  • Patent number: 11968656
    Abstract: A system for monitoring cellular communications including a passive sensor device, processors, and memory devices. The memory devices having instructions that cause the processors to identify active downlink channels using a first radio to monitor each channel in a cellular spectrum and store downlink channel information, including configuration data, for each of the identified active downlink channels. The processors identify active uplink channels using a second radio to monitor each channel in the cellular spectrum and store uplink channel information for each of the identified active uplink channels. The processors correlate one of the active uplink channels with a corresponding active downlink channel and tune a third radio to the active uplink channel using the configuration data for the corresponding active downlink channel. The processors also tune a fourth radio to the active downlink channel corresponding to the at least one active uplink channel using the corresponding configuration data.

  • Patent number: 11959185
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for the electro-refinement of titanium aluminides to produce titanium-aluminum master alloys which process is effective even in the presence of substantial amounts of aluminum and in the presence of ten (10) or more weight percent oxygen in the material(s) to be refined. The process is likewise effective without the addition of titanium chlorides or other forms of soluble titanium to the electrolyte bath comprising halide salts of alkali metals or alkali-earth metals or a combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20090282199
    Abstract: The present invention systems and methods enable dynamic allocation and control of on-chip memory. In one embodiment, a system includes a plurality of internal memory components and a control component. The plurality of internal memory components store information. The control component controls access requests from a plurality of heterogeneous components to the internal memory components. The plurality of internal memory components are dynamically assigned to the plurality of heterogeneous components. The heterogeneous components can include different types of engines. In one embodiment, the system includes a clock compensation component for coordinating clocking for access requests from the heterogeneous engines.

  • Patent number: 5861190
    Abstract: A process of growing a dielectric layer includes a step of heating a gas mixture of at least one gas having a first chemical element of oxygen and a second chemical element other than oxygen to a first predetermined temperature to produce reactive precursors of the gas mixture. The reactive precursors are then introduced into a reaction chamber that houses at least one wafer to grow the dielectric layer on the wafer within the reaction chamber at a second predetermined temperature below the first predetermined temperature. A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus of growing the dielectric layer is also described.

  • Patent number: 5852451
    Abstract: A system and method for reordering memory references for pixels to improved bandwidth and performance in texture mapping systems and other graphics systems by improving memory locality in conventional page-mode memory systems. Pixel memory references are received from a client graphics engine and placed in a pixel priority heap. The pixel priority heap reorders the pixel memory references so that references requiring a currently open page are, in general, processed before references that require page breaks. Reordered pixel memory references are transmitted to a memory controller for accessing memory.
