  • Patent number: 11520722
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques for transferring non-power of two (2) bytes of data between modules of an integrated circuit over an on-chip communication fabric. In one embodiment, the present disclosure includes an on-chip communication fabric, a first module comprising an interface coupled to the fabric having a first data width, and a second module comprising an interface coupled to the fabric having a second data width smaller than the first data width. The non-power of two (2) bytes of data are sent between the first and second modules through the fabric, and the fabric maps the non-power of two (2) bytes of data between the first and second data widths.

  • Patent number: 11225046
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system and a method for manufacturing a gypsum board can be used to produce a gypsum board having at least one perforated cover sheet via a cover sheet perforator system. The cover sheet perforator system can include a perforator roller is disposed downstream of a forming station along a machine direction, a roller support frame for rotatably supporting the perforator roller such that its rotational axis extends along the cross-machine direction, and a motor arranged with the perforator roller to rotate the perforator roller about the rotational axis. The drive motor can be adapted to rotate the perforator roller with a tangential speed substantially equal to the line speed to produce a series of perforation holes in an upwardly-facing cover sheet as the gypsum board moves past the perforator roller.

  • Publication number: 20110276499
    Abstract: An system and method for collecting property data from 3rd party resources and determining based on the property data, whether a subject property is over or under assessed by a county tax assessor. A report is generated which includes arguments and evidence for use in appealing the assessment, based on comparable sales, comparable assessments, and answers to questions relating to a subject property.

  • Patent number: 7234000
    Abstract: A router is disclosed for use in a network to carry data packets therein. Each router provides a hop along a path through the network extending from a source network address node to a destination network address node. Each route for routing data packets contains a destination network address to a next successive hop along a path between the source network address and the destination network address. Each router has a central routing processor in communication with its forwarders over a control medium to provide routing tables to each forwarder defining the next hop for forwarding received data packets for each destination address. Routing table updates of the forwarders by the central routing processor are sequentially downloaded to all forwarders simultaneously from the central routing processor, using a negative acknowledgement protocol. The central routing processor selectively responds to a negative acknowledgement message from a forwarder to re-transmit routing table updates.
