20060053268 - Storing bios in persistent system memory: When booting a personal computer, it needs to find instructions immediately to tell it what to run to start up the personal computer. These it finds within the so-called basic input/output system (BIOS) program. Usually the BIOS program is stored in a separate location, for example a ROM. It is...

20060053269 - System, microcontroller and methods thereof: A microcontroller for securing data. The microcontroller may be included within a system. The microcontroller reads first and second data from first and second storages, respectively. The microcontroller compares the read first and second data. The microcontroller permits execution of a command based on a result of the comparison....

20060053270 - System and method of storing user data in a partition file or using a partition file containing user data: A system comprises non-volatile storage, a read only memory (ROM) that contains an executable BIOS and a CPU communicatively coupled to the non-volatile storage and the ROM. The non-volatile storage contains user data, an executable capture application, a first operating system contained within a non-volatile storage partition, and a partition...

20060053271 - Processor: An object of the present invention is to provide a processor that can execute many computations with a small number of instruction codes. As far as multimedia processing is concerned, a plurality of computations of a same type are often executed concurrently and hence a plurality of computing units having...
