InactiveUS20120330869A1Facilitate the necessary orientationEasy to createDigital computer detailsBiological neural network modelsVision basedEngineering
A mental-model elicitation process and apparatus, called the Mental-Model Elicitation Device (MMED) is described. The MMED is used to give rise to more effective end-user mental-modeling activities that require executive function and working memory functionality. The method and apparatus is visual analysis based, allowing visual and other sensory representations to be given to thoughts, attitudes, and interpretations of a user about a given visualization of a mental-model, or aggregations of such visualizations and their respective blending. Other configurations of the apparatus and steps of the process may be created without departing from the spirit of the invention as disclosed.

DRAM chip device well-communicated with flash memory chip and multi-chip package comprising such a device
An SDRAM memory chip device comprises a non-volatile memory controller for operating a non-volatile memory, e.g., a NAND-flash, and a FIFO memory buffer. The FIFO memory buffer serves to operate background store and load operations between a FIFO buffer array and the non-volatile memory, while a host system such as a CPU exchanges data with the SDRAM work memory. The SDRAM memory chip device, therefore, has at least two additional pins as compared with conventional SDRAM standard for generating a set of additional commands. These commands are employed by the FIFO memory buffer to manage the data transfer between the FIFO buffer and each of the non-volatile memory and the volatile SDRAM memory. Two further pins reflecting the flash memory status provide appropriate issuance of load or store signals by the host system.

Method and apparatus for conducting crypto-ignition processes between thin client devices and server devices over data networks
InactiveUS6263437B1Key distribution for secure communicationMultiple keys/algorithms usageTraffic capacityKey-agreement protocol
A crypto-ignition process is needed to establish an encrypted communication protocol between two devices connected by an insecure communication link. The present invention introduces a method of creating an identical secret key to two communicating parties is conducted between a thin device and a server computer over an insecure data network. The thin device generally has limited computing power and working memory and the server computer may communicate with a plurality of such thin devices. To ensure the security of the secret key on both sides and reduce traffic in the network, only a pair of public values is exchanged between the thin device and the server computer over the data network. Each side generates its own secret key from a self-generated private value along with the received counterpart's public value according to a commonly used key agreement protocol, such as the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol. To ensure that the generated secret keys are identical on both sides, a verification process is followed by exchanging a message encrypted by one of two generated secret keys. The secret keys are proved to be identical and secret when the encrypted message is successfully decrypted by the other secret key. To reduce network traffic, the verification process is piggybacked with a session request from the thin device to establish a secure and authentic communication session with the server computer. The present invention enables the automatic delivery of the secret keys, without requiring significant computing power and working memory, between each of the thin clients respectively with the server computer.

Memory management for application loading
Some embodiments can load one or more applications into working memory from persistent storage when permitted by a memory pressure level of a mobile device. Loading the applications into working memory enables the applications to be launched into the foreground quickly when the user indicates the desire to launch. Some embodiments may identify a set of applications that are designated for providing snapshots to be displayed when the mobile device is in a dock mode. Certain embodiments may determine a current memory pressure level. Some embodiments may load an application in the set of applications into working memory from a persistent storage responsive to determining that the memory pressure level is below a threshold. Certain embodiments may continue to load additional applications responsive to determining that the memory pressure level is below the threshold. After determining that the memory pressure level is above the threshold, some embodiments may reclaim memory.

An MFP can transmit image data read by a scanner by attaching it to E-mail. At the time of transmission, the image data input by the scanner and stored in a work memory is converted into mail data so as to be transmitted by E-mail, and the mail data is stored again into the work memory. The mail data is divided every predetermined reference data size into divided files which are sequentially transmitted as divided mails. When completion of transmission of divided mails corresponding to a unit image is confirmed, the image data and mail data of the unit image are eliminated from the work memory. By sequentially performing such a process, the memory use efficiency can be improved while holding image data of a unit image which has not been transmitted yet.

A system comprises an instruction processor (10), a flash memory device (14a), a flash control circuit (14) and a working memory (16). Instructions of an interrupt program are kept stored in the flash memory device (14a). When the instruction processor (10) receives an interrupt signal, the instruction processor (10) executes loading instructions, to cause the flash control circuit (14) to load said instructions of the interrupt program from the flash memory device (14a) into the working memory (16). The instructions of the interrupt program are subsequently executed with the instruction processor (10) from the working memory (16). Preferably it is tested whether a copy of said instructions of the interrupt program is stored in the working memory (16) at the time of the interrupt. If the copy is found stored, execution of said instructions from the copy is started before completing execution of of access instructions that were in progress at the time of the interrupt. If the copy is not found stored, execution of the access instructions is first completed and subsequently the instruction processor (10) executes the loading instructions, followed by execution of the instructions of the copy of interrupt program from the working memory (16).
