Abstract:
A finds comparison tool is provided that includes a presentation tier providing a plurality of interfaces for interacting with a plurality of client applications. The presentation tier allows the client applications to send requests for a plurality of analytics to be performed regarding comparing the performance of one or more funds or portfolios as well allowing mobile-based client applications and web-based client applications to communicate with the funds comparison tool. An application tier processes the requests sent by the client applications by providing the data used by the client applications, storing and retrieving of session data, and an interface for the analytics information captured during sessions so as to allow a visualization of the analytics used in the comparison of the one or more funds or portfolios.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method of implementing a circuit design that includes an initial network within a programmable logic device can include generating a first choice network from the circuit design according to a first synthesis technique and determining a placement for the first choice network. At least a second choice network can be generated from the first choice network according to a second synthesis technique. A placement for the second choice network can be determined. The placement for the first choice network can be compared with the placement for the second choice network. A placement and corresponding choice network can be selected according to the comparison, and output.

An extended universal serial bus (USB) storage device is described herein. According to one embodiment, an extended USB storage device includes a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) having a flash memory device and a flash controller mounted thereon, and an extended USB connector plug coupled to the PCBA for providing a USB compatible interface between an external device and the flash memory device and the flash controller, wherein the extended USB connector plug includes a first end used to couple to the external device and a second end coupled to the flash memory device and the flash controller. The extended USB connector plug includes multiple communication interfaces. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
Abstract:
A memory controller has an interface to convey, over a first set of interconnect resources: a first command that specifies activation of a row of memory cells, a second command that specifies a write operation directed to the row of memory cells, a bit that specifies whether precharging will occur in connection with the write operation, a code that specifies whether data mask information will be issued in connection with the write operation, and if the code specifies that data mask information will be issued, data mask information that specifies whether to selectively write portions of write data associated with the write operation. The memory controller interface further conveys, over a second set of interconnect resources, separate from the first set of interconnect resource, the write data.

Abstract:
A medicinal drug is administered to a person for treating a medical condition of the person or/and for preventing the person from contracting the medical condition. The medical condition can be a bacterial infection, a eukaryotic infection, a prion-caused infection, a non-pathogenic inflammation, and, insofar as not covered by any of these four types of the medical condition, a fungal infection, a spore-caused infection, and a parasitic infection. A medicinal drug is similarly administered non-topically to a person for treating a virus-caused medical condition of the person or/and for preventing the person from contracting the virus-caused medical condition. The medicinal drug is typically formed at least partially with salt of peroxymonosulfuric acid, preferably potassium hydrogen peroxymonosulfate.
Abstract:
Methods and systems of managing memory addresses in a large capacity multi-level cell based flash memory device are described. According to one aspect, a flash memory device comprises a processing unit to manage logical-to-physical address correlation using an indexing scheme. The flash memory is partitioned into N sets. Each set includes a plurality of entries (i.e., blocks). N sets of partial logical entry number to physical block number and associated page usage information (hereinafter ‘PLTPPUI’) are stored in the reserved area of the MLC based flash memory. Only one the N sets is loaded to address correlation and page usage memory (ACPUM), which is a limited size random access memory (RAM). In one embodiment, static RAM (SRAM) is implemented for fast access time for the address correlation. LSA received together with the data transfer request dictates which one of the N sets of PLTPPUI is loaded into ACPUM.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for mapping flip-flop logic onto shift register logic is described. In one example, a method of processing flip-flop logic in a circuit design for implementation in an integrated circuit is provided. A chain of flip-flops in the circuit design is identified. The chain of flip-flops includes first and second control signals. A shift register is instantiated in a logical description of the circuit design for the chain of flip-flops. A shift register is instantiated in the logical description for the chain of flip-flops. First and second control chains of flip-flops are instantiated in the logical description for the first and second control signals, respectively. A multiplexer is instantiated in the logical description and is configured to select among an output of the shift register, an asserted logic state, and a de-asserted logic state based on outputs of the first and second control chains.
