A modem includes an electronic processor responsive to a context signal and operable in alternative processing contexts identified by the context signal. First and second registers are connected to the electronic processor to participate in one processing context while retaining information from another processing context until a return thereto. A context switching circuit is connected to the first and second registers and operates to selectively control input and output operations of the regist...

The present invention relates to a container for liquid which is able to retain the liquid therein for drinking purposes at a temperature close to its original temperature for a period of time. The design of the top or lid makes it easy to insert, and the new single straight spring arm design utilize a thicker spring arm, will assure vertical tension it needs keep the liquid from spilling out, and it eliminates the need for a gasket to seal the top or lid. The improved exterior shape will make s...

A static random-access memory (SRAM) device and a method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the SRAM device includes: (1) a row of SRAM cells coupled to a word line and a power source configured to vary in voltage to enable the row of SRAM cells to operate in a retain-till-accessed (RTA) mode and (2) a word line driver coupled to the power source and configured to drive the word line.
