Paul Scrobohaci 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).

  • Patent number: 9128769
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor comprises a plurality of hardware resources, each hardware resource having a clock cycle. The processor also comprises a plurality of work stores, each work store assigned into one of a plurality of virtual functions if a mode of the processor is set to a virtual function mode, and each work store assigned into one physical function if the mode of the processor is set to a physical function mode. The processor further comprises dispatch logic configured to dispatch work from any work store corresponding to any virtual function or physical function to any released hardware resources.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 13, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 8, 2015
    Assignee: Cavium, Inc.
    Inventors: Jeffrey Schroeder, Jeff Pangborn, Najeeb Ansari, Bryan Chin, Leo Chen, Ahmed Shahid, Paul Scrobohaci, Chee Hu, Michael Carns, Wu Ye, Brian Hunter

  • Publication number: 20120212064
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems for controlling a photovoltaic panel, to output three-phase power while ensuring the power source operates safely include determining a temperature of the photovoltaic panel, determining a voltage provided from the photovoltaic panel, determining a parameter based on the voltage and the temperature and controlling a DC to three-phase power converter based on the determined parameter. The three-phase power converter may be a pulse amplitude modulated current converter (PAMCC), configured to output first, second and third pulse amplitude modulated current pulse from three terminals controlled in timing and phase so that when respective outputs of multiple PAMCCs are connected, each phase of the plurality of PAMCCs is demodulated to produce a three-phase alternating current output. The PAMCC may be controlled through tables of pulse durations based on the determined parameter. The voltage output may be controlled through a fast control loop and through a slower control loop.
