  • Pipe coupling clamp
    Patent number: 7883121
    Abstract: A pipe coupling clamp including a pair of clamp half members essentially C-shaped in cross-section each having a pipe flange receiving groove for receiving the mating flanges of two pipes to be coupled. The clamp half members being hinged together at one pair of ends by a hinge including plates and releasably connected together at the other pair of ends by a locking eyebolt and associated locking eyebolt nut hingedly connected at its proximal end to the end of one clamp half member to allow pivoting moving through a slot into an open securing jaw on the other end. The locking eyebolt includes, at its proximal end, an eyebolt seating portion connected to a stepped threaded portion of reduced diameter at its distal end. Thus, initially, on loosening of the nut, the locking eyebolt will not disengage from within the securing jaw.

  • Caulk free window trim
    Patent number: 7877951
    Abstract: There is provided a caulk free window trim for use with a replacement window in a wall having a window jam. The window jam has a jam liner. The window trim includes a vertical rigid first member for disposing against a portion of the replacement window. An angled flexible second member extends away from a predetermined intermediate position on the vertical rigid first member and above an uppermost portion of the vertical rigid first member in contact with a portion of the jam liner to prevent air from infiltrating into the wall between the jam liner and the replacement window. No caulking or painting is required because the angled flexible second member together with the vertical rigid first member seals any minor gaps and produces an attractive finished product.

  • Method and apparatus for measuring and compensating for static phase error in phase locked loops
    Patent number: 7880518
    Abstract: A method and circuit for static phase error measurement includes a reference clock delay chain having a selectable number of delay elements. A number of the delay elements are enabled in accordance with a select length signal to delay a reference clock signal. A feedback signal delay chain also has a selectable number of delay elements. A number of the delay elements are enabled in accordance with a select length signal to delay a feedback signal. A latch tests phase alignment between the delayed reference clock signal and the delayed feedback signal and outputs a measurement of static phase error.

  • Method and system for measuring status and state of remotely executing programs
    Patent number: 7882221
    Abstract: A system and method for providing attestation and/or integrity of a server execution environment are described. One or more parts of a server environment are selected for measurement. The one or more parts in a server execution environment are measured, and the measurements result in a unique fingerprint for each respective selected part. The unique fingerprints are aggregated by an aggregation function to create an aggregated value, which is determinative of running programs in the server environment. A measurement parameter may include the unique fingerprints, the aggregated value or a base system value and may be sent over a network interface to indicate the server environment status or state.

  • Programmable pulsewidth and delay generating circuit for integrated circuits
    Patent number: 7869302
    Abstract: A local on-chip programmable pulsewidth and delay generating circuit includes a clock generation circuit configured to receive a global clock signal and output a local clock signal. The clock generation circuit includes a pulse shaping portion which adjusts a pulse width of the global clock signal in accordance with at least one of a trailing edge delay and a leading edge delay. The leading edge delay is generated by a leading edge delay circuit, and the trailing edge delay is generated by a trailing edge delay circuit configured to apply a delay to a trailing edge of a pulse. The trailing edge delay circuit includes a delay chain having programmable stages of delay elements, each stage being independently controlled using control bits decoded from address latches.

  • Disposable built-in self-test devices, systems and methods for testing three dimensional integrated circuits
    Patent number: 7863918
    Abstract: A device and method for self-testing an integrated circuit layer for a three-dimensional integrated circuit includes integrally forming a disposable self-test circuit on a common substrate with a first circuit to be tested. The first circuit forms a layer in a three-dimensional integrated circuit structure. The first circuit is tested using circuitry of the self-test circuit. The self-test circuit is removed by detaching the self-test circuit from the first circuit.

  • Delay line regulation using high-frequency micro-regulators
    Patent number: 7859318
    Abstract: A regulated delay line device includes main regulator coupled to a node, and a plurality of delay branches coupled to the node to receive a voltage output to the node by the main regulator. Each of the plurality of delay branches includes a micro-regulator and a delay line. The delay line is coupled to the micro-regulator such that unfiltered noise is removed locally at each delay branch by a corresponding micro-regulator.

  • Method and apparatus for assigning fractional processing nodes to work in a stream-oriented computer system
    Patent number: 7853949
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for making fractional assignments of processing elements to processing nodes for stream-based applications in a distributed computer system includes determining an amount of processing power to give to each processing element. Based on a list of acceptable processing nodes, a determination of fractions of which processing nodes will work on each processing element is made. To update allocations of the amount of processing power and the fractions, the process is repeated.
