A processing device includes a ROM having program instructions and at leas one jump instruction stored therein, a patch program for patching the program instructions in the ROM, a RAM capable of storing the patch program and a patch vector table that indicates the location of the patch program. A processor executes the program instructions in the program ROM and uses the patch vector table to execute the patch program when one of the jump instructions is reached. The patch program may be stored in the RAM and the patch vector table may point to the address in the RAM at which the patch program is stored so that the processor jumps directly to the RAM to execute the patch program when it reaches the one of the jump instructions. Likewise, a patch engine may be used to locate a specified patch program, load the specified patch program into the RAM and execute the specified patch program when the processor reaches the one of the jump instructions.       Recently Added Patents Dual feed-out archery cam Hierarchical organization chart for mobile applications Membrane electrode assembly for fuel cell having catalyst layer with mesopore volume, method of preparing same, and fuel cell system including the same Blister package apparatus and methods for tablets Glucagon receptor antagonist compounds Temporary containment of oil wells to prevent environmental damage Fault recovery to a call stack position stored in thread local storage   Randomly Featured Patents Telephone set Modified maxadilan protein, its preparation and use, and DNA encoding the protein Connector Method for the manufacture of a saddle made of composite material, in particular for a bicycle Image forming apparatus with expendable member and random number generator Broadcast system with associated data capabilities Nonvolatile flip-flop circuit and method of driving the same Method and apparatus for recreating fiber channel traffic Aluminum ibuprofen pharmaceutical suspensions Metal alloys for the reflective or the semi-reflective layer of an optical storage medium © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
