Patents by Inventor Gregory L. Ebert

Gregory L. Ebert has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10459860
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) mitigation on high-speed lanes using false stall are described. In one embodiment, protocol logic determines whether to perform a false stall operation on a lane in response to a determination that no data is to be sent over the lane and that data is being transmitted over the lane. The false stall operation includes sending one or more training symbols (e.g., immediately) after an End Of Burst (EOB) signal over the lane, instead of allowing the lane to stall. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140281085
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system to recover a clock for a bus comprising: to assign a master lane, to lock non-master lanes to the master lane, to fill the master lane during data inactivity, to idle the non-master lanes during data inactivity, to maintain clock for the master lane, and to recover the clock for the non-master lanes from the master lane. A method, apparatus, and system to transmit and receive serial data with an unsynchronized clock comprising: to transmit data in a bit stream, the data have multiple bit redundancy, to receive the data in the bit stream, to sample a value of the data in the bit stream, to use voting on the value of the data in the bit stream, and to determine a correct logic state for the data from the voting.

  • Patent number: 7542534
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) have been presented. In one embodiment, the method includes using a first clock signal to create a second clock signal having a fundamental frequency lower than a frequency of the first clock signal, wherein the first clock signal is used to transmit data from a chip within a chip set to an interconnect. The method may further include outputting the second clock signal to the interconnect via a data channel of the chip as a forwarded clock signal. The signal power may be redistributed to lower fundamental frequency to reduce EMI emission from the system. Other embodiments have been claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 7443173
    Abstract: Various embodiments for radio frequency (RF) noise cancellation are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise an RF noise cancellation system arranged to sense platform noise observed by a radio subsystem, create an inverse version of the sensed platform noise, and add the inverse version of the sensed platform noise to a received RF signal to remove the platform noise from the received RF signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 6785621
    Abstract: A method is described that involves forming a product waveform by multiplying a positive signal waveform and negative signal waveform. The positive signal waveform and the negative signal waveform are representative of a logical transition within a differential signal. The crossing point voltage of the logical transition within the differential signal is determined by calculating the square root of a maximum of the product waveform.
