Patent number: 7461287Abstract: A mechanism for de-skewing and aligning data bits sent between two chips on an elastic interface. On the receiving end of an elastic interface, the eye of each data bit within a clock/data group is delayed by less than a bit time to align the eyes with the nearest clock edge of a received clock signal. In addition to aligning the eyes of the individual data bits with the nearest clock edge, IAP patterns are used to determine the amount of further delay needed to line up the individual data beats from each data bit. If the data beats for the data bits are not aligned, all but the slowest data beat are delayed to align the data beats for all bits. The additional delay is achieved using sample latches that result in a delayed signal with less jitter. As a result of having less jitter, the received, de-skewed, and aligned clock/data group can be forwarded to the operative portion of the receiving chip at an increased frequency.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel M. Dreps, Frank D. Ferraiolo, Gary A. Peterson, Robert J. Reese

Patent number: 7443940Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for aligning received data bits in elastic interface systems. Depending upon which one of several alignment modes is selected, data bits can be loaded into FIFO latches on rising clock edges if the data was sent on rising clock edges, on falling clock edges if the data was sent on falling clock edges, or on the nearest clock edge if minimum latency is desired. Alternatively, data bits can be delayed by one or more bit times before loading into FIFO latches to reduce the elastic interface system's sensitivity to drift. The present invention permits a user to trade off factors related to for latency, drift, and skew by choosing among different alignment modes in an elastic interface system.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Frank D. Ferraiolo, Gary A. Peterson, Robert J. Reese

Patent number: 7440531Abstract: A method and apparatus for de-skewing and aligning digital data received over an elastic interface bus is disclosed. Upon receiving the data, it is sent through a programmable delay line. While in the programmable delay line, the data is sampled at three points within the data's eye pattern. The three sampling points are dynamically adjusted to maximize coverage of the data's eye pattern. During the adjustment of the sampling points to optimally cover the data's eye pattern, delayed data is sampled from an alternate sampler to prevent sampling from the functional sampler while the delay in the primary sampler is adjusted. Sampling from the alternate sampler while changing the sampling points of the functional sampler serves to reduce glitches that may occur by sampling the functional sampler while its sampling parameters are changed. The method and apparatus allow for alternate eye tracking and wrap around eye tracking.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel M. Dreps, Frank D. Ferraiolo, Gary A. Peterson, Robert J. Reese

Publication number: 20080187452Abstract: A method of forming a ceramic metal composite workpiece comprises a step of providing a forming assembly with first and second shaping surfaces that together form a chamber. The chamber is shaped substantially similar to a desired external geometry of a green body of the workpiece, and at least one of the surfaces comprises a pressing mechanism adapted to move the surface with respect to the other surface. The method also comprises placing into the chamber a malleable composite material and an insert comprising a shape substantially similar to a desired internal surface geometry of the green body. The method also comprises a step of pressing the malleable composite material to form the green body such that at least a portion of the malleable composite material flows around at least a portion of the insert to form the green body with the desired external and internal surface geometries.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2008Publication date: August 7, 2008Inventors: David R.
