A method and apparatus is described herein for accessing a physical memory location referenced by a physical address with a processor. The processor fetches/receives instructions with references to virtual memory addresses and/or references to physical addresses. Translation logic translates the virtual memory addresses to physical addresses and provides the physical addresses to a common interface. Physical addressing logic decodes references to physical addresses and provides the physical addresses to a common interface based on a memory type stored by the physical addressing logic.

Accessing physical memory from a CPU or processing element in a high performance manner

Method and apparatus for accessing physical memory from a CPU or processing element in a high performance manner

A method to reduce idle leakage power in I/O pins of an integrated circuit using external circuitry. Initially, I/O pins on a package are subdivided into those that will also remain powered up and those that will power down during idle state. When a system enters a low power mode, a signal is sent to the external circuitry. The signal notifies the I/O pins that always remain powered up to notify the external circuitry to power down the other set of I/O pins.

Reducing idle leakage power in an IC

An interconnect bandwidth throttler is disclosed. The interconnect bandwidth throttler turns off the interconnect, based on whether a maximum number of transactions has taken place within a predetermined throttle window. Both the maximum number of transactions and the throttle window are adjustable. Characteristics such as performance, thermal considerations, and average power are adjustable using the interconnect bandwidth throttler.

Interconnect bandwidth throttler

An interconnect bandwidth throttler is disclosed. The interconnect bandwidth throttler turns off the interconnect, based on whether a maximum number of transactions has take place within a predetermined throttle window. Both the maximum number of transactions and the throttle window are adjustable.

The invention described is a method and system for preventing image capture and transmission in a restricted or prohibited zone.

Method for deactivating an image capturing device when present in a restricted or prohibited zone

In some embodiments, a power up (or power mode) interface is provided whereby a chip's power up signals are encoded into multiple states to provide more functions than the number of signals used to define the states.

Power mode control method and circuitry

A method and apparatus for dual-target register allocation is described, intended to enable the efficient mapping/renaming of registers associated with instructions within a pipelined microprocessor architecture.

Method and apparatus for increasing load bandwidth

A method and system for preventing an operator of a vehicle from using a handheld wireless communication device without a hands-free communication device associated therewith when the vehicle is in motion.

Method for automobile safe wireless communications

A method and system for warning an operator of a vehicle of a vehicular task that is being performed beyond a pre-determined time for execution of the task involving incrementally increasing audio and visual warnings as the task continues to be performed past the pre-determined time.

Method for intelligent crescendo system

The invention relates to systems to manage parking meters using mechanical, electrical and electromechanicals monitoring and transmitting devices. Such intelligent parking meters may be used for example to monitor pollution by idling vehicles, survey the area about the meters to identify events such as vandalism, accident or any other designated emergency situation, and to monitor volume and flow of traffic to help coordinate traffic light sequencing for facilitating optimum traffic movement. The meters may be coin, bill or card operated and are useful for monitoring individual parking spaces designed to monitor conditions ambient to the parking meter and issue summons to vehicles violating the preset requirements.

Method for intelligent parking/pollution and surveillance control system

The invention is directed to a system and method for sensing the presence of objects in a path of an automobile with a system to warn both the operator of the vehicle and the object of regard.

Imminent collision warning system and method

The invention described is a method and system for communicating automated vehicle information via a transceiver-facilitated communication device.

Method for automobile registry control system
