Patent number: 9837143Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for reducing power consumption during the operation of a SRAM cell. Embodiments of the present invention reduce power consumption by determining switching activity, and based off a determination of low switching activity, gates off a core which is not written; and limits switching activity on the unaddressed core by applying the highest order bit.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2016Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hans-Werner Anderson, Thomas Kalla, Jens Noack, Holger Wetter

Patent number: 8976799Abstract: A high-speed I/O interface that allows a number of native I/O formats to be encapsulated into PCIe Vendor Defined Messages (“VDMs”) for transfer over a single physical medium, preferably optical, and is thus referred to as the converged I/O (“CIO”) interface. The devices can be designed to provide synchronization (time value, frequency, and phase) among a network of routers, with signal paths of several meters, thereby providing an accurate time base suitable for exacting audiovisual applications.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2008Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Paul A. Baker, Michael W. Murphy, Eric Werner Anderson, Colin Whitby-Strevens, David Ferguson, Keith Diefendorff, Ron Hochsprung, William Cornelius

Patent number: 8840157Abstract: An adaptive device for aiding a person with a medical condition is provided. The adaptive device is attached to a hand or limb and includes a platform. A bumper is positioned on the platform to aid in the positioning and securing of the device. A holder extends from the platform, either perpendicularly or at an angle to the platform. The holder is configured to receive an item to aid the individual in everyday tasks. The device also includes securing members, which may be straps that are connected to the device to further aid in securing the device to the user. Additionally, the device may include cushions or other comfort members on the bumper, platform, and/or holder.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2012Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Flying Monkey's FoundationInventors: Gabriella J. Dempsey, Kate Murray, Mackenzie Grewell, Zoe Groat, Courtney Pohlen, Maria Werner Anderson

Patent number: 8463881Abstract: A high-speed optical interface for connecting computers to external I/O devices allows a number of native I/O formats to be encapsulated into PCIe Vendor Defined Messages (“VDMs”) for transfer over a single physical medium, preferably optical, and is thus referred to as the converged I/O (“CIO”) interface. Standard PCIe bridges are modified to support peer-to-peer communications, allowing greater exploitation of the capabilities of PCIe.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2008Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Paul A. Baker, Michael W. Murphy, Eric Werner Anderson, Colin Whitby-Strevens, David Ferguson, Keith Diefendorff, Ron Hochsprung, William Cornelius

Patent number: 7152567Abstract: The invention relates to a piston for an internal combustion engine comprising piston-pin bores, into which lubrication grooves that run around the nadir and equator zones of said bores are machined. The aim of the invention, is to simplify the production of the piston-pin bores provided with said lubrication grooves. To achieve this, each of the lubrication grooves has a central region, whose groove base has a depth of less than 100 ?m. Said central region is flanked by groove areas facing towards the interior and exterior of the piston. The bases of said grooves are inclined towards the longitudinal axis, each forming an acute angle with the longitudinal axis of the piston-pin bore.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2003Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: Mahle GmbHInventors: Werner Anderson, Thomas Hoch

Patent number: 5845152Abstract: A method for the loading and unloading of a FIFO in an isochronous transmission mechanism uses descriptor blocks which have both branch addresses and skip addresses. The method can recover from cycle loss by selectively resending or skipping a packet that should have been sent in the lost cycle. The method also works two cycles ahead of schedule, in an attempt to keep the FIFO loaded with all of the packets for two cycles of transmission. The FIFO is filled according to a DMA algorithm and drained according to a Link algorithm where the two algorithms are coordinated to communicate information about lost cycles and current demands or opportunities for transmission. If the Link algorithm detects a lost cycle, it communicates that to the DMA algorithm and the DMA algorithm seeks to compensate appropriately. These two algorithms describe mechanisms for the DMA and Link sides of an isochronous transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1997Date of Patent: December 1, 1998Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: Eric Werner Anderson, Michael K.

Patent number: 5630391Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine, particularly for motor vehicles. An oil-collecting chamber is disposed between the pin bosses above the pin boss bore. Oil collects within the chamber and is directed down onto the pin bosses, during reciprocating motion of the piston. The width of the chamber is approximately the same as the diameter of the pin boss bore.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1994Date of Patent: May 20, 1997Assignee: Mahle GmbHInventors: Werner Anderson, Thomas Hoch, Dietmar Wetzel
