Latest Patents

Among her latest patents is the "Apparatus and method for prediction of zero arithmetic/logic results." This invention determines when two operands are equivalent directly from the operand without the use of an adder. In one embodiment, conditions for the sum being equal to zero are determined from half sum to carry and transmit operators derived from the input operands. These operands are utilized in some known types of adders and may be provided from a parallel adder to the condition prediction circuitry. In another embodiment, the equations for a carry-save-adder are modified to provide a circuit specifically designed for the determination of the condition when the sum of the operands is equal to zero. This sum is equal to zero circuit greatly reduces the gate delay and gate count, thus allowing the central processing unit to determine the condition prior to the actual sum of two operands. This allows the CPU to react to the condition more quickly, thus increasing overall system speed.

Another notable patent is the "Method and apparatus for modified carry-save determination of." Similar to her previous work, this invention also determines when two operands are equivalent directly from the operand without the use of an adder. The conditions for the sum being equal to zero are again derived from half sum to carry and transmit operators. This innovation further enhances the efficiency of arithmetic operations within computing systems.
