Patent number: 11809906Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for controlling bandwidth through shared transaction limits are described. An apparatus includes at least a plurality of agents, a plurality of transaction-limit (T-Limit) nodes, a T-Limit manager, and one or more endpoints. The T-Limit manager creates a plurality of credits for the plurality of agents to send transactions to a given endpoint. Then, the T-Limit manager partitions the credits into N+1 portions for N agents, wherein the extra N+1 portion is a shared pool for use by agents when they run out of their private credits. The T-Limit manager assigns a separate private portion of the N portions to the N agents for use by only the corresponding agent. When an agent runs out of private credits, the agent's T-Limit node sends a request to the T-Limit manager for credits from the shared pool.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Nachiappan Chidambaram Nachiappan, Matthew R.

Patent number: 11226752Abstract: Systems, methods and mechanisms for efficiently calibrating memory signals. In various embodiments, a computing system includes at least one processor, a memory and a power manager. The power manager generates and sends updated power-performance states (p-states) to the processor and the memory. Logic within a memory controller for the memory initializes a first timer corresponding to a first p-state of the multiple p-states to indicate a duration for skipping memory calibration. The logic continues to update the first timer while transferring data with the memory using operating parameters of the first p-state. When the memory is not using operating parameters of the first p-state, the logic prevents updates of the first timer. When the power manager determines to transition the memory from the first p-state to a second p-state, and the second timer for the second e-state has not expired, the logic prevents calibration of the memory.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Rakesh L. Notani, Robert E. Jeter, Suhas Kumar Suvarna Ramesh, Naveen Kumar Korada, Mohammad Rizwan, Alma L. Juarez Dominguez, John H. Kelm, Matthew R. Johnson

Publication number: 20150087438Abstract: The invention provides methods of making a component for a golf club by shaping a workpiece by a first process and also shaping the workpiece by a second process that includes electrical discharge machining. A first process such as forging or casting can shape the gross morphology of the workpiece and material can be removed by the second process to form desired features or textures. In certain aspects, the invention provides a golf club head with a club head body having a face, a sole, a toe, a heel, and a hosel extending upwards from a heel-side of the club head body when the club head is at address. A part of the club head body is formed by the first process, with material having been removed from the part by the second process.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2013Publication date: March 26, 2015Applicant: COBRA GOLF INCORPORATEDInventors: Matthew R.

Patent number: 5588825Abstract: A lean premixed fuel burner includes a peripheral ring stabilizer which divides the flow into a primary gas flow and a secondary gas flow and generates a secondary flame substantially surrounding the main flame formed by the main gas flow. Further stabilizers are provided in the area of the primary gas flow on the inside of the peripheral stabilizer. These stabilizers divide the main gas flow into a plurality of subsidiary flows whereby the primary flame is formed by a plurality of discrete flame formed in the spaces between the secondary stabilizers thereby to provide a main flame significantly shorter in the direction of gas flow than if a single primary flame is used.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1995Date of Patent: December 31, 1996Assignee: Governers of the University of AlbertaInventors: Larry W. Kostiuk, Matthew R. Johnson
