Patent number: 11934251Abstract: A memory controller couples to a data fabric clock domain, and to a physical layer interface circuit PHY clock domain. A first interface circuit adapts transfers between the data fabric clock domain (FCLK) and the memory controllers clock domain, and a second interface circuit couples the memory controller to the PHY clock domain. A power controller responds to a power state change request by sending commands to the second interface circuit to change parameters of a memory system and to update a set of timing parameters of the memory controller according to a selected power state of a plurality of power states. The power controller further responds to a request to synchronize with a new frequency on the FCLK domain by changing a set of timing parameters of the clock interface circuit without changing the set of timing parameters of the memory system or the selected power state.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: James R.

Publication number: 20240089308Abstract: Methods and systems are described for content delivery. A user of a first computing device that is playing back content may want to transfer or cast the content to a second computing device. When the first computing device receives the request to cast the content to the second computing device, the content may continue to be received and played back by the first computing device while it establishes a seamless transition to the second computing device. The first computing device may contact the content origin and send to the second computing device a manifest file that instructs the second computing device to request an initial portion of the segments of the content from the first computing device. The content origin may then process the cast request from the first computing device and begin providing subsequent segments of content to the second computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Nicholas Mandato, John Bieberly, Jonathan Kirkovich, James Rupert, Christopher Weaver

Patent number: 11714858Abstract: A method of providing file data from a file system comprising a data store and a file record database. The method comprises the steps of receiving a request to open a file in the file system and determining the desired properties of the file using the syntax of the request. A file record is then created in the file record database based on the determined properties of the file, and a file handle for the file record is returned. Data constituting the requested file from data in the data store is generated based on the determined properties of the file, and in response to a request to read a portion of data from the file, a corresponding portion of the generated data is returned.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2012Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: GRASS VALLEY LIMITEDInventors: James Westland Cain, Simon Darryl Rogers, Michael James Weaver

Publication number: 20210043334Abstract: An argon fluoride (ArF) laser system for inertial nuclear fusion energy production with lower required laser energy than other laser drivers. An Argon fluoride laser system uniformly illuminates a spherical capsule comprising an outer ablator wall surrounding an inner shell comprising the fusion fuel. The laser beams are adjusted spectrally to achieve a bandwidth of up to 12 THz and a coherence time as low as 80 femtoseconds that in combination with the short wavelength (193 nm) suppress laser plasma instabilities. Uniform spherical acceleration causes the inner shell of the target capsule to form a spherical assembly of compressed fuel surrounding a “hot spot” that has sufficient temperature, density and size to ignite and initiate a thermonuclear burn.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Applicant: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Stephen P. Obenschain, Malcolm W. McGeoch, Matthew Wolford, Andrew Schmitt, Matthew Myers, Max Karasik, James Weaver, Jason Bates
