Patent number: 11941932Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for controlling access to a controlled area. The method may comprise receiving a credential identifier in an access controller associated with an entrance to the enclosed area, and then authenticating the credential identifier. The method may then comprise sending an unlock signal through a solid state relay within the access controller to power a lock associated with but external to the access controller to unlock a door at the entrance to the enclosed area when the credential identifier has been successfully authenticated.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Isonas, Inc.Inventors: Michael Radicella, Roger Matsumoto, Matthew J.

Patent number: 11059756Abstract: A method of forming a pelletized fertilizer includes combining a fertilizer material with an organic binder to form a wet mixture, and drying the wet mixture to form particles comprising the fertilizer material and the organic binder dispersed therein. The fertilizer material includes solid particles of langbeinite, and the organic binder includes at least one cellulose polymer in a solid phase or a liquid gel phase. The dried particles are coated with mineral oil to form coated particles. A pelletized fertilizer includes pellets comprising solid particles of langbeinite (and optionally, other fertilizer materials) interspersed with at least one cellulose polymer. A mineral oil coating is over the pellets.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignees: Intrepid Potash, Inc., Enviro Tech Services, Inc.Inventors: Michael J.

Publication number: 20190332274Abstract: System, method, and apparatus for integrated main memory (MM) and configurable coprocessor (CP) chip for processing subset of network functions. Chip supports external accesses to MM without additional latency from on-chip CP. On-chip memory scheduler resolves all bank conflicts and configurably load balances MM accesses. Instruction set and data on which the CP executes instructions are all disposed on-chip with no on-chip cache memory, thereby avoiding latency and coherency issues. Multiple independent and orthogonal threading domains used: a FIFO-based scheduling domain (SD) for the I/O; a multi-threaded processing domain for the CP. The CP is an array of independent, autonomous, unsequenced processing engines processing on-chip data tracked by SD of external CMD and reordered per FIFO CMD sequence before transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2018Publication date: October 31, 2019Applicant: MoSys, Inc.Inventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 9354823Abstract: A system includes a host device that may be configured to initiate memory requests to a system memory. The system also includes a memory controller that may be configured receive the memory requests and to format the memory requests into memory transactions that are conveyed to the memory device via a memory interface. The memory transactions include a memory write burst command having a first frame that includes a corresponding opcode positioned in one of a first command slot or a second command slot. The memory write burst command may also include a number of subsequent frames for conveying a data payload, as specified for example, by the opcode. The control unit may be configured to generate a number of concurrent sequential memory write operations to the memory in response to receiving the memory write burst command.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2013Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: MoSys, Inc.Inventors: Michael J Miller, Michael J Morrison, Jay B Patel
