A method and apparatus for address setting for speech recording and replay, includes an apparatus for storing a direct current (DC) voltage with a high frequency signal in the dynamic random access memory (DRAM) as an index for replay. During recording, the user can enter speech of different durations. During replay, the system automatically repeats the exact contents without any other background noise or noise speech at the end of the desired message. The apparatus includes a wave clearer, a di...

For both recording and replay, a digital audio tape (14) is accelerated very rapidly by a motor servo (9), motor (8) and capstan (7) so that the tape speed overshoots nominal speed range before settling back to this range in an oscillatory manner. The digital samples are recorded and replayed via a head (15), a random access memory (16) and input/output electronics (19). During recording, the store (17) is precharged by starting to write in as soon as acceleration is initiated. Read-out to the t...

Breaking replay dependency loops in a processor using a rescheduled replay queue. The processor comprises a replay queue to receive a plurality of instructions, and an execution unit to execute the plurality of instructions. A scheduler is coupled between the replay queue and the execution unit. The scheduler speculatively schedules instructions for execution and increments a counter for each of the plurality of instructions to reflect the number of times each of the plurality of instructions ha...

A replay apparatus calculates an exact play time even during a fast-forward replay operation and a rewind and replay operation. A demultiplexer demultiplexes an input stream into an audio elementary stream, and stores ES data of the audio elementary stream in a data buffer on a frame by frame basis. The demultiplexer calculates the number of main data frames contained in a first frame to each of the frames on a frame by frame basis, and stores the number of main data frames in an ES data informa...

An electronic business card has a memory storing presentation slide images, a display that displays the images, and a processing device that governs the display process. The card has input devices (pads or buttons such as FORWARD, BACK and INDEX) allowing the user to control the display. The display's picture elements are preferably implemented as multi-chromic beads whose respective physical orientations are controlled by the processing device so as to form the viewed image. A method requires a...

A broadcast pause and resume system may simultaneously read and write data to a disk memory by using separate read and write heads which are driven by separate controllers. In this way, information may be read from and written to the same disk at the exact same time, improving the simultaneity of read and write operations of the broadcast pause and resume system.

Transactions are replicated from a source database to a target database in a data replication system. The system includes a first memory location that persistently stores statement text associated with transactions to be replicated. Transactions to be replicated are cached by separating the transactions into statement text and statement data. A determination is made as to whether the statement text has been previously stored in the first memory location. If not, then the statement text is persis...

Security against replay of a message by generating a list of unique message enabling codes (TATs) in a first device and storing the list in a second device. A message generated in the first device, which includes at least one of the unique message enabling codes from the list, is transmitted to the second device. The unique message enabling code of the received message is compared with the list stored in the second device to determine whether or not to enable processing of the message by the sec...

A processor is provided that implements a replay mechanism to recover from soft errors. The processor includes a protected execution unit, a check unit to detect errors in results generated by the protected execution unit, and a replay unit to track selected instructions issued to the protected execution unit. When the check unit detects an error, it triggers the replay unit to reissue the selected instructions to the protected execution unit. One embodiment of the replay unit provides an instru...

The same executable instruction stream as an executable instruction stream generated by a dynamic compiler is reproduced to facilitate debugging of the dynamic compiler. Provides compiler program for computer functioning as: an execution status obtaining section for obtaining an execution status of the program; a dynamic compilation section for compiling one of the partial programs to be executed during execution of the program; an execution status recording section for recording the execution s...
