  • Publication number: 20230236925
    Abstract: An apparatus has tag checking circuitry responsive to a target address to: identify a guard tag stored in a memory system in association with a block of one or more memory locations, the block containing a target memory location identified by the target address, perform a tag check based on the guard tag and an address tag associated with the target address, and in response to detecting a mismatch in the tag check, perform an error response action. The apparatus also has tag mapping storage circuitry to store mapping information indicative of a mapping between guard tag values and corresponding address tag values. The tag checking circuitry remaps at least one of the guard tag and the address tag based on the mapping information stored by the tag mapping storage circuitry to generate a remapped tag for use in the tag check.

  • Patent number: 11138950
    Abstract: Efficiently transmitting image data to an electronic display may be provided by skipping regions of the electronic display that display a default value. The electronic display may include a number of pixels, a row driver, and a data driver. The row driver may activate a first subset of the pixels for programming. The data driver may program a default pixel value to respective pixels of the first subset of the pixels for which image data has not been received and may program image data to respective pixels of the first subset of the pixels for which image data has been received.

  • Patent number: 10790771
    Abstract: A method for determining a droop response profile of a rotating electrical machine supplying electricity to an electrical grid having a network frequency varying on either side of a nominal frequency, in which a measured value of the rotation speed of the rotating machine is retrieved, and the droop response parameters dependent on the measured speed value are defined. The droop response profile is a graph centered on the coordinates of an origin point between 99% and 101% of the measured speed and defined by at least two points of coordinates in the case of underspeed and/or by at least two points of coordinates in the case of overspeed, each of the points having for its abscissa a speed value as a percentage of the measured speed, and for the ordinates, a filtered speed value as a percentage of the measured speed modulated by at least one of the droop response parameters.

    Abstract: A method for determining a droop response profile of a rotating electrical machine supplying electricity to an electrical network having a network frequency varying on either side of a nominal frequency, wherein a measured rotational speed value and droop response parameters are defined. The droop response profile is a graph centered on the coordinates ([X5; Y5]) of an origin point between 99% and 101% of the measured speed value and defined by at least two coordinate points ([X4,Y4], [X0, Y0]) in the case of over-speed, each of the points having as abscissa a speed value as a percentage of the measured speed value, and for ordinates a filtered speed value as a percentage of the measured speed value modulated by at least one of the droop response parameters.

  • Patent number: 8355819
    Abstract: In operating a gas turbine, there can be a difference between the desired heating value of the fuel and the actual needs of the fuel for the supplied fuel to be ignited. In one aspect, fuel parameters related to the molecular weight of the fuel such as specific gravity and pressure drop are determined. Ignitability of the fuel is calculated based on the fuel parameters and adjusted as necessary to bring the fuel's ignitability to designed values. The fuel's ignitability can be calculated without actually igniting the fuel and also without direct knowledge of the fuel's calorific value or its composition.
