Title: The Innovations of Yoshihiko Okazaki
Introduction
Yoshihiko Okazaki is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of computer systems, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and functionality of computer systems through innovative designs.
Latest Patents
One of Okazaki's latest patents is a computer system capable of controlling the power supplied to specific modules. This invention includes a control signal line that connects a processor to a power sequence controller. It allows the processor to transmit a control signal to stop the power supply to an IO bus when all connected devices have been inactive for a long time. This innovation significantly reduces unnecessary power consumption in computer systems.
Another notable patent is a bi-directional signal buffering circuit. In this design, when a signal A is input to a bi-directional buffer from a bus A, a first buffer detects the signal level and supplies an OE control signal to a second buffer to disable its output. The output from the second buffer is set to a predetermined value by a bias circuit, which is then used as a direction control signal. This allows for immediate signal transmission in both directions, enhancing the efficiency of data flow between buses.
