  • Memory controller with ring bus for interconnecting memory clients to memory devices
    Patent number: 7849256
    Abstract: Embodiments of a distributed memory controller system implemented on a single integrated circuit device are described. In one embodiment, a memory controller that provides an interconnection circuit between a first plurality of memory devices to a second plurality of memory clients includes a ring bus to route at least one of the memory request and data return signals between the memory clients and the memory devices. The ring bus is configured in a ring topography that is distributed across a portion of an integrated circuit device, resulting in a reduction in the maximum wiring density at the center of memory controller. The ring bus structure also reduces the overall number of interconnections as well as the number of storage elements, thus reducing the total area used by the memory controller.

    Publication number: 20100297345
    Abstract: A method for repairing a component such as a turbine blade is provided. At the end of its operating time, the component has, for example, a depletion of aluminium in a region near the surface. The application of a repair layer is provided including particles with an increased proportion of aluminium. A subsequent heat treatment may achieve the effect of equalizing the concentration of aluminium between the repair layer and the region near the surface, and so the aluminium content required for new components is achieved again.

  • METHOD FOR THE OPERATION OF A WIND POWER PLANT
    Publication number: 20100289266
    Abstract: A method for the operation of a wind power plant (W), wherein the wind power plant (W) has a tower (T) and a rotor with at least two rotor blades (RB1, RB2, RB3) connected with the tower, wherein each rotor blade (RB1, RB2, RB3) can be adjusted or is adjusted respectively around a rotor blade axis (RA1, RA2, RA3) with a predetermined rotor blade adjustment angle (GPW) and the rotor blades (RB1, RB2, RB3) are driven in a rotating manner by external wind movements around a rotor axis pro-vided transverse to the rotor blade axes (RA1, RA2, RA3). The rotor blade adjustment angle (GPW) for each rotor blade (RB1, RB2, RB3) is changed independently and/or individually depending on the lateral oscillations of the tower such that the amplitude of the lateral oscillations of the tower (T), induced in particular through the exterior wind movements, is damped.

  • Adaptive place-pitch ranking within a multi-channel neural stimulator
    Patent number: 7835800
    Abstract: An adaptive place-pitch ranking procedure for use with a cochlear implant or other neural stimulation system provides a systematic method for quantifying the magnitude and direction of errors along the place-pitch continuum. The method may be conducted and completed in a relatively short period of time. In use, the implant user or listener is asked to rank the percepts obtained after a sequential presentation of monopolar stimulation pulses are applied to a selected spatially-defined electrode pair. The spatially-defined electrode pair may be a physical electrode pair or a virtual electrode pair. A virtual electrode pair includes at least one virtual electrode contact. Should the patient's judgment of pitch order be correct for all applied interrogations, then no further testing involving the tested electrode pair (two electrode contacts) is undertaken.

  • DISTRIBUTED LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER
    Publication number: 20100283546
    Abstract: A distributed low noise amplifier (DLNA) comprises at least a first amplifier part 30.1 providing a first path 36.1 form an input of the amplifier to an output of the amplifier and a second amplifier part 30.2 providing a second path 36.2 from the input to the output. Each of the first and second paths being associated with a respective and different change in phase. The difference being larger than degrees in a noise suppression band to cause a phase difference between noise generated by the amplifier arrangement propagating along the first and second paths and destructive interference of the noise before the output of the DLNA, thereby to suppress noise in the noise suppression band. The respective gains of the amplifier parts 30.1 to 30.n may decrease in a direction from the input of the amplifier to the output thereof.

  • Open press thermal gap for QPF forming tools
    Patent number: 7823430
    Abstract: A quick plastic forming (QPF) tool is provided in which a thermal gap is created that reduces or eliminates some of the conductive heat loss paths when the QPF tool is in an open position during part removal or sheet loading. By reducing conductive heat loss, a more precise temperature control for the QPF tool from manufacturing cycle to manufacturing cycle may be realized. The QPF tool may also have a thermal gap when the tool is placed in a semi-open position during idle times. The QPF tool may also include components for creating the thermal gap when the QPF tool is moved to the open position and control the lateral movement of the part forming section of the QPF tool as the part is moved between the open position and the closed position.
