Publication number: 20250132762Abstract: A deskew circuit receives a data signal and a clock signal of differing frequencies and indeterminate phase relationship. The deskew circuit selectively applies a delay to a data signal to obtain a delayed data signal. First and second latches of the deskew circuit latch the delayed data signal based on a rising edge and a falling edge of the clock signal, respectively. The deskew circuit detects a phase difference between output signals of the first and second latches. The deskew circuit adjusts the delay applied to the data signal based on the detected phase difference.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2023Publication date: April 24, 2025Inventor: Matthew James Paschal

Patent number: 11775002Abstract: A first oscillator signal and a second oscillator signal are transmitted to a processing unit. The first oscillator signal has a finite frequency or phase offset relative to the second oscillator signal. A first clock signal that is derived from the first oscillator signal is selected as a primary clock to clock the processing unit. A second clock signal derived from the second oscillator signal is aligned to the first clock signal. If a fault is detected on the first clock signal, the second clock signal is selected as the primary clock to clock the processing unit. Upon being selected as the primary clock, the phase of the second is stretched by one fixed phase for one clock cycle.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew James Paschal, Daniel M. Dreps, Glen A. Wiedemeier, Bruce George Rudolph, James Strom

Patent number: 10897225Abstract: A steady-state voltage on an oscillator output can be detected, independent of control signals received from other circuitry, by an oscillator failure detection circuit (OFDC) fabricated within an integrated circuit (IC). The OFDC can, in response to detecting the steady-state voltage, output an oscillator failure signal on a reference fail output. The OFDC can receive, with a first and a second buffer, an oscillator output signal from an oscillator output. Through the use of an electrically interconnected, pull-down device, pull-up network, pull-up device, pull-down network, Schmitt trigger, inverting Schmitt trigger and OR-gate, the OFDC can drive the oscillator failure signal onto an output of the OR-gate electrically connected to a reference fail output (RFO).Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James Strom, Matthew James Paschal, Bruce George Rudolph, Daniel M.

Patent number: 10722895Abstract: The present disclosure provides a generally cylindrical bowl support for a cone crusher which includes a plurality of evenly, circumferentially spaced ears around the periphery of the support. The ears are designed to have clamping cylinders mounted thereto to provide protection from tramp iron and the like passing through the cone crusher. A plurality of thickened ribs are defined in the support, at least some of the thickened ribs extending downwardly from the ears to form abutting polygon configurations to spread and absorb forces from a crushing operation. Other ones of the ribs define at least one circumferentially-extending, continuous ring forming portions of the polygons.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: McCloskey International LimitedInventors: James Paschal McCloskey, Andrzej Krol, Dennis Duellman

Patent number: 10610868Abstract: A rock crusher is provided that has a crusher cavity defined between a first part and a second part. A plurality of hydraulic cylinders are mounted between the first and second part, the hydraulic cylinders including a relief system. The relief system is included for reducing oil pressure within the hydraulic cylinders in the event uncrushables enter the crusher cavity, the relief system including a relief valve that is designed to open when hydraulic pressure in hydraulic cylinder reaches a predetermined level. This reduces the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder as oil pressure is dumped from the hydraulic cylinder via various oil passages.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: McCloskey International LimitedInventors: James Paschal McCloskey, Andrzej Krol, Marian Ando
