  • Patent number: 11921904
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed to support a hardware-based lock mechanism having a hardware-based lock unit associated with a resource, wherein the lock is utilized by an arbitrator to arbitrate between multiple agents requesting access to the resource. When a first agent requests access to resource in unlocked state, the arbitrator creates a lock ID and set a locked state indicating that the resource is locked. The lock ID is provided to the first agent, which now has exclusive control over the resource. The arbitrator ensures that any agent with the same ID may access the resource. When a second agent requests access to the resource with a lock ID to the arbitrator, it is granted access to the resource if the lock ID provided matches the one stored on the lock unit. If there is a mismatch between the lock IDs, access to the resource is denied.

  • Patent number: 11868475
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to support post reset fuse reload for latency reduction. First, values of fuses are read once and stored into one or more load registers on an electronic device, wherein the load registers are protected. Once the values of the fuse are loaded into the load registers, a valid indicator of the load registers is set indicating that the values have been successfully loaded into the load registers. When other components of the electronic device need to access these values, the other components will check the load registers first. If it is determined that the valid indicator of the load registers is set, the stored values are read from the load registers instead of from the fuses. If the valid indicator of the load registers is not set, the values are loaded again from the fuses into the load registers.

  • Patent number: 9279195
    Abstract: A device for production of nanofibers through electrostatic spinning of the liquid matrix in electrostatic field between at least one spinning electrode and a collecting electrode positioned opposite thereto, while the spinning electrode contains at least one spinning member containing the cord, which comprises a straight section which is parallel with a plane of depositing the nanofibers and/or with the collecting electrode and it forms an active spinning zone of the cord. The cord of the spinning member is stationary or is displaceable in a direction of its length or is movable in a direction of its length either discontinuously or continuously and to the cord there is assigned a device for application of the liquid matrix on the cord in a direction of length of the cord.

  • Patent number: 8231822
    Abstract: Method for spinning the liquid matrix (38) in electrostatic field between at least one spinning electrode (3) and against it arranged collecting electrode (4), while one of the electrodes is connected to one pole of high voltage source and the second electrode is connected to opposite pole of high voltage source or is grounded, at which the liquid matrix (38) being subject to spinning is to be found in electrostatic field on the active spinning zone (3100) of the cord (310) of the spinning means (31) of the spinning electrode (3). The active spinning zone (3100) of the cord during spinning process has a stable position towards the collecting electrode (4) and the liquid matrix (38) to the active spinning zone (3100) of the cord is delivered either by application to the active spinning zone (3100) of the cord or by motion of the cord (310) in direction of its length.

  • Patent number: 8157554
    Abstract: The invention relates to the rotary spinning electrode of an elongated shape into the device for production of nanofibres through electrostatic spinning of polymer solutions comprising a pair of end faces, between them there are positioned spinning members formed by wire, which are distributed equally along the circumference and parallel with axis of rotation of the rotary spinning electrode, while the end faces are made of electrically non-conducting material and all the spinning members are mutually connected in a electrically conductive manner.
