Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprising receiving at a first node a first data frame having a first frequency and a first phase, receiving at the first node a second data frame having a second frequency and a second phase, and determining a first phase difference between the first phase and the second phase by correlating one or more first sampling values associated with data in the first data frame with one or more second sampling values associated with data in the second data frame.

Abstract: An approach for processing data by a pipeline of a single hardware-implemented virtual multiple instance finite state machine (VMI FSM) is presented. Based on a current state and context of an FSM instance, an input token selected from multiple input tokens to enter a pipeline of the VMI FSM, and a status of an environment, a new state of the FSM instance is determined and an output token is determined. The input token includes a reference to the FSM instance. In one embodiment, the reference is an InfiniBand QP number. After a receipt by the pipeline of the first input token and prior to determining the new state of the FSM instance and determining the output token, a logic circuit selects a second input token to enter the pipeline. The second input token includes a reference to a second FSM instance.

Abstract: A method and program product for processing data by a pipeline of a single hardware-implemented virtual multiple instance finite state machine (VMI FSM). An input token of multiple input tokens is selected to enter a pipeline of the VMI FSM. The input token includes a reference to an FSM instance. In one embodiment, the reference is an InfiniBand QP number. After being received at the pipeline, a current state and context of the FSM instance are fetched from an array based on the reference and inserted into a field of the input token. A new state of the FSM instance is determined and an output token is generated. The new state and the output token are based on the current state, context, a first input value, and an availability of a resource. The new state of the first FSM instance is written to the array.

Abstract: A block system includes a main block that has the lift and alignment devices positioned to overlie a longitudinal axis that intersects a center of gravity of the main block, and has a defined distance from the lift and alignment devices to a front surface of the main block. The block system further includes extended blocks that each has the lift and alignment devices positioned not to overlie a longitudinal axis that intersects a center of gravity of the extended block, but has the same defined distance from the lift and alignment devices to a front face of the extended block that exists on the main block. The recessed portions of the block may be larger than the lift and alignment devices, thereby allowing the blocks to be stacked in either a vertical wall or in a setback wall.
