    Abstract: A method for expiring display portions generated via browser devices comprises storing data relating to displays from internet locations in a memory and upon selection to generate a display from an internet location which differs from the location of a previous display removing from the memory at least some of the data relating to the displays generated from the previous location. A selection of a first location may generate a parent display and a number of child displays and when the user then selects to generate a second location at least the data relating to the child displays which were generated from the first location may be removed from the memory. The generated display may be generated across the entire screen of a television set.

    Abstract: A method for extending the instruction set of a central processing unit (CPU). Each memory location in the CPU is identified by a unique address consisting of a plurality of bits in an address word. The method includes the steps of identifying and retrieving a portion of data from the memory, manipulating the portion of data and saving the result. One or more bits in the address word are used to ensure that the method is performed in an uninterrupted manner. The address word bits used could be from a redundant portion of the address word, or could be the least or most significant bits, or from some intermediate portion. The number of bits used could be calculated using the formula n = log(w/8)/log(2), where w is the word length. The address bits could specify binary operations eg AND, OR, XOR or NOT to be applied to the data. The method could be as hardware or as part of the operating system and could be use to regulate access to a shared resource.
