US Patent:

7010067, Mar 7, 2006

Filed:

Jan 11, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/044616

Inventors:

Robert L. Chamberlain - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

Renesas Technology America, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H03D 1/00

US Classification:

375343

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for feature recognition time shift correlation are presented. An exemplary method includes the step of identifying a feature in an input data stream. A starting time associated with the identified feature relative to a boundary of the input data stream is stored. A time interval until the identified feature is next repeated in the input data stream is then measured. Next, the measured time interval is compared to each of a set of valid interval values for the identified feature. A difference is then calculated between the stored starting time and a starting time associated with the identified feature relative to a boundary of a reference data sequence when the measured time interval matches one of the valid interval values. The calculated difference determines an amount that the input data stream must be time-shifted to achieve correlation with the reference data sequence.

Filed:

Sep 25, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/253816

Inventors:

Robert L. Chamberlain - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

Renesas Technology America, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

709220, 709223, 709224

Abstract:

Methods and arrangements for configuring a functional network of devices are presented. The devices are addressable within a logical network operable on a shared physical bus. According to an exemplary method, a configuration session is established between at least one controlling device and at least one controlled device operable within the logical network. The at least one controlling and controlled devices enter respective time-limited configuration modes for an overlapping period of time to establish the configuration session. Linkage transaction messages are exchanged between the at least one controlled and controlling devices during the configuration session. Configuration information included in the linkage transaction messages is stored in memory of the respective at least one controlled and controlling devices during the configuration session. After configuration of the devices is complete, the at least one controlled and controlling devices functionally operate according to the respective stored configuration information.

Appl. No.:

10/253711

Inventors:

Robert L. Chamberlain - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

Renesas Technology America, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04J 3/06

US Classification:

370504, 370528, 370538, 370543

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for sharing network bandwidth between devices connected to a bus are presented. Each of the devices belongs to one of a number of device classes. Each device class is associated with a respective data transfer rate at which information may be exchanged over the bus. An exemplary method includes the step of assigning a gap interval to each device based on at least the data transfer rate of the class to which the device belongs, the assigned gap interval being inserted between portions of a data stream sent by the corresponding device over the bus. The assigned gap interval may be inserted between portions of a data stream sent by the corresponding device over the bus to achieve the desired data rate resulting in an equitable sharing of bandwidth between the devices connected to the bus.

Filed:

Sep 25, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/253708

Inventors:

Robert Chamberlain - Raleigh NC, US

International Classification:

G06F015/177
G06F015/173

US Classification:

709/220000, 709/223000

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for configuring multiple logical networks that share a common transmission medium are presented. According to an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus for configuring multiple logical networks of devices on a single physical network includes a transceiver configured to exchange information with devices connected to a shared bus of the physical network. The apparatus includes logic configured to assign a network number to a new logical network when the apparatus is first activated on the shared bus, the assigned network number being different from network numbers associated with other logical networks using the shared bus. Also, the apparatus includes logic configured to enter into a configuration mode for a limited amount of time, during which time the apparatus is capable of participating in a configuration session with at least one of the devices connected to the bus. The apparatus further includes logic configured to assign a logical address to the at least one device while participating in the configuration session with the at least one device, the assigned logical address being different from all logical addresses associated with devices belonging to other logical networks on the physical network. After configuration, the at least one device responds only to information addressed to its assigned logical address within the new logical network.
