Patents by Inventor Soha M. N. Hassoun

Soha M. N. Hassoun has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Circuit having hardware threading
    Patent number: 7797647
    Abstract: Hardware threading optimizes use of hardware resources in a dynamic workload environment. Unutilized hardware resources are dynamically borrowed to increase throughput performance and/or power savings by enabling parallel processing of application pipeline stages.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 2, 2004
    Date of Patent: September 14, 2010
    Assignee: Tufts University
    Inventors: Soha M. N. Hassoun, Brian G. Swahn
  • Non-synchronized multiplex data transport across synchronous systems
    Patent number: 6961691
    Abstract: A method allows two substantially asynchronous system components of a logic emulation system to exchange data packets with reference to a clock signal of predetermined frequency. In one example, each bit is transmitted across the system components over two or more cycles of the clock signal. The reference clock signal can be distributed to the two system components from a common clock signal generator, or can be generated locally independently.

  • Method and apparatus for parity generation
    Patent number: 5557622
    Abstract: A parity generator for multibit binary data in which only a subset of bits change at one time includes a circuit for determining whether the number of bits in the subset to be changed is odd or even. A toggle signal generator generates a toggle signal only if the number of bits to be changed is odd. A toggling circuit selectively changes the level of the parity bit in response to the toggle signal.
