Patent number: 7227876Abstract: A desired FIFO buffer fill level is continuously derived during mapping or demapping of plesiosynchronous data signals into synchronized data signals, or vice-versa. One of j predefined integer values Ii is repetitively consecutively produced during each consecutive one of j FIFO buffer write clock cycles, where i=1, . . . , j and where j and the integer values Ii are selected such that ? i = 1 j ? ? I i j closely approximates the number of bits read from the FIFO buffer per FIFO buffer write clock cycle. During each kth consecutive FIFO buffer write clock cycle, a Bits_Read value Ik+Ik-1 is produced where k=1, . . . , p; a Bits_Written value is produced; a Gap_Pattern value is derived by subtracting the Bits_Read value from the Bits_Written value; and, the Gap_Pattern is added to a predefined value representative a FIFO buffer center fill level to produce the desired FIFO buffer fill level.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2002Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: PMC-Sierra, Inc.Inventors: Alexander John Cochran, Patrick Neil Bailey, Larrie S.

Publication number: 20070113369Abstract: A tool set with a battery pack, a power tool and a utility vacuum. The power tool includes a receptacle assembly for detachably coupling the battery pack to the power tool. The utility vacuum has a canister, a powerhead assembly, which is coupled to the canister and has a fan, a motor for providing rotary power to the fan, and a power supply for distributing electrical power to the motor, and a shut-off device that prevents the fan from drawing a liquid into the fan inlet when a volume of the liquid in the canister exceeds a predetermined volume. The power supply includes a receptacle assembly for detachably receiving the battery pack. The battery pack may be selectively coupled to either of the power tool and the utility vacuum to provide a source of electrical power thereto. A method for operating a battery-powered tool set is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2007Publication date: May 24, 2007Inventors: John Cochran, Jason Goger, Daniel Lopano, Christine Potter, James Watson

Publication number: 20060207082Abstract: A tool and method for winding and forming a field coil for field assembly, such as a stator, includes separable tool halves defining a winding cavity therebetween. The winding cavity receives magnet wire that is wound therein, such as by rotating the tool or a winding nozzle. The magnet wire generally conforms to the shape of the winding cavity such that when the tool halves are separated, a field coil having a net shape is produced. Once the magnet wire is sufficiently deposited within the winding cavity, wires of the coil may be bonded together either through a resistive heating process such as by passing an electrical current through the coil or through other heating or chemical bonding methods to thereby maintain the net shape of the field coil once it is removed from the tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2006Publication date: September 21, 2006Inventors: Earl Ortt, David Abbott, John Cochran, Garrett McCormick
