Patent number: 7990869Abstract: A method for monitoring data congestion in a computer network with multiple nodes and for controlling data transmission in the computer network. The method includes generating a congestion notification by the node which detects a data congestion and transmitting the congestion notification to the data source which is involved in the data congestion. The method also includes generating in the data source a congestion value which indicates how severe the data congestion is, and storing in a worst case array of the data source those congestion values which indicate the most severe data congestions.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2008Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Wolfgang Emil Denzel, Andreas Christian Döring, Maria Gabrani, Mircea Gusat, Patricia Maria Sagmeister, Thomas Schlipf

Patent number: 7954382Abstract: A pressure-measuring device is situated in a chamber of an internal combustion engine. The pressure-measuring device has a housing, a force-transmitting element that protrudes partly from the housing at a chamber-side opening of the housing, and a pressure sensor that is situated in an interior space of the housing. The pressure sensor stands in effective connection to the force-transmitting element. In addition, a diaphragm is provided that seals the interior space of the housing, in which the pressure sensor is situated, against the chamber-side opening. The diaphragm, which is preferably fashioned as a metal diaphragm, has a force-transmitting segment that is oriented in an axial direction of the force-transmitting element. Moreover, the pressure sensor stands in effective connection with the force-transmitting element via the force-transmitting segment of the diaphragm.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2007Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Christoph Kern, Ewgenij Landes, Reiko Zach, Michael Schuettoff, Michael Kleindl, Christian Doering, Steffen Schott, Pavlo Saltikov

Publication number: 20100300186Abstract: A pressure-measuring device is to be placed in a chamber of an internal combustion engine. The pressure-measuring device has a housing, a force-transmission element projecting out of the housing, and a pressure sensor disposed in an interior chamber of the housing. On the one hand, the pressure sensor is braced on a fixation element. On the other hand, to detect a pressure prevailing inside the chamber, the pressure sensor is operatively connected to the force-transmission element. The pressure sensor has a straight-through recess through which an electrical line is routed. In addition, a positioning element is provided, which has a straight-through recess in a guide region, the electrical line being routed through the straight-through recess, and the positioning element having a reduced thickness in the guide region. This makes it possible to reduce friction of the electrical line in the guide region at the straight-through recess, so that the pressure measurement is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2007Publication date: December 2, 2010Inventors: Christoph Kern, Ewgenij Landes, Michael Kleindl, Christian Doering, Steffen Schott, Pavlo Saltikov

Publication number: 20100170346Abstract: A sensor design, respectively a micromechanical sensor structure for capacitive relative-pressure measurement, that will allow very small pressure differentials to be reliably recorded at high absolute pressures even in harsh, particle-laden measuring environments. For that purpose, the micromechanical sensor element includes a deflectable diaphragm structure which is provided with at least one deflectable electrode, and a fixed support structure for at least one fixed counter-electrode which is located opposite the deflectable electrode. The diaphragm structure includes two mutually parallel configured diaphragms that are joined rigidly to one another via at least one connecting crosspiece, so that each application of force to one of the two diaphragms is directly transmitted to the respective other diaphragm.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2009Publication date: July 8, 2010Inventors: Bernhard Opitz, Christian Doering, Hans Artmann, Janpeter Wolff, Remigius Niekrawietz

Patent number: 7613850Abstract: A computer system controls ordered memory operations according to a programmatically-configured ordering class protocol to enable parallel memory access while maintaining ordered read responses. The system includes a memory and/or cache memory including a memory/cache controller, an I/O device for communicating memory access requests from system data sources and a memory controller I/O Interface. Memory access requests from the system data sources provide a respective ordering class value. The memory controller I/O Interface processes each memory access request and ordering class value communicated from a data source through the I/O device in coordination with the ordering class protocol. Preferably, the I/O device includes at least one register for storing ordering class values associated with system data sources that implement memory access requests.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2008Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andreas Christian Doering, Patricia Maria Sagmeister, Jonathan Bruno Rohrer, Silvio Dragone, Rolf Clauberg, Florian Alexander Auernhammer, Maria Gabrani
