  • Self Timed Memory Chip Having an Apportionable Data Bus
    Publication number: 20080028175
    Abstract: A self timed memory chip having an apportionable data bus. Access timing to an array on the memory chip is dynamically determined by circuitry on the memory chip. A ring oscillator on the memory chip has a frequency that is indicative of how fast an array on the memory chip can be accessed. The ring oscillator includes a bit line that is periodically charged and a memory element that subsequently discharges the bit line. The memory chip has a data bus interface having a number of bits. The data bus interface has a first number of bits apportioned to write data and a second number of bits apportioned to read data. The first number of bits and the second number of bits is programmable.

  • Memory Controller for Daisy Chained Self Timed Memory Chips
    Publication number: 20080028177
    Abstract: A memory controller for controlling a daisy chain of self timed memory chips. The memory controller has information as to how long each self timed memory chip in the daisy chain of memory chips takes to make a read access and a write access to an array on the self timed memory chip. The memory controller determines current access time information on a memory chip by sending a command to the memory chip. The memory chip returns a data word containing the current access time information. Alternatively, the memory controller transmits an address/command word to the memory chip and, after completing an access, transmits a responsive data word to the memory controller. The memory controller determines the access time information using the interval from transmission of the address/command word to reception of the responsive data word.

  • HEMOSTATIC DEVICE WITH OXIDIZED CELLULOSE PAD
    Publication number: 20080027365
    Abstract: In one aspect, an apparatus for promoting hemostasis includes oxidized cellulose in the form of a compressible, shapeable mass that is formed into a sheet for placement on a bleed site. In a second aspect, a sleeve for promoting hemostasis includes a tubular shell having at least one open end and oxidized cellulose material attached to an inner surface of the tubular shell. The open end of the tubular shell is dimensioned to receive a limb such that donning the sleeve causes at least a portion of the oxidized cellulose material to be placed in contact with a bleeding wound. In a third aspect, a bandage includes a substrate and oxidized cellulose material attached to a surface of the substrate. The oxidized cellulose material is arranged to contact a bleeding wound when the bandage is applied thereto.

  • CARRIER HAVING DAISY CHAIN OF SELF TIMED MEMORY CHIPS
    Publication number: 20080028160
    Abstract: A carrier having at least one self timed memory chip in a daisy chain of memory chips. A first carrier has at least a portion of a daisy chain of memory chips attached to the first carrier. An address/command bus input on the first carrier carries an address/command word to a first memory chip in the daisy chain of memory chips. If the first memory chip determines that the address/command word is not directed to the first memory chip, the first memory chip re-drives the address/command word to a second memory chip in the daisy chain of memory chips using a point to point address/command bus link. If there are no more memory chips on the first carrier, the address/command word is re-driven to an address/command bus off-carrier connector. An array on a memory chip has an access time dynamically determined by how fast the array can be accessed.

  • Computer System Having an Apportionable Data Bus
    Publication number: 20080028125
    Abstract: A memory system having a data bus coupling a memory controller and a memory. The data bus has a number of data bus bits. The data bus is programmably apportioned to a first portion dedicated to transmitting data from the memory controller to the memory and a second portion dedicated to transmitting data from the memory to the memory controller. The apportionment can be assigned by suitable connection of pins on a memory chip in the memory and the memory controller to logical values. Alternatively, the apportionment can be scanned into the memory controller and the memory at bring up time. In another alternative, the apportionment can be changed by suspending data transfer and dynamically changing the sizes of the first portion and the second portion.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD TO ALIGN REFINER PLATES DURING INSTALLATION ON A DISC
    Publication number: 20080025814
    Abstract: A bushing to assist in positioning a bolt in the bolt apertures of refining plates and disk. The bushing is a cylindrical sleeve that slides over the bolt shaft, before the bolt is inserted into the aperture. The bushing may be short relative to the length of the bolt and the aperture. The bushing fits between the bolt and aperture in the refining plate and/or disk, as the bolt engages the threads of the plate and/or disk. The bolt is centered in the aperture and the centered bolt ensures that the plate segment is properly positioned on the disk as the bolt fastens the segment to the disk.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING AND AUTOMATICALLY REDISPLAYING UNREAD INSTANT MESSAGES
    Publication number: 20080028026
    Abstract: A method and system for redisplaying or re-presenting an instant message. An instant message is received at a client and stored in a repository. The instant message is displayed in a first window which is provided by the client, and which is viewable by a user of the client. Alternatively, the message is converted to another format (e.g., speech) capable of being comprehended by the user via a non-visual sense, and presented to the user. The message is identified as being unread (or not comprehended) by the user based on pre-defined criteria. Detection of a pre-defined action prompts a search of the repository for any message identified as unread (or not comprehended). The message is located in the repository based on the search. Automatically, the message is redisplayed in a second window viewable by the user, or the message is re-presented to the user.
