20120151185 | FINE-GRAINED PRIVILEGE ESCALATION - A processor and a method for privilege escalation in a processor are provided. The method may comprise fetching an instruction from a fetch address, where the instruction requires the processor to be in supervisor mode for execution, and determining whether the fetch address is within a predetermined address range. The instruction is filtered through an instruction mask and then it is determined whether the instruction, after being filtered through the mask, equals the value in an instruction value compare register. The processor privilege is raised to supervisor mode for execution of the instruction in response to the fetch address being within the predetermined address range and the filtered instruction equaling the value in the instruction value compare register, wherein the processor privilege is raised to supervisor mode without use of an interrupt. The processor privilege returns to its previous level after execution of the instruction. | 06-14-2012 |

20100117985 | CAPACITIVE TOUCH SCREEN AND STRATEGIC GEOMETRY ISOLATION PATTERNING METHOD FOR MAKING TOUCH SCREENS - A new patterning technique, known as Strategic Geometry Isolation (SGI), is used to pattern conductive film structures using laser ablation. In addition to ITO films, SGI may also be used to pattern any other conductive film amenable to ablation with a laser or other directed energy beam. Instead of ablating large areas of ITO to create an ITO void through which underlying layers in a MIPC can project a capacitive field, the SGI patterning technique involves leaving in place, but electrically isolating, the areas that would have been ablated. The electrical isolation of these areas may be accomplished with a single pass of the ablation path. In use, the electrically isolated areas behave similarly to the ITO voids/ablated areas, allowing the underlying capacitive field to project through them. The coupling provided by the electrically isolated areas for the combined layers enhances the capacitive field of the underlying layers. | 05-13-2010 |
