  • Patent number: 7404061
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program manager for a computing system memory in the operation of a computing process. At least one memory segment provides memory resources for the computing process. The memory segment includes a plurality of memory objects, each of the memory objects includes an equal number of bytes and has a predetermined order that associates the address of the memory object in the memory segment to the addresses of the remainder of the plurality of memory objects. A pointer identifies a first memory object from the plurality of memory objects. The first memory object occupies a first ordered position according to the predetermined order. The process allocates the first memory objects from the memory segment during the operation of the computing process. The pointer increments to a second memory object having a second ordered position relative to the first memory object.

  • Patent number: 7345428
    Abstract: A system (10) is provided herein for monitoring the harmonic content of the RF signal delivered to an RF powered device (13). The system comprises (a) a voltage transducer (16) adapted to sample the voltage of the RF signal and to output a first signal representative thereof, (b) a current transducer (17) adapted to sample the current of the RF signal and to output a second signal representative thereof, and (c) a memory device (67) in communication with at least one, and preferably both, of the aforementioned transducers 16 and 17 and which contains calibration information specific to the transducers.
