Publication number: 20240125327Abstract: The present invention is an HVAC fan array wiring system that provides a quick connect box that is provided within the air stream of an HVAC air handler. Because the wiring for each fan within the fan array is to be connected to the quick connect box, the wiring materials and placement of the wiring can be predetermined at the time the fan array is designed. Accordingly, the novel wiring system and quick connect box reduces redundancies in manufacturing and installation of the fan array. Furthermore, the quick connect box and wiring system allows for easy installation of the HVAC fan array at a job site and improves a customer's experience with the control panel. This is primarily because, with the use of the claimed invention, an electrician need only link a main control and power line to the quick connect box and therefore, can install the control panel in a location that provides ease of access to the customer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Q-PAC Systems Inc.Inventors: Robert Clarke Story, Matthew Wayne Kent, David Kurt Thomas

Patent number: 11730325Abstract: Examples herein describe techniques for communicating between data processing engines in an array of data processing engines. In one embodiment, the array is a 2D array where each of the DPEs includes one or more cores. In addition to the cores, the data processing engines can include streaming interconnects which transmit streaming data using two different modes: circuit switching and packet switching. Circuit switching establishes reserved point-to-point communication paths between endpoints in the interconnect which routes data in a deterministic manner. Packet switching, in contrast, transmits streaming data that includes headers for routing data within the interconnect in a non-deterministic manner. In one embodiment, the streaming interconnects can have one or more ports configured to perform circuit switching and one or more ports configured to perform packet switching.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: XILINX, INC.Inventors: Peter McColgan, Goran Hk Bilski, Juan J.

Publication number: 20230204578Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) oligomers as markers of RTK activation and signalling. Methods are described based upon determining the presence of RTK oligomers and/or determining the nanometre spatial separation between RTK molecules assembled as RTK oligomers at the cell surface. Such methods are directed to the monitoring of RTK activation in cells and the detection of mutations in RTKs. Methods are also described for determining prognosis for subjects having diseases characterised by aberrant RTK activation and for selecting subjects for treatment with RTK inhibitors.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2022Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: United Kingdom Research and InnovationInventors: Marisa Martin-Fernandez, David Clarke, Sarah Needham, Daniel Rolfe, Michael Hirsch

Patent number: 11669464Abstract: Examples herein describe performing non-sequential DMA read and writes. Rather than storing data sequentially, a DMA engine can write data into memory using non-sequential memory addresses. A data processing engine (DPE) controller can submit a first job using first parameters that instruct the DMA engine to store data using a first non-sequential write pattern. The DPE controller can also submit a second job using second parameters that instruct the DMA engine to store data using a second, different non-sequential write pattern. In this manner, the DMA engine can switch to performing DMA writes using different non-sequential patterns. Similarly, the DMA engine can use non-sequential reads to retrieve data from memory. When performing a first DMA read, the DMA engine can retrieve data from memory using a first sequential pattern and then perform a second DMA read where data is retrieved from memory using a second non-sequential read pattern.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: XILINX, INC.Inventors: Goran Hk Bilski, Baris Ozgul, David Clarke, Juan J.
