Abstract: A method and system to dynamically manager power in a communication system are provided herein. The method comprises the steps of monitoring a transmit data queue once every first pre-determined period of time and determining whether the transmit data queue is empty for a pre-determined number of times. The method further includes the step of generating a transition state signal to stop de-queuing of data from the transmit queue if the transmit data queue is empty for the pre-determined number of times and selectively operating portions of a Physical Layer (PHY) that are used for functions other than transmitting and receiving an idle signal in a low power mode.

Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for low power IDLE signal transmission in Ethernet networks are provided. In this regard, during time periods between transmissions of actual data by a local Ethernet link partner, the local Ethernet Link partner may generate one or more signals, in place of a standard Ethernet IDLE signal, that enable synchronization between Ethernet link partners. In this manner, the generated signals may enable reducing power consumption as compared to standard Ethernet IDLE signals. Accordingly, link activity may be monitored to enable detecting periods when there may be no actual data for transmission and the generated signals may be transmitted. The generated signals may be transmitted at a reduced symbol rate as compared to standard Ethernet IDLE signals. The generated signals may be transmitted via fewer network links as compared to standard Ethernet IDLE signals.

Abstract: Communication devices coupled via a communication link may comprise physical layer devices that may be operable to determine presence of a received signal and to mitigate noise in the signal prior to processing and/or validating the signal. Analog and/or digital signal processing may be utilized to process the signal and/or mitigate noise in the signal. Noise mitigation may comprise near-end crosstalk cancelling and/or echo cancelling and/or may utilize local transmit signal information. Subsequent to noise mitigation, samples of the noise reduced signal may be accumulated and/or an average signal strength and/or average signal power level may be determined. The average signal strength and/or average signal power level may be compared to one or more thresholds which may be configurable and/or programmable.

Abstract: A redox flow battery system is presented that utilizes a rebalancing cell. A pump based on the Venturi principle is coupled to the rebalancing cell in order to actively circulate hydrogen gas through the rebalancing cell. The venturi pump requires no moving parts which eliminates problems of reliability and cost. Utilizing the venturi pump to actively circulate gas can significantly enhanced the function of the rebalance cell thereby providing enhanced capacity and performance of the flow battery system.

Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for extended range Ethernet link discovery signaling are provided. A local PHY may detect of one or more active twisted-pair wires in a remote PHY in extended range applications. The local PHY may determine whether to operate as a master or slave based on detected pairs. When operating as a master device, the local PHY may correct twisted-pair wire swap information received from the remote PHY before communicating an encoded link length value to the remote PHY. When operating as a slave device, the local PHY may transmit encoded twisted-pair wire swap information to the remote PHY before recovering a link length value communicated from the remote PHY. The local PHY may communicate supported operating modes based on the link length value to the remote PHY. Moreover, the local PHY may enable establishing a common full duplex operating mode with the remote PHY.

Abstract: A fluid compensation apparatus is configured to provide replacement fluid to a fluid-based cooling loop, while removing dissolved gas or gas in gross bubbles from the cooling loop. Removal or reduction of gas from the cooling loop reduces or prevents pump vapor lock. The removed gas is retained within the fluid compensation apparatus. The fluid compensation apparatus is configured to prevent the trapped gas from being re-introduced to the fluid-based cooling loop, regardless of the orientation of the fluid compensation apparatus. Additionally, the fluid compensation apparatus is configured to remove gas from and add fluid to the cooling loop with limited or no pressure drop between the inlet port and the outlet port of the fluid compensation apparatus. As a result, the pump does not require additional power to compensate for such a pressure differential.

Abstract: A programmable channel-swap crossbar switch for swapping signal flow from one channel to another within an Ethernet physical layer device (PHY) is presented. The crossbar switch includes two or more programmed multiplexers, each multiplexer configured to receive two or more input signals and to select which one of the input signals to pass to a programmed corresponding channel, such that a first input signal associated with a first channel can be swapped to a second channel as operating conditions necessitate. The crossbar switch can be used for Ethernet communications with various communication speeds, such as 10BaseT, 100BaseT, and Gigabit communications. A crossbar switch can be used in both a transmit path and a receive path. Two crossbar switches may be used in a receive path in order to undo channel swapping for control signal processing. A method of channel-swapping in an Ethernet PHY communications system is also presented.
