A keyboard comprising a plurality of Alpha-Numeric keys, a plurality of Direction keys and a Backspace key, a Delete key or a Enter key is provided. The plurality of Direction keys includes .fwdarw.,.rarw.,.Arrow-up bold.,.arrow-down dbl. keys to form an area of Direction keys. The Backspace key, a Delete key or a Enter key is disposed adjacent to the area of Direction keys for allowing a user's fingers to move between Direction keys and Backspace key, a Delete key or a Enter key without moving ...

A memory system and method that allow more than one cycle of memory latency for accesses to a synchronously accessed memory. The memory system includes a memory with a clocked interface and a corresponding clock input, and may include an output register for storing data outputted from the memory during a read operation. The output register and the memory are coupled together by a data path, for transferring data between the memory and the output register. The memory system may further include a ...

Within a content addressable memory, the latency in a memory access is reduced by combining the steps of effective address generation addition and searching within the content-addressable memory. Two inputs to the content-addressable memory are conditioned and then supplied to matching cells, which determine which address stored in the content-addressable memory will be output. This is accomplished without a full adder being implemented to add the two input operands before being supplied to the ...

Mass storage system controller apparatus receives requests for access to files in a data storage system and manages access to the files in the data storage system, the data storage system having a plurality of storage devices and the requests being addressed to the data storage system as a single virtual storage device having addressable Command Regions allocated to controller commands and addressable Mapped Data Regions allocated for data storage. The apparatus includes a file system to manage ...

Methods and systems for enabling a user to create a user-defined map of an Internet document to control how text and links of the Internet document are presented to the user. A user selects and names regions of text or links of an Internet document to create a user-defined map. A user accesses a voice browser which provides an audio representation of the Internet document based on the user-defined map. Prompts assist a user in creating and navigating through the user-defined map. User requests c...

A method of providing access to network addresses for use in a mobile telecommunications device allowing navigation between different addresses and displaying of information therefrom, comprises compiling a first list of addresses bookmarked by a user and then compiling a second list of bookmarks selected on the basis of previous access by the user to said addresses via said first list. The second list may comprise the bookmarked addresses accessed most recently by the user, which will often be ...

A verification method for use in a verification system comprises a verification terminal operated by a verification authority, a remote terminal remote from the verification terminal, and a communication link coupling the verification terminal to the remote terminal. The method includes the steps of generating a document data file from an identity document provided at the remote terminal, and then transmitting the document data file from the remote terminal to the verification terminal. The meth...

A method is provided for enabling a user to search for documents that the user has previously viewed on its local machine. The method may rely upon three main components: the desktop integration module, the index module, and the graphical user interface module. The desktop integration module is an application which monitors documents with which the user interacts for predetermined events, and obtains content data and metadata from the monitored documents. The index module indexes the content dat...

A wafer/wafer translator pair in the attached state, with the wafer translator extending beyond the outer circumference of the wafer, is disposed on a rotation stage. At least one surface of the edge-extended wafer translator, in a peripheral annular region, provides contact pads electrically coupled to corresponding pads on the wafer, and a caliper-style contact block, operable to move perpendicularly the edge-extended wafer translator is positioned such the contact pads of the annular region m...

A system and method for analyzing data accesses to determine data accessing patterns is provided. Data address accesses are traced and transformed into Whole Program Data Accesses (WPDAs). WPDAs may then be used to discover higher-level data abstractions, such as hot data blocks. Hot data blocks provide information related to sequences of data addresses that are repeatedly accessed together. Hot data blocks may then be used to improve program performance.
