  • High-amperage track busway
    Patent number: 12388246
    Abstract: Devices and systems for bus duct, busbars, and busways for high-amperage applications are described. An example assembly may include a first conductor assembly. The assembly also includes two or more electrical bar trunks. The two or more electrical bar trunks are each either a distribution bar or a transportation bar. The two or more electrical bar trunks are electrically connected to the first conductor assembly at a first end of each of the two or more electrical bar trunks. The assembly further includes a second conductor assembly. Each of the two or more electrical bar trunks are electrically connected to the second conductor assembly at a second end of each of the two or more electrical bar trunks.

  • Data access and address translation for retrieval of data amongst multiple interconnected access nodes
    Patent number: 7240143
    Abstract: A low-latency storage memory system is built from multiple memory units such as high-density random access memory. Multiple access ports provide access to memory units and send the resultant data out interface ports. The memory units communicate with the access ports through an interconnected mesh to allow any access port to access any memory unit. An address virtualization mechanism using address translators allows any access port of the memory storage system to access requested data as abstract objects without regard for the physical memory unit that the data is located in, or the absolute memory addresses within that memory unit.
