  • NVMe-MI over SMBus multi-master controller with other SMBus and I2C masters in a single FPGA chip
    Patent number: 11494329
    Abstract: A method for conducting bus arbitration in a hardware tester system comprising a single master controller and a multi-master controller comprises configuring the single master controller with arbitration logic operable to communicate on a bus in the hardware tester system using a same arbitration scheme as the multi-master controller, wherein the single master controller and the multi-master controller are connected to the bus. Further, responsive to a determination by the arbitration logic that the multi-master controller controls the bus, the method comprises withdrawing the single master controller from attempting to control the bus.

  • Transmitting data in a power line network using link quality assessment
    Patent number: 6891796
    Abstract: A method for selecting a communication path between two nodes of a powerline network using a link quality assessment algorithm which selects a communication path based on an analysis of historical data regarding the effective throughput of data transmitted between different nodes of the network. The algorithm is also used to select an appropriate gear for such communication based on an analysis of historical data regarding the unit error rates of data transmitted between the two nodes.
