Electrical pulse counters, pulse dividers, or shift registers: circuits and systems inventions 06/08

20080152071 - Method, system and computer program for identifying interpreted programs through class loading sequences: A solution (403-481) is proposed for metering the usage of Java programs. For this purpose, each Java program to be metered is associated (406) with a fingerprint defined by a reference sequence of classes that must be loaded for its execution. The sequence of classes that are actually loaded by... Agent: Ibm Corporation

20080152072 - Shifter register for low power consumption application: A high voltage shift register stage which directly accepts low voltage clock signal inputs without using clock buffers. In particular, a shift register stage circuit is adapted to operate with a low voltage swing clock signal, with the stage circuit having a single state node, a, driven directly. This arrangement... Agent: Hamilton, Brook, Smith & Reynolds, P.c.

20080137800 - Method, apparatus, and program for detecting the correlation between repeating events: A detecting apparatus detects the degree of correlation between first events and second events repeatedly occurring in an observed apparatus includes an acquiring unit that acquires second event count values each indicating the number of second events occurring during each first period between each first event and the first event... Agent: Dillon & Yudell LLP

20080137801 - Multiplication register for amplifying signal charge: A multiplication register for use in solid state imaging apparatus, such as a CCD, is described. The multiplication register has a gain element 22 comprising a plurality of register electrodes 30, 32, 34, and 36, for transferring charge along a change transfer channel, and for amplifying the charge. Channel edge... Agent: Venable LLP

20080130821 - Semiconductor circuit, shift register circuit, display device, and electronic apparatus: A semiconductor circuit which outputs an active potential in a first period and which holds an inactive potential in a second period which is longer than the first period and then outputs the inactive potential, the semiconductor circuit includes a switch element which is connected between a potential supply section... Agent: Rader Fishman & Grauer Pllc

20080130822 - Shift register and driving circuit and display device using the same: A shift register, a driving circuit and a display device using the same are disclosed. The shift register includes a 1st and a 2nd rectifying elements and 1st˜4th transistors. 1st source/drains of the 1st˜3rd transistors receive a common voltage respectively. The gates of the 1st and 3rd transistors and a... Agent: Jianq Chyun Intellectual Property Office
