Patent number: 12568157Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface device that includes circuitry to decide packet format of a packet including data to be transmitted based on network utilized to transmit the packet and circuitry to form the packet based on the decided packet format. In some examples, the network utilized to transmit the packet is based on an egress port of the packet. In some examples, the network utilized to transmit the packet comprises one or more of: direct interconnect, small scale-up network, or large scale-out network. In some examples, to decide packet format, the circuitry is to form the packet byte by byte to reduce overhead caused by preamble and number of header fields.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 3, 2026Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Bruce G. Warren, Robert Zak, Mark Debbage, Todd Rimmer

Patent number: 11095560Abstract: Technologies for Ethernet gateway congestion management in HPC architectures include a high-performance computing (HPC) switch with an Ethernet gateway that is configured to receive an HPC packet from an HPC fabric via a virtual lane (VL) of the Ethernet gateway. The Ethernet gateway is further configured to determine whether the HPC packet corresponds to a backward error correction notification (BECN), identify one or more priority code points (PCPs) of the HPC packet corresponding to a BECN as a function of the VL on which the HPC packet was received, and generate an Ethernet priority-based flow control (PFC) frame that includes the one or more identified PCPs in a header of the Ethernet PFC frame. Additionally, the Ethernet gateway is configured to transmit the Ethernet PFC frame to an Ethernet fabric as a function of the one or more identified PCPs. Other embodiments are described herein.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2017Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Gary Muntz, Robert Zak, Thomas Lovett, Michael A. Parker

Publication number: 20060156999Abstract: A reciprocating internal combustion engine is based on Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) that occurs in a deformable, resonant combustion chamber and that is coupled mechanically to efficient, resonant, electro-mechanical transducers acting as motors and generators. The mechanical coupling also implements fuel/air intake valves and exhaust valves. Embedded sensors allow an electronic control system to start the engine and thereafter to maintain operational configuration of the moving components in response to the effects of imperfect mechanical fabrication and/or assembly and dynamic changes in mechanical properties of the materials with run-time temperature and engine life.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2005Publication date: July 20, 2006Applicant: AgilePower Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jon Wade, Robert Zak

Publication number: 20060141990Abstract: A method of predicting user input to a mobile terminal is presented. The mobile terminal creates a raw user input data record comprised of input to the mobile terminal. A contextual data record is appended to the raw user input data record and both are stored. Another process processes the records contained in the raw user input database to identify repetitive patterns of user input. Identified patterns are stored in a recognized input pattern database. The mobile terminal then monitors current input and compares it to the repetitive patterns stored in the recognized input pattern database. Upon matching the current input to a repetitive pattern within a specified tolerance, the mobile terminal prompts the user to allow the mobile terminal to complete the process of inputting the data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2005Publication date: June 29, 2006Applicant: SONY ERICSSON MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS ABInventors: Robert Zak, Peter Mangum, Michael Welch, Paul Nichols, Myra Rice

Publication number: 20060141409Abstract: A method of verifying proper operation of an electromagnetic valve. The method includes providing a mechanism to effect opening of the valve, verifying that the valve opened as a result of employing the mechanism to effect opening of the valve and after verifying the valve opened, signaling the valve to close after a first period of time has elapsed. The method further includes, after signaling the valve to close, signaling the valve to re-open after a second period of time has elapsed and detecting the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event associated with the closing or re-opening of the valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2004Publication date: June 29, 2006Applicant: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Brent Chian, Donald Kasprzyk, Sybrandus Munsterhuis, Timothy Nordberg, Willem Werf, Robert Zak, Andres Waszczenko

Publication number: 20050209858Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a transceiver to communicate in a push-to-talk mode, and a speech processor having a voice recognition engine. The speech processor detects and processes speech signals input by a user and recognizes predetermined voice commands uttered by the user. The transceiver may be controlled to transmit the speech signals in the push-to-talk mode responsive to the detection of the predetermined voice commands.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2004Publication date: September 22, 2005Inventor: Robert Zak

Publication number: 20050077368Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a health status of a water heating device is disclosed. The water heating device may have a controller that incorporates logic to regulate the heater responsive to water temperatures detected at different areas within the water heating device by first and second sensors. Unfortunately, the first and second sensors may fail. To detect fault conditions or otherwise determine the heath status of the water heating device, a logic unit in the controller may perform a test on the first and/or second sensors so as to provide a test output. The logic unit may also determine whether the test output satisfies one or more predetermined thresholds. These predetermined thresholds may be indicative of a properly-functioning sensor. When the test output does not satisfy the at least one predetermined threshold, the logic unit may then set a fault condition indicative of improperly functioning sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2004Publication date: April 14, 2005Applicant: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Robert Zak, Douglas Bird, Brent Chian

Publication number: 20050070241Abstract: A mobile communications device has a wireless transceiver to facilitate communications, memory, and a processor. The processor may be configured to analyze an audio file stored in the memory, and extract or generate synchronizing information from the audio file. The processor synchronizes one or more complementary multi-media effects, such as lights, a camera, or a tactile feedback generator, with the audio file based on the synchronizing information. Alternatively, a user may input synchronizing information about the audio file via an interface on the communications device. The processor may then control the complementary multi-media effects in synchronization with the input synchronizing information.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2003Publication date: March 31, 2005Inventors: John Northcutt, Charles Yates, Robert Zak
