Filed:

Oct 4, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/679506

Stephen M. Johnson - Colorado Springs CO

Mark A. Reber - Alpharetta GA

Assignee:

LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

H04L 1228

US Classification:

370236, 370412, 3703952, 370400

Abstract:

A method and apparatus in a source node for transmitting data to a target node. Responsive to a request to transmit data to the target node, a determination is made as to whether a selected period of time has passed without data transmitted from the source node being received by the target node. Responsive to detecting the selected period of time has passed without data transmitted from the source node being received by the target node, a determination is made as to whether space is available in the target node to receive the data. Responsive to a determination that space is unavailable in the target node, generating an indication that the target node is blocked is generated.

Appl. No.:

10/172185

David P. Weber - Oley PA 19547

International Classification:

G21C 1932

US Classification:

376272, 376261, 376367, 2505001, 2505071, 212312, 212 71, 414146, 414411, 414566, 254266

Abstract:

A system and method for moving a canister of spent nuclear fuel from a first location, which may be within a nuclear power generation facility to a second location such as a storage cask that is used for short-term or long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel includes a first lifting mechanism for engaging a transfer cask and a second lifting mechanism for engaging and lifting the canister of spent nuclear fuel. Preferably, the method is practiced by first positioning a canister of spent nuclear fuel within the transfer cask and then engaging the transfer cask with the first lifting mechanism. The canister is engaged with the second lifting mechanism. The transfer cask having the canister positioned within is moved to the vicinity of a storage cask, and the canister is lowered from the transfer cask into the storage cask by the second lifting mechanism without disengagement of the first lifting mechanism from the transfer cask. Ideally, the second lifting mechanism is mounted on a portion of the first lifting mechanism that is relatively free from relative movement with respect to the transfer cask during operation. Accordingly, the lowering of the canister may be performed with a minimum of relative movement between the canister and the transfer cask, obviating or reducing the necessity for supplemental tiedowns of the transfer cask during this procedure, which is an inefficient process that if performed incorrectly can expose humans to unwanted radiation.

US Classification:

370428, 370400, 370412, 370231, 709215

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for transmitting data in a node having a buffer. A first set of data is received in a buffer for transmission to a target node. The first set of data is sent to the target node. Responsive to an indication that the target node is unable to receive data, a second set of data is loaded into the buffer for transmission to another target node, while the first set of data is retained in the buffer.

Filed:

Nov 5, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/993015

Inventors:

David M. Weber - Colorado Springs CO

Assignee:

LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

G01R 1512

US Classification:

324765, 3241581, 324763

Abstract:

A mechanism if provided for testing newly-manufactured integrated circuits at the wafer stage. Built-in self-test circuitry is used to test each of the die on a wafer in parallel. Then, when a defect is detected, the die marks itself (e. g. , by physically destroying a portion of itself through burnout). The present mechanism eliminates the inefficiencies of serial testing of die and of mechanical latency as each die is positioned for testing.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709251, 709226

Abstract:

Systems and methods for allocating assets to a plurality of devices are presented. In one embodiment, devices may be communicatively connected to one another through a device loop. Each device may be configured for determining a portion of an asset that it will use. A controller may also be communicatively connected to the communication medium and configured for determining a capacity of the asset. The controller may transfer control information to the devices so as to allocate the asset to the devices based on the capacity of that asset. In another embodiment, each of the devices may be communicatively connected directly to the controller rather than to one another.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/231000

Abstract:

The present invention is a novel system and method for implementing multiple protocol definitions including multiple interconnect protocols and protocol methods. Protocol methods may include a single-thread, multi-speed interconnect protocol method and a multi-thread, single-speed interconnect protocol method with shared resources on a single die. Various aspects of serializer/deserializer, encoder/decoder, aggregator, and protocol functions may be shared among both protocol definitions to provide cost and real estate efficiency.

Abstract:

A multi-threaded DMA engine data transfer system for a data processing system and a method for transferring data in a data processing system. The DMA Engine data transfer system has at least one frame buffer for storing data transmitted or received over an interface. A multi-threaded DMA engine generates a plurality of requests to transfer data over the interface, processes the plurality of requests using the at least one frame buffer, and completes the transfer requests. The multi-threaded DMA engine data transfer system processes a plurality of data transfer requests simultaneously resulting in improved data throughput performance.
