Paul E Luse 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).

  • Identifying and controlling different types of MROMB hardware
    Patent number: 7089358
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a process that uses a first processor is provided. The process includes the operation of blocking by the first processor of completion by a second processor of a configuration cycle. The process also includes the operation of selecting by the first processor of one procedure from a plurality of procedures that are associated with respective types of circuitry that may be used to permit the first processor to control a device. The one procedure is associated with one of the respective types of circuitry that is actually available to be used by the first processor.

  • Device resource allocation
    Patent number: 7058780
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment may include detecting an operation initiated by a first device that can result in a change of a first set of resources previously allocated to a second device. If the operation has completed at least a certain phase of the operation and the first set of resources has changed as a result of the operation, the method of this embodiment may also comprise changing, by the second device, a second set of resources previously allocated by the second device to a third device. Of course, many modifications, variations, and alternatives are possible without departing from this embodiment.

  • Device control and configuration
    Patent number: 7032055
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment may include controlling, at least in part, by a first device, whether a first signal line of a second device is coupled to a bus, and whether a second signal line of a third device is coupled to the bus. The method of this embodiment may also include, after the first and second signal lines are coupled to the bus, supplying from the first device to the second and third devices, via the first and second signal lines, one or more signals that, after being received by the second and third devices, may permit, at least in part, at least one of control and configuration by the first device of the second and third devices. Of course, many modifications, variations, and alternatives are possible without departing from this embodiment.
