Abstract:

A memory circuit that allows for short retransmit recovery times by implementing a read cache memory in a FIFO device. A circuit comprising a memory array, a cache memory and a logic circuit. The memory array includes a read pointer, a write pointer and a plurality of memory rows. The cache memory is configured to store one or more memory data bits. The logic circuit is further configured to control the output of the circuit by presenting either (i) an output from the memory array or (ii) an output from the cache memory.

International Classification:

H01L 2358

US Classification:

257665, 257547, 257659

Abstract:

A methodology of creating integrated circuits with improved noise isolation is presented. The circuitry of an integrated circuits is separated into noise generating circuit blocks and noise sensitive circuit blocks. N-type and P-type diffusion guard rings are placed around each of the circuit blocks. Substantially overlying the N-type and P-type diffusion guard rings are power supply meshes which are intimately in contract with the guard rings below through spaced apart vias. The power supply meshes not only supply power for the circuit blocks, but also reverse-bias the diffusion guard rings for improved noise isolation.

International Classification:

H01L 2352

US Classification:

257691, 257784

Abstract:

A scalable multi-power integrated circuit package for integrated circuits having spaced apart first, second and third pluralities of respective spaced apart chip power bonding pads connected to corresponding first, second, and third chip power supply nets, the chip power bonding pads disposed adjacent to a chip periphery defining the chip area, the scalable multi-power integrated circuit package comprising: a central chip mounting area for mounting one of said integrated circuits, said chip mounting area defining a chip mounting area periphery surrounding said chip mounting area; spaced apart first, second and third package power supply continuous conductive traces, each trace disposed adjacent to the chip area mounting periphery; corresponding first, second and third pluralities of spaced apart package bonding areas defined along each respective one of said first, second and third package power supply continuous conductive traces, each respective one of said package bonding areas disposed in bondable alignment with a corresponding one of said chip power bonding pads along said chip periphery such that a permanent conductive bond can be made between said package bonding area and said chip bonding pad. Alternatives include a chip scale package outline, in which one of the chip power supply nets is a common ground return for the other two power supply nets.

Abstract:

A system and method identifies correlations between locations. A server may receive information identifying an action and a location from a plurality of users. The server may assign a weighted value to each action and store the weighted value and location in a database. The database may be used to generate vector data for each location identifying the weighted values for a number of users. In response to receiving a location from a particular user device, the server may identify a vector associated with the received location. The location vector may be compared to other location vectors to determine if there is any correlation between the vectors. Where the server identifies a correlated vector, the server may send the identification of the corresponding location or information associated with the corresponding location to the particular user device.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for selecting and presenting a content item, such as an advertisement, to a user of a social network are provided, where the content item is selected based on a calculated “content propagation likelihood” for the user. A user's “content propagation likelihood” is a likelihood that an entity (e. g. , video, audio clip, photograph, etc. ) will spread throughout the user's social network, and the social networks of the user's friends, when the entity is shared (e. g. , broadcast) by the user. A user's content propagation likelihood is computed using weighted measures of various ways in which an entity can spread through a social network. A user's content propagation likelihood may also be set for a given vertical (e. g. , music, sports, etc. ) and/or a given media type (e. g.
