  • Method and apparatus for combined framing and packet delineation
    Patent number: 7327732
    Abstract: Incoming bit stream is processed by a single state machine into a circular buffer. Circular buffer accumulates subunits of data to form a major data unit. State machine recognizes the start of major data unit and flags the location of the major data unit in the circular buffer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2002
    Date of Patent: February 5, 2008
    Assignee: Mindspeed Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Mark J Erlenborn, Jeff R. Gemar, George Harper, Kewei Yang, Welborn R Malpass, Sam L Spencer, Keith A Kind
  • Method and apparatus for optical probing of integrated circuit operation
    Patent number: 7049632
    Abstract: Optical transducers disposed on an integrated circuit correspond to test points thereon. The state of optical transducers perceived by an optical sensor is correlated to test points. Alignment of the optical sensor relative to the optical transducers is accomplished electronically or mechanically.
    Type: Grant
