Patent number: 9367456Abstract: An integrated circuit including a cache and first and second modules. The cache is folded a predetermined number of times. The cache includes arrays and storage elements. Each of the arrays includes respective ones of the storage elements. The arrays store a cache line. The cache line includes segments of data. The segments of data are stored in two or more of the arrays. Each of the segments of data is stored in a corresponding one of the storage elements. The first module receives a first identifier of one of the segments of data and a second identifier of a set of the storage elements. The first module determines an index based on the first and second identifiers. The second module, based on the index, accesses one of the segments of data from the two or more of the arrays and outputs the one of the segments of data.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2014Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Marvell International Ltd.Inventors: Kim Schuttenberg, Richard Bryant

Publication number: 20030035941Abstract: A foamed rubber having a plurality of microvoids comprising mticrospheres incorporated therein characterized in that the microspheres are expanded during heating and vulcanization of the rubber and the volume fraction of the expanded microspheres is 35-80 % in the foamed rubber. The microspheres may be thermoplastic microspheres filled with a volatile liquid. The microspheres may have an unexpanded diameter of 5 to 10 &mgr;m and an expanded di ameter of between 300 &mgr;m and 1000 &mgr;m. Also disclosed is a method of manufacture of a rubber comprising the steps of. providing a rubber; incorporating additives; adding and mixing microspheres into the rubber composition; and heating the rubber to effect vulcanization. The vulcanization of the rubber may be delayed to allow for expansion of expandable microspheres during heating, such a delay may be achieved by adding a delayed action accelerator or a retarder to the rubber.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2002Publication date: February 20, 2003Inventors: Martin P Burke, Richard Bryant

Patent number: 6496574Abstract: A reset device resets an electronic device by monitoring a telephone line. The reset device detects a first ring signal transmitted via the telephone line and starts a timer. The ring signals transmitted via the telephone line are counted and compared to a preselected number. When the number of ring signals counted by the reset device is equal to the preselected number, a signal is transmitted to the electronic device causing it to reset.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2001Date of Patent: December 17, 2002Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventor: James Richard Bryant, II

Publication number: 20020184736Abstract: A door opening apparatus comprises an elongated rod joined pivotally, at one end to a U-shaped bracket, which, in turn, is joined pivotally to a mounting plate fixed to the surface of a door. The elongated rod normally hangs downwardly when not in use, but through its enablement for arcuate swivel movement within a U-shaped bracket, the rod may be pivoted over a 180 angular degrees of motion and rotated over a 360 angular degrees of motion. This permits the rod to be used to pull the door open and to one side of a wheel chair bound individual to facilitate moving through the doorway.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2001Publication date: December 12, 2002Inventor: Richard Bryant Nelson
