  • Publication number: 20230298640
    Abstract: Systems and methods for resolving data (DQ) line swapping configuration in Double Data Rate (DDR) memories are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a system may include a memory controller and a memory coupled to the memory controller, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the system to: apply a first technique to resolve DQ line swapping between a memory interface and a memory module with respect to a first subset of a plurality of DQ lines; apply a second technique different than the first technique to resolve DQ line swapping with respect to a second subset of the plurality of DQ lines; and apply a third technique different than the first and the second techniques to resolve DQ line swapping with respect to a third subset of the plurality of DQ lines.

  • Patent number: 11587748
    Abstract: A high-voltage power switch, preferably with a dead tank design, contains: a switching unit that has a switching device and an actuation element that is axially movable in relation to a longitudinal axis of the switching device to actuate the switching device and a closing resistor unit that has a closing resistor arrangement and an adjusting element that is axially movable in relation to a longitudinal axis of this closing resistor arrangement to actuate the closing resistor arrangement. The actuation element is coupled to the adjusting element in order to move the latter. Accordingly, the longitudinal axis of the switching unit and the longitudinal axis of the closing resistor unit are spaced apart, and the actuation and adjusting elements are coupled by a coupling device of the high-voltage power switch.

  • Patent number: 10199189
    Abstract: A switchgear includes an interrupter unit. The interrupter unit is provided with first and second switching contact pieces that are movable relative to one another. A switching-gas duct that runs through the interrupter unit originates at an arc gap in which an electric arc can burn. The duct connects the arc gap to the surroundings of the interrupter unit. At least some sections of the switching-gas duct are delimited by mutually encompassing elements similar to an annular duct. One of the elements is a first member which is braced at the end similar to a pipe joint and which has a free end that projects in the direction of the arc gap.
