  • Patent number: 10409751
    Abstract: A method and information handling system including a first universal serial bus (USB) type C port for transceiving SMBus data multiplexed over unused USB-2 pins from a host information handling system, a first multiplexer for demultiplexing the SMBus as a designated data bus to a second multiplexer to create a designated bus for management controller transport protocol data, the second multiplexer re-multiplexing the SMBus designated bus to a second USB type C port for connection with an out-of-band management hardware system network interface card of a device connected to the second USB type C port for communication of management controller transport protocol data with the information handling system host and bypassing a docking station high capacity connector multiplex controller, and an embedded controller for activating the first multiplexer and the second multiplexer upon detecting the connection with the out-of-band management hardware system network interface card via the second USB type C port and est

  • Patent number: 4484303
    Abstract: An improved programmable controller having the ability to use two different data bases while presenting to the outside world a uniform word size. The programmable controller includes pipeline processing and hardware solution of a user control program in a network node format. A memory management scheme is provided allowing for the direct addressability of one-half million words by utilization of a page register. The programmable controller can be incorporated into a network containing other programmable controllers. The programmable controller also incorporates a multi-task interrupt so that the processor can handle more than one job at any particular time. Input/output tasks are handled logically in the scan solving the user networks rather than being based upon a particular physical area of the controller memory.
