Martin Massucci has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Integrated circuit capable of mapping logical block address data across multiple domains
    Publication number: 20060064568
    Abstract: A method according to one embodiment may include discovering at least one data block comprising logical block address information. The method may also include mapping logical block address information from a first domain into a second domain. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

  • Symmetric multiprocessing system with unified environment and distributed system functions wherein bus operations related storage spaces are mapped into a single system address space
    Patent number: 6125436
    Abstract: A symmetric multiprocessing system with a unified environment and distributed system functions provides unified address space for all functional units in the system while distributing the execution of various system functions over the functional units of the system whereby each functional unit assumes responsibility for its own aspects of these operations. In addition, the system provides improved system bus operation for transfer of data from memory.

  • Adaptively generating timing signals for access to various memory devices based on stored profiles
    Patent number: 5809340
    Abstract: Timing calculator means in a computer system are used to adaptively generate an appropriate access signal, to one of a plurality of memory types, based on first and second timing control values, wherein the first timing control value represents information specific to and limited to the start of a memory operation and wherein the second timing control value represents information representing other timing events. That is, the state machine of the present invention requires a distinct starting control value, separate from other timing values, for calculation of appropriate memory access parameters.
