US Classification:

382100, 726 2

Abstract:

A photograph processing system that prevents the unpermitted use of photographic media containing a depiction of a protected person, view or item. A permission object is located in physical proximity to the person, view or object being protected. A photograph including the permission object will contain a depiction of the permission object. When the photograph is processed, the photograph processing system scans the photograph for a permission object. If a permission object is found, the system further processes the photograph according to the permission associated with the permission object.

Assignee:

Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI

International Classification:

H01Q 132

US Classification:

343715

Abstract:

An antenna adapted to be mounted to a motor vehicle for receiving digital audio signals from a satellite. The antenna includes a base configured to be secured to a vehicle, and an elongated mast constructed of a polymer material and including at least one antenna-forming conductor extending along the mast to receive signals. A spring member flexibly connects the elongated mast to the base, and an elastomeric cover extends between the base and the elongated mast and envelops the spring member. A flexible conductor is connected to the antenna-forming conductor and extends through the elastomeric cover.

International Classification:

G11C 7/10
G11C 7/12
G11C 8/18
G11C 8/08

Abstract:

An SRAM controller for performing sequential accesses using internal ports that operate concurrently on different rows. Each internal port includes a row address strobe (RAS) timer that generates clock signals controlling the timing of operations during a RAS phase in which word line decoding is performed once for a group of bit cells being accessed. The RAS phase can involve additional conditioning operations, such as precharging of local bits lines associated with the group of bit cells. The RAS phase is followed by an input/output (IO) phase in which individual bit cells are accessed in sequential address order using a column select signal generated by an IO timer. The RAS phase of a first internal port can be at least partially overlapped by the IO phase of a second internal port to hide the RAS latency of the first internal port. The IO timer can be shared among internal ports.

Abstract:

In some embodiments, a system comprises a static random access memory (SRAM) device and a controller. The SRAM device comprises a bit cell array comprising a plurality of bit cells arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, each column operatively coupled to a pair of bit lines, wherein the plurality of columns is arranged as a plurality of column groups each comprising a plurality of local columns. The SRAM device further comprises a plurality of column decoders, each associated with a column group of the plurality of column groups. In some embodiments, the controller may be configured to read the local columns included in the column group by, for a given local column, sensing a voltage difference on a corresponding pair of bit lines, in a rearranged sequential order that is different from a physical sequential order of the plurality of local columns.

International Classification:

G11C 11/22
G11C 11/413
G06F 1/32

Abstract:

Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems associated with save-restore circuitry including metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) devices. The save-restore circuitry may be coupled to a bit node and/or bit bar node of a pair of cross-coupled inverters to save the state of the bit node and/or bit bar node when an associated circuit block transitions to a sleep state, and restore the state of the bit node and/or bit bar node when the associated circuit block transitions from the sleep state to an active state. The save-restore circuitry may be used in a flip-flop circuit, a register file circuit, and/or another suitable type of circuit. The save-restore circuitry may include a transmission gate coupled between the bit node (or bit bar node) and an internal node, and an MFM device coupled between the internal node and a plate line. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract:

A social networking system provides instructions to third-party application developers for inclusion in applications. When executed, the instructions communicate information from an application to the social networking system describing user interactions with the application. Based on received information describing a user's interaction with an application, the social networking system determines likelihoods of the user performing various types interactions with applications and classifies the user based on the determined likelihoods. A user's interactions with additional applications similar to an application may be used to determine the likelihoods of the user performing different types of interactions with the application. Classifications associated with users may be used as targeting criteria for advertisements, allowing advertisers to target advertisements to users having a threshold likelihood of performing certain types of interactions with an application.
