摘要:
In a storage system, a system controller is connected to an embedded storage device for supervising writing and reading operations in the embedded storage device. A data manager based upon a microprocessor is integrated in the embedded storage device and provides a high-level abstraction of the physical organization of the embedded storage device through the definition of an own logic map. The data manager is implemented outside the controller. The controller is formed in a first semiconductor material region, the embedded storage device is formed in a second semiconductor material region distinct from the first semiconductor material region, and the data manager is formed in a third semiconductor material region distinct from the first semiconductor material region.

A biasing device for biasing a memory cell having a substrate bias terminal associated therewith. The biasing device includes a first sub-threshold circuitry block adapted to supply an appropriate current during the device standby phase through a restore transistor connected between a supply voltage reference and the substrate bias terminal of the memory cell, and having a control terminal connected to a bias circuit, in turn connected between the supply voltage reference and a ground voltage reference to drive the restore transistor with a current of limited value. The device further includes a second feedback block for fast charging the substrate bias terminal, being connected between the supply voltage reference and the ground voltage reference and comprising a first bias transistor having a control terminal connected to the ground voltage reference via a stabilization transistor, having in turn a control terminal connected to an output node, and to the control terminal of a first regulation transistor connected between the supply voltage reference and the ground voltage reference, the stabilization transistor and first regulation transistor providing feedback for the bias transistor, thereby to restrict the voltage range of the output node.
摘要:
A system and method for reporting and analysis of media consumption data. A request is received over a network from a requesting user for consumption data relating to at least one media object, the request comprising an identification of the media objects. Spatial, temporal, topical, and social data available to the network relating to consumption of the media object are retrieved using a global index of data available to the network. The spatial, temporal, topical, and social data available to the network relating to consumption of the media objects are transmitted, over the network to the requesting user.

A charge pump comprises a plurality of stages connected in series, an input terminal of the charge pump being connected to a voltage supply and an output terminal of the charge pump providing an output voltage higher than the voltage supply. Each stage comprises unidirectional current flow MOS transistor means connected between a stage input terminal and a stage output terminal allowing current to flow only from said stage input terminal to said stage output terminal, and a first capacitor with one plate connected to said stage output terminal and another plate driven by a respective first digital signal periodically switching between ground and said voltage supply. The unidirectional current flow MOS transistor means of the stages have independent bulk electrodes, and a bias voltage generator circuit is provided for biasing the bulk electrodes of said unidirectional current flow MOS transistor means at respective bulk potentials which become progressively higher going from the stages proximate to said input terminal to the stages proximate to said output terminal of the charge pump.

A system and method for distributing media related to a location. The physical location of a media presentation device is received over a network. The physical location of a plurality of end users are identified, via the network, wherein each of plurality of users is associated with a user device capable of storing media files. At least one of the end users is identified who is located in such proximity to the media presentation device that the user can perceive media that presented on the media presentation device. At least one media file that is currently being presented on the media presentation device is identified and transmitted over the network to each of the identified end users.
