Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus for dynamically testing a memory within a computer." This invention provides a method and apparatus for increasing the efficiency of dynamic read and/or write operations of a memory element within a computer system. The dynamic operations can be performed in either functional or test modes, significantly reducing the number of bits required to be serially shifted into a design by utilizing an auto-increment block. This innovation takes advantage of the sequential nature of multi-word memory access, allowing for automatic address manipulation and reducing the time needed for subsequent read and/or write operations.
Another significant patent is "Method and apparatus for locally generating addressing information." This invention allows for efficient reading or writing of successive address locations within a memory. In this exemplary embodiment, a processor is not required to provide an address for each read and/or write operation when accessing successive locations. Instead, an initial address is provided, and subsequent addresses are automatically generated by an automatic-increment block, streamlining the memory access process.
