| 20100070646 | System and method for transferring multiple data channels - A system and a method transfer multiple data channels between a server and a terminal via a stream session over a network. The system and the method utilize a bitstream switching, a fast buffer filling and/or a fast playback start to facilitate a switch from a first data channel and a second data channel. The server transfers second data of the second data channel to the terminal via one or more tracks which are encoded at more than one bitrate and/or are configured in one or more configurations. The terminal requests a change between the first track and/or the second track without terminating the stream session for the first data channel between the terminal and the server. As a result, the system and/or the method minimizes the delay period of time between requesting the switch to the second data channel and displaying the second data channel. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20120159057 | MEMORY POWER TOKENS - Techniques are described for controlling availability of memory. As memory write operations are processed, the contents of memory targeted by the write operations are read and compared to the data to be written. The availability of the memory for subsequent write operations is controlled based on the outcomes of the comparing. How many concurrent write operations are being executed may vary according to the comparing. In one implementation, a pool of tokens is maintained based on the comparing. The tokens represent units of power. When write operations require more power, for example when they will alter the values of more cells in PCM memory, they draw (and eventually return) more tokens. The token pool can act as a memory-availability mechanism in that tokens must be obtained for a write operation to be executed. When and how many tokens are reserved or recycled can vary according to implementation. | 06-21-2012 |
