods that facilitate entity-based for access management. Typically, access to one or more resources is managed based upon identifiers assigned to entities. Groups of identifiers can be assigned to access rights. An authority component can manage an exclusion group that excludes an entity, regardless of the identifier utilized by the entity. Access control components can utilize exclusion groups in access policies to define access rights to a resource.12-11-2008
20080313712TRANSFORMATION OF SEQUENTIAL ACCESS CONTROL LISTS UTILIZING CERTIFICATES - The subject disclosure pertains to systems and methods that facilitate managing access control utilizing certificates. The systems and methods described herein are directed to mapping an access policy as expressed in an access control list to a set of certificates. The set of certificates can be used to grant access to resources in the manner described by the ACL. The certificates can be distributed to entities for use in obtaining access to resources. Entities can present certificates to resources as evidence of their right to access the resources. The access logic of the sequential ACL can be transformed or mapped to a set of order independent certificates. In particular, each entry, position of the entry in the list and any preceding entries can be analyzed. The analysis can be used to generate order independent certificates that provide access in accordance with the access policy communicated in the ACL.12-18-2008
