Patent number: 11386021Abstract: A data packer forma bit stream for forwarding values to memory. The bit stream includes the values and respective prefixes for identifying the values and the data packer is configured to insert the prefixes at predetermined boundaries in the bit stream, such that a prefix for identifying one value is inserted between bits that define a value identified by a preceding prefix. A data unpacker unpacks a bit stream that comprises values and respective prefixes for identifying those values that are located at predetermined boundaries in the bit stream, such that a prefix for identifying one value is inserted between bits that define a value identified by a preceding prefix. The data unpacker identifies a prefix at a predetermined boundary in the bit stream and determine, in dependence on that prefix and the predetermined boundaries, a location of the next prefix in the bit stream.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2018Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL SALES PTE.

Patent number: 10320605Abstract: Systems, software, and methods are provided to rapidly configured replacement gateways and other devices when needed. Configuration information may be received and stored in memory. The information may be sent to a first device or gateway. If the first device or gateway needs to be reconfigured, the information may be resent to the first device or gateway. If the first device or gateway fails, the information may be send to a second device or gateway to configure the second device for use in the system, thereby rapidly swapping the first device and second device.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Nimbus 9, Inc.Inventors: Lucas Schiff, Andrew Hutchinson

Patent number: 8422340Abstract: Methods for determining timestamps for signal timing edges for use in, e.g., a reciprocal counter for determining the frequency of a signal is disclosed, comprising the steps of inputting the signal into a tapped delay line, producing a plurality of delay line tap signals at the output of each of the delay line taps. In one embodiment, after detecting the signal timing edge and determining an initial time value corresponding to the timer clock cycle count at the signal timing edge or the next clock timing edge, the delay line tap signals are monitored to determine a fractional correction time value adjustment to be made to the initial value to account for the delay between the signal timing edge and the next clock timing edge to determine the timestamp. In another embodiment, after detecting the signal timing edge, the average of a plurality of delay line timer clock cycle counts corresponding to the timer clock cycle counts at the delay line tap signal timing edges is used to determine the timestamp.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2008Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Andrew Hutchinson
