Abstract:
A circuit can include a module having signal pads that are configurable to route signals between the circuit and at least one external device. The module can also have unused pads that are interleaved between the signal pads. A circuit can include a module having signal pads that are configurable to route varying signals between the circuit and at least one external device. The module can also have voltage pads that are configurable to route substantially constant voltages between at least one external device and the circuit. The signal pads can be interleaved between the voltage pads. A module with one or more of these features can achieve ideal performance in both wire bond and flip chip packages with the flexibility of setting a different input/output utilization percentage within the module.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To encode (and decode) video data exhibiting increased compression efficiency, reduced overhead and smaller encoded bitstreams. SOLUTION: A corresponding encoder can produce an encoded bitstream with a greatly reduced overhead. The production process is performed by encoding a reference frame (102) based on structural information inherent to the image (e.g., image segmentation, geometry, color and/or brightness), and then predicting other frames relative to the structural information. Typically, the detail of a predicted frame would include kinetic information (e.g., segment motion data and/or associated residues representing information in previously occluded areas and/or inexact matches and appearance of new information, or portion of the segment evolution that is not captured by motion itself, and the like).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an architecture of a programmable logic device that is optimized in terms of one or more selected operational parameters while minimizing impact on the remaining parameter. SOLUTION: The programmable logic device is composed of one or more function blocks and a plurality of groups of interconnection resources, each selected type of group is connected to one or more function blocks through a program, at least a first number of one type of interconnection resource is optimized for a first operational parameter of the programmable logic device, and a second number of the same type of interconnection resources is optimized for a second operational parameter. For example, the operational parameter may include speed, area, electric power, reliability, and a degree of freedom. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
