Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Microprocessor with functional units that can be selectively coupled." This invention provides a data processing device featuring multiprocessors that can be configured on a cycle-by-cycle basis as either loosely coupled or tightly coupled. The Bit-stream Processing Unit (BPU) executes instructions from ROM and accesses data from RAM, while the Arithmetic Unit (AU) performs similar functions. Both processors operate in parallel and exchange data by accessing RAM. The AU can receive instruction directives from the BPU, allowing it to perform selected sequences of instructions in a loosely coupled manner or operationally replace a portion of the BPU for tightly coupled data transfer.
Another significant patent is "Method and apparatus for downmixing decoded data streams." This invention is designed to decode and transform a stream of data representing multiple subband encoded channels of audio data into one or more channels of PCM encoded data for speaker reproduction. The improved method utilizes downmix matrices to form downmixed frequency domain channels in buffers, requiring only two long and two short DCT transform operations to produce left and right PCM outputs.
