An embodiment of this invention uses a massive parallel interconnect fabric (MPIF) at the flipped interface of a core die substrate (having the core logic blocks) and a context die (used for in circuit programming/context/customization of the core die substrate), to produce ASIC-like density and FPGA-like flexibility/programmability, while reducing the time and cost for development and going from prototyping to production, reducing cost per die, reducing or eliminating NRE, and increasing performance. Other embodiments of this invention enable debugging complex SoC through large contact points provided through the MPIF, provide for multi-platform functionality, and enable incorporating FGPA core in ASIC platform through the MPIF.

Particulate material collected in a filter (PM) is burnt through a selected one of partial and perfect regenerating processes. The partial regenerating process starts, when an amount of PM is predicted to exceed a value between 2 to 10 g/l, and terminates, when the amount of PM is predicted to fall below a value between 1 to 4 g/l, whereby a part of PM is burned to an extent that incombustible ash contained in the filter (ASH) can not easily pass through the filter. The perfect regenerating process starts, when an amount of ASH is predicted to exceed a value between 0.05 to 0.25 g/l, and terminates, when the amount of PM is predicted to fall below 1 g/l, whereby a substantially entire part of PM is burnt to an extent that ASH can easily pass through the filter.

In a system comprising a transient storage device (TSD) or other type of peripheral configured for communication with a host device, a first one-time password or other type of code is generated in the peripheral and transmitted to the host device. The first code is presented by the host device to an authentication server for authentication. The host device receives a second one-time password or other type of code from the authentication server and transmits it to the peripheral for authentication.

A wireless communications mobile terminal conserves bandwidth by determining which position detection assisting devices within a position detection system are available for use and limiting ephemeris information inquiries to only those devices that are available. To make this determination, mobile terminals are provided with an almanac of position information relating to the position detection system. Once the ephemeris information is provided to the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal may determine its location relatively quickly and with a minimal imposition on the mobile network.

Described herein are systems and methods that that reduce power consumption for an electronics device that includes a display. The power conservation systems and methods alter background video information not needed for interactive use when a user returns to a display after some period of inactivity. Power conservation also preserves video information for one or more graphical user interface items. Preserving a graphics item maintains a person's ability to detect the graphical user interface item, and return to it at a later time, even though the background video information has been altered to conserver power.

An apparatus and method are provided for treating wound with negative pressure. The apparatus includes a wound cover, a first pump for providing said negative pressure at a chosen pressure level to the wound, a canister, a first conduit between the wound cover and the canister, first means for measuring the pressure within the canister, and a second conduit which connects the canister with the first pump. A circulating pump is arranged to intermittently transport a gas volume from the canister to the wound region via a third conduit and back to the canister via the first conduit in order to press out possible exudates from the first conduit to the canister. A second means analyzes the pressure curve over time of said pressure in the canister and a third means indicates by alarm when said pressure curve differs from a normal cyclical form.

A WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) communication device for performing communication in a WLAN network is provided that comprises a physical connection unit, a physical connection oscillator, and a control unit. The physical connection unit is for providing a physical connection of the WLAN communication device to a wireless communication medium. The physical connection oscillator is for providing a physical connection clock signal to the physical connection unit. The control unit is for controlling operation of the physical connection oscillator. The WLAN communication device is operable in a communication mode and in a deep sleep mode. The control unit is adapted to deactivate the physical connection oscillator when the deep sleep mode is entered. Embodiments may provide an extended reduction of the power consumption of the WLAN communication device.

An apparatus and method of compressing a structured document. The structured document is searched once for first and second marks, a first mark indicating a start of an element of the structured document, and a second mark indicating an end of an element of the structured document. When encountering a first mark in the searching step, a representation of the first mark is output and a level counter is incremented, a value of the level counter indicating on which level in the structured document an element is located. When encountering a second mark in the searching step, a second code data is output and the level counter is decremented.

A waste heat controller controls waste heat quantity of an engine according to a required heat quantity along with a heat-utilize requirement. When the heat-utilize requirement is generated, a fuel-increase-rate indicating a fuel increase quantity is computed. A reference fuel-increase-rate is established to be compared with the fuel-increase-rate. Based on this comparison result, it is determined whether the waste heat increase control will be executed.
