Abstract: Methods are described for identifying and acting upon predetermined message patterns during reception of a data stream structured as USB message frames. A first embodiment performs pattern matching between received message bits and one or more predetermined sequences, identifying unscrambled ordered set messages. A second embodiment applies a descrambling operation and performs comparable pattern matching between descrambled received message bits and one or more additional predetermined sequences, identifying scrambled ordered set messages.

Abstract: Flexible system and method of temperature control options for an enclosed space in a refrigerator appliance. A surface at or near the enclosable space includes a universal receiver. Different temperature control modules complementarily fit into the receiver. The manufacturer or user selects between modules of different types for different temperature control features. One module can be simply mechanical adjustment which is mechanically translated to a damper. Another option would be an electronic or electrical interface for the user that would send a signal to a controller that would electrically actuator damper control for temperature control in the enclosed space.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an Enhanced High Bandwidth Memory (EHBM) are described, utilizing fewer physical wires than a HBM interface with each wire operating at a much higher signaling rate. The same logical signals and commands of HBM are supported over this higher-speed transport, with the resulting lower wire count and reduced signal density allowing use of lower-cost interconnection such as an organic rather than a silicon interposer between GPU and DRAM stack.

Abstract: A system allows people to more easily find products matching their skin tone. The system includes a database that categorizes cosmetic products according to a skin tone color set. The system includes a scanning device to scan one or more spots of a person's skin. For example, three different spots can be scanned. The scan determines a skin-tone identifier for the person's skin. With this skin-tone identifier, the customer can view products that match their skin tone.

Abstract: A first itinerary comprising a first plurality of first location elements associated with locations to be visited during a trip, each first location element comprising first duration information, first arrival date information, and first departure date information, is maintained. A second itinerary comprising a plurality of transport elements associated with transportation to be used during the trip and a second plurality of second location elements, each second location element associated with a corresponding first location element, each second location element comprising second duration information, second arrival date information, and second departure date information is maintained. Modification information indicating that a duration specified in a selected first location element has been altered is received. A first duration, first arrival date information, or first departure date information in a first location element is adjusted based on the modification information.

Abstract: For example, a method of detecting frame marker quality includes: detecting, in a bit-stream sent from a first component to a second component of a common hardware unit, a frame marker having a bit pattern different from an uncorrupted frame marker specified by a communication protocol; and assigning a quality level indicator to the frame marker based on a difference between said bit pattern and a bit pattern of said uncorrupted frame marker.

Abstract: An insulated icemaking compartment is provided in the fresh food compartment of a bottom mount refrigerator. The icemaking compartment may be integrally formed with the liner of the fresh food compartment, or alternatively, may be modular for installation anywhere in the fresh food compartment. A removable bin assembly with a front cover normally seals the icemaking compartment to maintain the temperature in the compartment. A cold air duct formed in the rear wall of the refrigerator supplies cold air from the freezer compartment to the icemaking compartment. A return air duct directs a portion of the air from the icemaking compartment back to the freezer compartment. An air vent in the icemaking compartment directs another portion of air into the fresh food compartment. A control system provides for controlling refrigerator functions in a manner that promotes energy efficiency.

Abstract: A system for generating CRC code words associated with data ranging up to w-bytes in width to be communicated over a communications channel includes a first plurality of serially coupled code-generation blocks each for generating a CRC value based on data input to each block, respective blocks of the first plurality configured for receiving data inputs having respective byte widths ranging from 2N+M to 2N?L+M, where N is equal to log2(w), and M is an offset value, and L is a whole number based on a maximum propagation delay criteria; a second plurality of parallel coupled code-generation blocks each for generating a CRC value based on data inputs, respective blocks of the second plurality configured for receiving data having respective byte widths ranging from 2N?L?1+M to 20; and, a device for selecting particular CRC code generation blocks in the first and second pluralities to be included in a CRC calculation based on the data input; wherein any number of data input bytes may be processed.

Abstract: Embodiments herein present a method for automated simulation testbench generation for serializer/deserializer datapath systems. The method provides a database of transactors for generating and checking data within the datapath system, wherein the transactors are adaptable to arbitrary configurations of the datapath system. The database is provided with a single set of transactors per core. Next, the method automatically selects one set of transactors from the database for inclusion into the simulation testbenches. Following this, the method maps the first datapath and the second datapath through the datapath system by interconnecting the selected set of the transactors with the datapath system. The method further comprises setting control pins on the cores to facilitate propagation of the data through the cores of the datapath system. Subsequently, the control pins are traced to input ports and control registers.
