Publication number: 20200208928Abstract: A cleaning system may be used with a heat exchanger having a core and a fan. The core may include a first core face and an oppositely disposed second core face. The cleaning system may include a plurality of wash nozzles arranged between the first core face and the fan of the heat exchanger. The cleaning system may be used while the heat exchanger is in operation, reducing the downtime of the heat exchanger. A method of retrofitting a heat exchanger with a cleaning system may include arranging a plurality of wash nozzles between the first core face and the fan of the heat exchanger. A method of cleaning a heat exchanger may include arranging a plurality of wash nozzles between the first core face and the fan, supplying a cleaning fluid to the plurality of nozzles, and initiating a cleaning cycle while the heat exchanger is in operation so that the fan assists in moving the cleaning fluid through the core and removing accumulated debris from the second core face.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2019Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: Jay S.

Patent number: 10541693Abstract: A low-power, high-performance source-synchronous chip interface which provides rapid turn-on and facilitates high signaling rates between a transmitter and a receiver located on different chips is described in various embodiments. Some embodiments of the chip interface include, among others: a segmented “fast turn-on” bias circuit to reduce power supply ringing during the rapid power-on process; current mode logic clock buffers in a clock path of the chip interface to further reduce the effect of power supply ringing; a multiplying injection-locked oscillator (MILO) clock generator to generate higher frequency clock signals from a reference clock; a digitally controlled delay line which can be inserted in the clock path to mitigate deterministic jitter caused by the MILO clock generator; and circuits for periodically re-evaluating whether it is safe to retime transmit data signals in the reference clock domain directly with the faster clock signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2019Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Rambus Inc.Inventors: Jared L.

Publication number: 20190086990Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that supports dynamic bursts to facilitate frequency-agile communication between a memory controller and a memory device. During operation, the system monitors a reference clock signal received at an interface between the memory device and the memory controller. Upon detecting a frequency change in the reference clock signal from a fullrate to a subrate, the interface operates in a burst mode, wherein data is communicated through bursts separated by intervening low-power intervals during which portions of the interface are powered down.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2018Publication date: March 21, 2019Applicant: Rambus Inc.Inventors: Jared L.
