  • Dynamic time-domain reflectometry analysis for field replaceable unit isolation in a running system
    Patent number: 10673732
    Abstract: A technique relates to dynamic time-domain reflectometry (TDR). A machine spares a bad lane in a bus. The bad lane is taken offline. TDR is dynamically executed on the bad lane while the bus is still in operation. A defect is isolated using results of the TDR.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 2, 2020
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION
    Inventors: Luiz C. Alves, Patrick J. Meaney, Christopher N. Oelsner, Gary A. Peterson, Christopher Steffen
