  • Method and apparatus for implementing output queue-based flow control
    Patent number: 8174987
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing output queue-based flow control is provided. The method includes: implementing queue scheduling and flow control by using an output port-based cell queue and by counting the number of cells from different angles. In this system, the flow control and queue management are performed separately. The queue management is directly applied to the cell scheduling. The flow control does not directly depend on the cell statistical results in the queue management. Instead, it is implemented on the basis of the cell statistical results that are obtained according to the cell priority, output port and source chip number of the cells. Therefore, the provided method and apparatus may reduce and simplify the number of queues to be scheduled and implement fine and flexible back pressure control.

  • Die casting process incorporating computerized pattern recognition techniques
    Patent number: 8167022
    Abstract: A die casting process using pattern recognition techniques to identify those die castings manufactured under conditions likely to produce a die casting which would subsequently prove unacceptable for use. By promptly identifying such die castings, they may be discarded before being shipped to a remote facility for further processing. As a result, the rejection rate of die castings at the remote facility may be reduced and the raw materials used to form the discarded die castings may be more readily recycled.
