  • Patent number: 11966351
    Abstract: A network interface device comprises a streaming data processing path comprising a first data processing engine and hubs. A first scheduler associated with a first hub controls an output of data by the first hub to the first data processing engine and a second scheduler associated with a second hub controls an output of data by the second hub. The first hub is arranged upstream of the first data processing engine on the data processing path and is configured to receive data from a first upstream data path entity and from a first data processing entity implemented in programmable circuitry via a data ingress interface of the first hub. The first data processing engine is configured to receive data from the first hub, process the received data and output the processed data to the second hub arranged downstream of first data processing engine.

  • Patent number: 11960596
    Abstract: A network interface device comprises a first area of trust comprising a first part of the network interface device, the first part comprising one or more first kernels. A second area of trust comprising a second part of the network interface device different to said first part is provided, the second part comprising one or more second kernels. A communication link is provided between the first area of trust and the second area of trust. At least one of the first and second areas of trust is provided with isolation circuitry configured to control which data which is passed to the other of the first and second areas via the communication link.

  • Patent number: 8371397
    Abstract: A cartridge feed screw nut includes a body having a tubular threaded opening defined therein and having side portions. The side portions include a plurality of lateral surfaces and a plurality of end surfaces. The lateral surfaces and the end surfaces form a profile shaped to prevent rotation of the cartridge feed screw nut relative to a front washer cylinder through engagement between at least one of the lateral surfaces or the end surfaces with the front washer cylinder.

  • Patent number: 7845464
    Abstract: Noise-abatement devices are provided for a pneumatic tool that can include a housing having a first end and a second end. An expansion chamber is defined within the expansion chamber. At least one tube is located at least partially within the expansion chamber in which the tube has at least a perforated portion, and an outlet defined therein. The device also includes a port outlet in fluid communication with the expansion chamber in which the port outlet and the outlet are located near the second end of the housing.
