  • Publication number: 20110191088
    Abstract: Network-on-Chip (NoC) is an oncoming solution to the communication bottleneck of System-on-Chip (SoC). For a good design, it runs a simulation verification before the design is realized. The key factors to the accuracy and simulation speed of a simulator depend on how the simulator abstracts the NoC design. The present invention provides an object-oriented NoC modeling, which divides the NoC design space into many design blocks and models them into many abstraction levels. The present invention defines these models carefully to obtain good hardware accuracy. The present invention also provides an object implementation library of different abstraction levels. Thereby, the present invention can reduce the coding time via selecting required components from the object implementation library, inheriting them with some modifications or using them directly.

  • Publication number: 20110191774
    Abstract: Network-on-Chip (NoC) is to solve the performance bottleneck of communication in System-on-Chip, and the performance of the NoC significantly depends on the application traffic. The present invention establishes a system framework across multiple layers, and defines the interface function behaviors and the traffic patterns of layers. The present invention provides an application modeling in which the task-graph of parallel applications is described in a text method, called Parallel Application Communication Mechanism Description Format. The present invention further provides a system level NoC simulation framework, called NoC-centric System Exploration Platform, which defines the service spaces of layers in order to separate the traffic patterns and enable the independent designs of layers. Accordingly, the present invention can simulate a new design without modifying the framework of simulator or interface designs.

  • Patent number: 6691402
    Abstract: A mold structure of an extrusion tool for extruding and sealing a connector is disclosed. The mold structure is capable of being inserted into a mold supporting seat for receiving a coaxial cable; the mold structure clamping the coaxial cable. The mold structure has the following components. A seat is installed with a hole for receiving a coaxial cable. A chuck passes through the seat so that the chuck can move toward or leave away from the coaxial cable along an axial direction. A movable element is installed at one side of the seat for control an extent of movement of the chuck moving toward the coaxial cable along an axial direction. Thereby, the chuck moves toward or leaves from the axial direction; and the coaxial cable is clamped and fixed by a sufficient force.

  • Patent number: 6594888
    Abstract: A squeezing tool for coaxial cable connector, to be used for a coaxial cable interconnected to a coupling means, which comprises a tilted module support, two tilted movable modules being coaxially deployed in the tilted module support to support the connector of the coupling means. The coupling means is assembled with one end of the cable in a manner free from compression, tension, or pressure, plus a grip brought to advance or regress along the surface of the module axialwise by means of a cranket means. The connector coupling section is eventually thrusted into the module, while application of force axialwise is permitted to bring the module compressed into the module support. Meanwhile the perimeter of one end of the connector coupling section is uniformly squeezing to shrink essentially conically to facilitate coupling to the cable.
