Patent number: 10909060Abstract: A data transmission medium includes first and second conductors and a first reversible plug connector coupled to a first end thereof. The first reversible plug connector includes a plurality of signal pins, a crossbar switch, a receiver, and a transmitter. In response to a first configuration state, the plurality of signal pins includes a first predetermined number of reception pins and a second predetermined number of transmission pins. The first and second predetermined numbers are different from each other and each is greater than zero. The crossbar switch couples the first predetermined number of reception pins to a first port and the second predetermined number of transmission pins to a second port. The receiver has an input coupled to the first conductor, and an output coupled to the first port. The transmitter has an input coupled to the second port and an output coupled to the second conductor.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2018Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: ATI Technologies ULCInventor: James Hunkins

Patent number: 8781260Abstract: The systems and methods include multiple processors that each couple to receive commands and data, where the commands and/or data correspond to frames of video that include multiple pixels. Additionally, an interlink module is coupled to receive processed data corresponding to the frames from each of the multiple processors. The interlink module selects pixels of the frames from the processed data of one of the processors based on a predetermined pixel characteristic and outputs the frames that include the selected pixels.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2013Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: ATI Technologies ULCInventors: James Hunkins, Raja Koduri

Patent number: 8681160Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing data. The systems and methods include multiple processors that each couple to receive commands and data, where the commands and/or data correspond to frames of video that include multiple pixels. Additionally, an interlink module is coupled to receive processed data corresponding to the frames from each of the multiple processors. The interlink module controls a phase alignment between the processors. The interlink module selects pixels of the frames from the processed data of one of the processors based on a predetermined pixel characteristic and outputs the frames that include the selected pixels.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2005Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: ATI Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Syed Athar Hussain, James Hunkins, Jacques Vallieres

Patent number: 8272900Abstract: An electrical connector, such as a circuit board connector, includes a first group or subassembly of electrical contacts physically separate from an adjacent and second group or subassembly of contacts. The first group of electrical contacts and second group of electrical contacts each include a row of lower contacts and upper contacts. The second group of electrical contacts has an identical but mirrored configuration as the first group of electrical contacts.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2010Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices Inc.Inventor: James Hunkins
