20110258694HIGH PERFORMANCE PACKET PROCESSING USING A GENERAL PURPOSE PROCESSOR - A packet processing device includes a control logic processor for filtering packets according to a set of stored rules and an arithmetic logic processor for executing packet processing instructions based on the content of the packet. The control logic processor spawns a new thread for each incoming packet, relieving the arithmetic logic processor of the need to do so. The control logic processor and the arithmetic logic processor preferably are integrated via a thread queue. The control logic processor preferably assigns a policy to each incoming packet. A policy action table stores one or more policy instructions which may be easily changed to update policies to be implemented. The policy action table preferably maps a virtual packet flow identification code to the physical memory address of an action code and a state block associated to the identification code. The arithmetic logic processor processes a packet based on the stored policy assigned to that packet.10-20-2011

20090118588Method and system for providing adaptive rule based cognitive stimulation to a user - A method and system for providing evolving, highly variable, long-term on-going cognitive stimulation over a broad spectrum of cognitive domains. The user is presented with a series of entertaining audio/visual activities customized for the user, based on the user's life experience and cognitive level, each activity providing stimulation in one or more cognitive domains. The activities themselves and their level of challenge may change, in real time, over both the short- and the long term, varying in relation to current and historical user response patterns, creating an experience that remains engaging, with on-going use, over a period of months or years.05-07-2009

20090023413Cross Coupled High Frequency Buffer - A local oscillator (LO) buffer circuit comprises first and second LO buffers arranged in a cross coupled configuration. The first LO buffer generates in-phase output signals in response to in-phase input signals, and quadrature output signals from the second LO buffer. The second LO buffer generates the quadrature output signals in response to quadrature input signals and the in-phase output signals. The LO buffers may include inductive loads. The LO buffers may include MOS transistors or bipolar junction transistors.01-22-2009
20090091396METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CALIBRATION OF A TANK CIRCUIT IN A PHASE LOCK LOOP - A phase lock loop includes a calibration loop for calibrating a tank circuit for capacitance variation through process variations of manufacturing an integrated circuit including the phase lock loop. A capacitance profile for setting the frequency of the phase lock loop at a process corner, such as a typical process corner is stored in driver software or a host processor. At power up, or after an idle time, a calibration is performed at two frequencies. The capacitances of operating the phase lock loop at the two frequencies are determined and stored. During a frequency change, the capacitance of operating the phase lock loop is determined from the capacitance profile and stored capacitances. In one aspect, the capacitance of the phase lock loop is presumed to change linearly with frequency and the two stored capacitances are used to determine a difference capacitance at the selected frequency by linear interpolating between the two stored capacitances. The interpolated difference capacitance is added to the capacitance in the capacitance profile at the selected frequency to generate an operating capacitance. The capacitance of a tank circuit of the phase lock loop is set to the operating capacitance.04-09-2009

20110304202BATTERY DISCONNECTION IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES - Systems and methods for disconnection of battery power from vehicular components in an electric vehicle upon the occurrence of a crash event are described. In an embodiment of an electric vehicle, upon detection of a crash event, an appropriate signal is transmitted through a controller area network (CAN). A battery management unit (BMU) detects the signal and then severs a power connection between the battery and one or more vehicular components of the electric vehicle. In another embodiment of an electric vehicle, a crash event is detected and a signal to deploy an airbag and/or a pretensioner is emitted. Once a decision is made to deploy the airbag and/or the to pretensioner, the BMU then cuts off battery power to one or more vehicular components of the electric vehicle.12-15-2011
