20090132578 | LAYOUT MANAGER - Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for managing layout updates to user interface elements. A dirty state of user interface elements is tracked in a tree with multiple nodes of user interface elements. The dirty state allows dirty subtrees of the nodes to be identified. A root node is identified for each of the dirty subtrees. Affected portions of the tree are updated, starting with the root node that was identified for each of the dirty subtrees. As part of the update process, changes to ancestor nodes are detected and used to make a layout process more efficient. For example, any layout processes that are currently being performed on any descendant nodes of a changed ancestor are abandoned, and the layout process is resumed at the changed ancestor. After updating affected portions of the tree, the updated user interface elements are then rendered on an output device. | 2009-05-21 |

20090132631 | METHOD OF FORCING 1's AND INVERTING SUM IN AN ADDER WITHOUT INCURRING TIMING DELAY - A summing circuit for an adder decodes control signals to determine that the result should be manipulated, and generates a half-sum output which is used to produce a manipulated result based on the control signals. The half-sum output is combined with a previous carry bit to complete the sum operation. The control signals can invert the adder result, or force the result to be all 1's. These functions can be effectuated in a 3-way multiplexer that combines the operand inputs and control signals. For inversion, two separate logic circuits produce true and complement half-sums in parallel, and the appropriate half-sum is selected for the half-sum output. For a result of all 1's, a force_1 control signal pulls the half-sum output node to electrical ground and the final output is manipulated by gating the carry signals with the force_1 signal. The two functions are implemented without introducing additional delay. | 2009-05-21 |
