Publication number: 20130175824Abstract: This invention provides a foldable/retractable and unfoldable/deployable, rearwardly tapered assembly for vehicle bodies that accommodate dual swing-out doors. The aerodynamic assembly includes a right half and a left half mounted on respective doors. Each half is constructed with a series of panels that form half of a tapered box when deployed on the rear of the vehicle, the bottom panels and top panels being sealed together at a pair of weather seals along the centerline. The panels are joined by hinges and the top and bottom panels form two sections along diagonal lines to facilitate folding of all panels in a low-profile stacked orientation. A swing arm assembly and gas spring biases the panels into a deployed position that can be refolded. The top and bottom panels are partly inwardly folded when deployed to define external valleys using a stop assembly that prevents the panels from “locking up”.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2013Publication date: July 11, 2013Applicant: ADVANCED TRANSIT DYNAMICS, INC.Inventor: Advanced Transit Dynamics, Inc.

Publication number: 20130169329Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing a delay line to a reference clock includes a delay line that receives a clock input signal based on a reference clock and outputs a delay edge signal according to a control adjustment. An injector receives a first rise edge of the reference clock and in response to a first trigger, sends the clock input signal to the delay line. A synchronizer determines that the rise edge has passed through the delay line, and in response, sends the injector a second trigger to send a next single fall edge of the clock input signal to the delay line. A charge pump determines a timing difference between the delay edge signal and a reference edge signal sent from the injector. The charge pump sends the control signal to the delay line to adjust the delay setting of the delay line based on the timing difference.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2012Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicant: ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.Inventor: Shawn Searles

Publication number: 20130170078Abstract: A high voltage protection circuit for a non-tolerant integrated circuit is described herein. A non-tolerant integrated circuit may be a powered down integrated circuit or a low voltage tolerant integrated circuit, that may be exposed to a high voltage source such as an external circuit, device or power supply. The high voltage protection circuit includes a limiting transistor circuit, a control transistor circuit, and an isolation transistor circuit. The limiting transistor circuit limits or holds the voltage at the signal bump to be less than a voltage that can damage the circuit. The isolation transistor circuit disconnects input/output signal circuitry from normal protection circuitry. Both the limiting transistor circuit and the isolation transistor circuit are controlled by the control transistor circuit and are responsive to the power supply voltage being off.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2011Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicant: ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.Inventors: Anil Kumar, Michael A.

Publication number: 20130173834Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for implementing transaction layer processing (TLP) hint (TPH) protocols in the context of the peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) base specification. The method allows an endpoint function associated with a PCI Express device to configure a steering tag header in the open systems interconnect (OSI) transaction layer to identify a particular processing resource that the requester desires to target, such as a specific processor or cache location within the execution core. A bit mask may be implemented by the hardware or operating system, for example, by embedding the bit mask in the steering tag header. The bit mask provides administrative oversight of the steering tag header configuration, to thereby mitigate unintended denial of service attacks or cache misses occasioned by aggressive steering tag configuration strategies employed by endpoint functions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2011Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicant: ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.Inventors: Stephen D.
