International Classification:

G01R 31/28

US Classification:

714726, 714729, 714733

Abstract:

A processor having a pipelined test access mechanism (TAM). The processor includes a plurality of processor cores. Each of the processor cores includes a scan chain including plurality of serially-coupled scan elements. The processor further includes the pipelined TAM, which includes a plurality of pipeline stages each corresponding to one of the plurality of processor cores. The pipelined TAM includes a command channel, a scan data input (SDI) channel, a scan data output (SDO) channel, and a compare channel. Each pipeline stage is operable to convey commands to its corresponding processor core via the command channel, to convey scan input data to its corresponding processor core via the SDI channel, to receive scan output data conveyed from the corresponding processor core to the SDO channel and the compare channel, and convey compare data downstream via the compare channel, wherein the compare data is based on the scan output data.

Abstract:

This invention relates generally to a garage door control system. A system includes, but is not limited to: sensor devices that detect a position of a garage door from a floor using a distance from the devices and the door, the devices being mounted at a far end of a horizontal guidance track; a control unit coupled to the sensor devices, the control unit including at least a computer processor; a power distribution and control relay unit; a wireless communication interface operable to communicate wirelessly; and a link connected to the garage door motor; and a user interface unit in place of the existing garage door button, wherein the user interface receives power from the power distribution and control relay unit via wires repurposed from control signal wires of the existing garage door button, the user interface including: a wireless communication interface to communicate wirelessly; and a display screen.
