Filed:

Mar 15, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/886033

Inventors:

Riad Saraiji - Falls Church VA, US
Mark A. Daniels - Manlius NY, US
Robert J. Reese - Spartanburg SC, US
Stephen Kenney - North Syracuse NY, US
Thomas E. Drago - Liverpool NY, US

Assignee:

Carrier Corporation - Farmington CT

International Classification:

F21S 2/00

US Classification:

362 92, 362 94, 362133

Abstract:

The display space of a multiple door display merchandiser is illuminated by one or more vertically extending lamps () disposed intermediate the vertical sides of an access opening to the display space. A multiple door assembly () covers the access opening. To enhance the illumination of the display space, a pair of vertically extending side reflectors () are provided, one extending along one side of the access opening and the other extending along the other side of the access opening. An additional reflector may be mounted to an interior facing surface of the door along an upper front region of the door and/or a lower front region.

International Classification:

G01R 31/08

US Classification:

370217, 710305

Abstract:

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing a set of signal paths for a chip. A defective signal path within the set of signal paths for the chip is detected. Signals are re-routed through the set of signal paths such that the defective signal path is removed from the set of signal paths and sending signals using remaining data signal paths in the set of signal paths and using an extra signal path in response to detecting the defective signal path.

International Classification:

US Classification:

375354

Abstract:

A parallel data link includes a redundant line. A bank of switches permits any arbitrary line of the link to be enabled or disabled for carrying functional data, each line being dynamically calibrated in turn by disabling the line and allowing other lines to carry the functional data. The switches are located downstream of alignment mechanisms so that data input to the switches is compensated for data skew. Preferably, receiver synchronization circuitry in each line operates in a respective independent clock domain, while the switches and calibration mechanism operate in a common clock domain. Preferably, the receiver synchronization circuits provide an adjustable delay corresponding to a variable number of clock cycles to align the outputs of the receiver synchronization circuits with respect to one another, which can accommodate high data skew.
