Patents by Inventor Joey Y. Chen

Joey Y. Chen 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).

  • Efficient memory allocation scheme for data collection
    Patent number: 7165193
    Abstract: A system and method that provides an integrated circuit which includes a small on-chip buffer to store collected data, thereby shifting the burden of storing the majority of the collected data to external system memory, which is typically comprised of commodity memory chips. Since this external system memory is already in use by other system functions, utilizing such unused regions of this external memory increases overall hardware efficiency, while achieving lower ASIC manufacturing cost.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 25, 2004
    Date of Patent: January 16, 2007
    Assignee: Broadcom Corporation
    Inventors: Joey Y. Chen, L. Randall Mote, Thuji Simon Lin, Anders Hebsgaard

  • Method and apparatus for controlling multi-channel bitstreams
    Patent number: 6728824
    Abstract: A memory controller for an incoming multi-channel bitstream including a computer memory having an address range, a plurality of memory controllers, and a selector coupling the memory controllers to the computer memory. Each memory controller is capable of providing an address within the address range of the computer memory. In use, the selector selects a memory controller based on a received data type in an incoming bitstream. The selector then provides an address received from the selected memory controller to the computer memory.
