  • Shaft assembly for motor
    Publication number: 20060291758
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shaft assembly for a motor. The shaft assembly comprises: a shaft tube, a bearing, a shaft and at least two engaged rings. The shaft has an end and a slot. At least two engaged rings are disposed in the slot of the shaft, and comprise a first engaged ring and a second engaged ring. The first engaged ring is a metal material and the second engaged ring is a non-metal material. The material strength of the first engaged ring is larger than that of the second engaged ring. The first engaged ring can be utilized to support and position the shaft, and the second engaged ring can be utilized to cushion the shaft. Therefore, the problems of motor noise, rotor shift or even separating from the bearing can be resolved simultaneously so as to increase the stability of motor.

  • Efficient system bootstrap loading
    Publication number: 20060294309
    Abstract: An efficient system for bootstrap loading scans cache lines into a cache store queue during a scan phase, and then transmits the cache lines from the cache store queue to a cache memory array during a functional phase. Scan circuitry stores a given cache line in a set of latches associated with one of a plurality of cache entries in the cache store queue, and passes the cache line from the latch set to the associated cache entry. The cache lines may be scanned from test software that is external to the computer system. Read/claim dispatch logic dispatches store instructions for the cache entries to read/claim machines which write the cache lines to the cache memory array without obtaining write permission, after the read/claim machines evaluate a mode bit which indicates that cache entries in the cache store queue are scanned cache lines. In the illustrative embodiment the cache memory is an L2 cache.
