  • Publication number: 20230046464
    Abstract: A system and method include measuring input electric current that is input into an electrically controlled valve to change a position of the valve. Output electric current that is output from the valve in response to the input electric current being input into the electrically controlled valve is measured. Position signals are generated using a sensor coupled with the electrically controlled valve that are indicative of the position of the valve. Baseline values associated with the input electric current, the output electric current, and the position signals are calculated. A health state of the valve is determined by comparing the baseline values associated with the input electric current, the output electric current, and the position signals with subsequently measured values associated with the input electric current, the output electric current, and the position signals.

  • Patent number: 9753726
    Abstract: A family of computers is disclosed and claimed that supports simultaneous processes from the single core up to multi-chip Program Execution Systems (PES). The instruction processing of the instructed resources is local, dispensing with the need for large VLIW memories. The cores through the PES have maximum performance for Amdahl-compliant algorithms like matrix inversion, because the multiplications do not stall and the other circuitry keeps up. Cores with log based multiplication generators improve this performance by a factor of two for sine and cosine calculations in single precision floating point and have even greater performance for loge and ex calculations. Apparatus specifying, simulating, and/or layouts of the computer (components) are disclosed. Apparatus the computer and/or its components are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20090009182
    Abstract: The present invention enables asynchronous circuits to be tested in the same manner and using the same equipment and test strategies as with synchronous circuits. The feedback path of an asynchronous element, for example a Muller C element, includes a test structure which may be invoked for the purpose of providing the means for synchronous testing. When configured for testing, the test structure provides a clocked latching and selecting function which, by virtue of breaking the feedback path of the self-timing device, prevents the device being tested from switching states until desired. When the element is not in test mode, the test structure is configured to pass through the data that normally flows through the feedback path unchanged. The result is an ability to test an asynchronous device or subsystem of a device in the same manner as and/or intermixed with a synchronous device.
