86 results about "Two's complement" patented technology

Two's complement is a mathematical operation on binary numbers, and is an example of a radix complement. It is used in computing as a method of signed number representation. The two's complement of an N-bit number is defined as its complement with respect to 2. For instance, for the three-bit number 010, the two's complement is 110, because 010 + 110 = 1000. The two's complement is calculated by inverting the digits and adding one.

Memory device, motion vector detection device, and detection method

This invention relates to a memory device and the like that are preferably applied to a case where motion vector is detected using a block matching. Pixel data of a first frame (a reference frame) is stored in a unit A of memory cell array portion 20a in straight binary format. Pixel data of a second frame (a search frame) is stored in a unit B of memory cell array portion 20b in two's complement format. The units A and B have a plurality of memory cells, respectively. Word lines WL related to the pixel data of the first and second frames are simultaneously activated so that charges accumulated in capacitors of each of the memory cells can be combined along one bit line BL. A / D converter 53 outputs a digital signal (absolute difference value) having a value that corresponds to a total amount of charges. When reading the pixel data, a subtraction and a conversion into the absolute difference value are simultaneously performed.

System and method for obscuring bit-wise and two's complement integer computations in software

Systems and methods related to concealing mathematical and logical operations in software. Mathematical and logical operations are disguised by replacing them with logically equivalent expressions. Each equivalent expression has at least two expression constants whose values are based on scaling and bias constants assigned to variables in the original mathematical or logical operation. Each of the expression constants may also be based on additive or multiplicative inverses modulo n of the scaling and bias constants. By replacing the original operations with more complex but logically equivalent expressions containing variables that also involve more operations, the true nature of the original operations is disguised.

Encoding apparatus and method, recording medium and program

A code sequence is encoded using a code conversion table in which the parity of the code sequence varies until the code states become equal to each other. The code word assignment used in this code conversion table is such that the decoded code word constraint length is 3 blocks and q0≠q1 for an arbitrary information sequence is satisfied even if a DC control bit is inserted at any of the first and second bits of an information word. Code states s0 and s1 when information sequences d0 and d1 resulted from insertion of provisional DC control bits 1 and 0 inserted at the top of an information sequence “1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0” are encoded starting with a state 3 according to a predetermined code conversion table are equal to each other, namely, s0=s1=6, in a third block, and two's complement q0 of a sum of code sequences c0 up to a time when the code states are equal to each other is “0” while two's complement q1 of a sum of code sequences c1 up to that time is “1”. That is, the condition that q0≠q1 is met. The code sequence can be applied to a recorder / player or encoder.

Method for generating the multiplicative inverse in a finite field GF(p)

The essence of the invention is an effective method for generating the multiplicative inverse in a finite field GF(p) where p is prime, i.e. for generating the modular inverse. This method is derived from the Extended Euclidean Algorithm (EEA). The method is for binary execution of operations during the process of generating the modular inverse, with respect to the lowest number of addition, subtraction and shift operations possible. The proposed method avoids redundant operations for converting odd and negative values, which are performed in methods currently in use. To achieve that, negative numbers are represented in the two's complement code, values in the control part of the EEA are shifted to the left, and a new definition of the boundary and control conditions is utilized in the procedure. Minimizing the number of additions and subtractions is desirable for calculations with large numbers often encountered in cryptography.

Apparatus and method for performing a convert-to-integer operation

A data processing apparatus includes processing circuitry for performing a convert-to-integer operation for converting a floating-point value to a rounded two's complement integer value. The convert-to-integer operation uses round-to-nearest, ties away from zero, rounding (RNA rounding). The operation is performed by generating an intermediate value based on the floating-point value, adding a rounding value to the intermediate value to generate a sum value, and outputting the integer-valued bits of the sum value as the rounded two's complement integer value. If the floating-point value is negative, then the intermediate value is generated by inverting the bits without adding a bit value of 1 to a least significant bit of the inverted value.

Method and apparatus for performing two's complement multiplication

Some embodiments provide a novel way of performing a signed multiplication. Each individual bit of a first operand is multiplied by every bit of a second operand to generate partial multiplication results. Each partial result is shiftably added to other partial results except one partial result which is shiftably subtracted. For the partial result that is subtracted, the most significant bit of the second operand is negated and is utilized as carry in of the subtraction operation. The most significant bit of each operand is considered to have a negative sign when generating the partial multiplication results. Also, one of the partial results is appended with the most significant bit of the second operand. Some embodiments utilize a configurable IC that performs subtraction with the same circuitry and at the same cost as addition. The configurable IC also utilizes hybrid interconnect / logic circuits to perform part of the multiplication operation.
