A dynamically variable source resistance is provided for each sector of a NOR-type Flash memory device. The variable source resistance of a given sector is set to a relatively low value (i.e., close to zero) during read operations. The variable source resistance is set to a relatively high impedance value (i.e., close to being an open circuit) during flash erase operations. The variable source resistance is set to a first intermediate resistance value at least during soft-programming where the first intermediate resistance value is one that raises V_S and thus drives V_GS below local threshold even for over-erased transistors of the sector that have a V_Goff de-assertion voltage applied to their control gates for purpose of turning those transistors off. In one embodiment, the variable source resistance is set to a second intermediate resistance value during a testing mode that tests the extent to which the corresponding sector has been over-erased. The results of the testing mode are then used to intelligently optimize the number of transistors that are simultaneously soft-programmed in that sector during each V_t compaction cycle.

The technology is low in realization difficulty, can be used as compressible correction, and only needs to be added as a sub-program; and an original program is slightly modified during CFD program coupling calculation.

A system has a variable displacement pump that supplies pressurized fluid to power a plurality of hydraulic functions. Each hydraulic function has a control valve with a variable source orifice controlling fluid flow between the pump and a flow summation node, and a variable metering orifice controlling fluid flow between the flow summation node and a hydraulic actuator. Variable bypass orifices in the control valves are connected in series between the flow summation node and a tank. As the metering orifice in a control valve enlarges, the source orifice enlarges and the bypass orifice shrinks. This alters pressure at the flow summation node, which is used to control the output of the pump. Components are provided to give selected hydraulic functions different levels of priority with respect to consuming fluid flow from the pump.

A signal conditioning circuit dynamically adjusts a compression ratio, so as to compress a signal and avoid limiting to the extent possible, thereby avoiding distorting the signal by clipping. An input signal is applied to the input of a programmed gain amplifier (PGA) or other amplifier whose gain can be controlled by a gain control signal. The input or the output of the PGA is sampled by a level detector to produce a level signal that represents the level of the signal. A variable source produces a variable threshold signal. A comparator compares the level signal to the variable threshold signal to produce a difference signal. Control logic generates the gain control signal from the difference signal. When the level signal exceeds the threshold signal, the control logic alters the gain control signal to reduce the gain of the PGA, and when the level signal is less than the threshold signal, the control logic alters the gain control signal to increase the gain of the PGA. The threshold signal varies as a function of the gain control signal.

A pipe coupling for joining two electrolyte-conveying pipes of electrochemically dissimilar metals and inhibiting galvanic corrosion resulting from the dissimilarity. A tubular pipe coupling has a pair of axially spaced protection electrodes mounted to its interior wall in electrical contact with the electrolyte. A control electrode is also mounted to the interior wall of the tubular pipe coupling between one of the pipes and the pair of protection electrodes. A current sensing circuit is connected to sense the galvanic current through the control electrode. A controllably variable source of electrical current is connected to vary the current through the protection electrodes. A negative feedback control circuit receives the sensed current as a feedback signal and controls the variable source to increase the electrical current through the protection electrodes and the electrolyte so that the sensed current is reduced thereby reducing the galvanic current in the electrolyte between the pipes. Preferably, the feedback control system has a reference input representing zero current through the control electrode and therefore drives the protection current to a magnitude that nulls the control electrode current.

Systems and methods are provided for variable source rate sampling in connection with image rendering, which accumulate and resolve over all samples forward mapped to each pixel bin. In accordance with the invention, the textured surface to be rendered is sampled, or oversampled, at a variable rate that reflects variations in frequency among different regions, taking into account any transformation that will be applied to the surface prior to rendering and the view parameters of the display device, thus ensuring that each bin of the rendering process receives at least a predetermined minimum number of samples. In one embodiment, the sampling rate is variably set such that each bin is assured to have at least one sample point. In another embodiment, a tiling approach to division of the surface is utilized. In accordance with the architecture provided, the sample points of the surface are forward mapped to sample squares, other regions, of a rendering device, taking into account any transformations applied to the surface and the view parameters of the rendering device, such that each bin receives at least the predetermined minimum number of samples. A filter determines the value(s) to assign to each pixel based upon accumulation and resolution of all of the sample points that fall within the pixel bin(s), rather than assigning a value by selecting only the point sample that corresponds to the center of the pixel. Gaps or holes left by conventional forward-mapping techniques are eliminated by oversampling the source(s), and interpolated points are generated at a higher rate than the original source signal(s) to adequately cover the destination bins. A pixel, or sub-pixel, binning approach is used that accumulates and resolves over all samples, and performs particularly well compared to prior architectures in areas that have higher frequency content, solving the minification antialiasing problem and producing a high quality result. Anisotropic filtering is handled simply with the forward mapping approach by filtering over all samples that naturally accumulate after the forward map, and via variable control of the number of samples forward mapped to the bins. A variety of image processing applications are contemplated wherein variable rate source sampling, and accumulation and resolution of forward mapped point samples can be applied, ranging from 3-D graphics applications to applications wherein images recorded in a recording/storage environment are mapped to the arbitrary requirements of a display environment.
