Appl. No.:

09/858832

Inventors:

Jeffrey Lin - Danville CA

Assignee:

JMOS Technology, Inc. - Fremont CA

International Classification:

G11C 800

US Classification:

365233, 36518901, 365222

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for asynchronously controlling a DRAM array in an SRAM environment is described. In on embodiment, this is a method of arbitrating between a refresh request and an access request. Furthermore, the access request may be either a read or a write request. Moreover, the request may be generated by a refresh control circuit within a circuit implementing the asynchronous control method. In an alternate embodiment, this is an apparatus. The apparatus includes an arbitration circuit block which may receive a refresh request and an access request. Furthermore, the access request may come as a read request or a write request, which may be implemented as separate signals. Moreover, the apparatus may include a refresh circuit block which may generate refresh control signals and the refresh request signal for the arbitration circuit.

Abstract:

An implantable glaucoma drainage device (GDD) system is disclosed. The GDD system comprises a microflow control system for controlling intraocular pressure, a protective capillary carrier tube housing the microflow control system, and anchoring arms holding the implanted device in place. The overall GDD size can be in a needle-implantable form factor for minimally invasive implantation. The GDD may be implanted via subconjunctival needle implantation to mimic the normal aqueous humor drainage pathway.
