  • Patent number: 12568157
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11095560
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20060230236
    Abstract: A method for precognitive fetching, involving receiving an original request, performing pre-fetching analysis using the original request to obtain a pre-fetch request, forwarding the pre-fetch request to a storage subsystem, and receiving a response to the pre-fetch request from the storage subsystem.

  • Publication number: 20060156999
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20060141990
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20060141409
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20050209858
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20050077368
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20050070241
    Abstract: 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.
