Publication number: 20150178500Abstract: A disclosed example method involves configuring a processor to, when transitioning the processor system to a low-power mode, use a key and a random or pseudo-random value to generate a first signature based on a sample of memory regions to be protected during the low-power mode, the memory regions based on a manufacturer required regions table and a third-party required regions table. The disclosed example method also involves configuring a processor to, during a resume process of the processor system from the low-power mode, generate a second signature based on the sample of the memory regions protected during the low-power mode. The disclosed example method also involves configuring a processor to, when the first signature matches the second signature, cause the processor system to resume from the low-power mode, and when the first signature does not match the second signature, generate an error.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2015Publication date: June 25, 2015Inventors: Adrian R. Pearson, Christopher Andrew Thornburg, Steven J. Brown, Peter R. Munguia

Patent number: 8978135Abstract: A disclosed example method involves when transitioning a processor system to a low-power mode, generating at least a first signature based on a data structure storing memory addresses of memory regions to be protected during the low-power mode. During a resume process of the processor system from the low-power mode, at least a second signature is generated based on the data structure storing the memory addresses of the memory regions to be protected during the low-power mode. When the first signature matches the second signature, the processor system resumes from the low-power mode. When the first signature does not match the second signature, an error is generated.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Adrian R. Pearson, Christopher Andrew Thornburg, Steven J. Brown, Peter R. Munguia

Cooling tube mechanism operation in a post-manufacture glass container thermal strengthening station
Patent number: 8893528Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing strengthened glass containers, and more particularly the construction and operation of a cooling tube mechanism in an apparatus for thermally strengthening glass containers in a glass container manufacturing line at a location intermediate the hot end and the cold end. Glass containers formed at an I. S. machine are conveyed through a special tempering Lehr that heats them uniformly to a high temperature that is short of temperatures at which they may become deformed. Subsequently, the glass containers are rapidly thermally strengthened in a cooling station in which the outer and inner surfaces including all areas of the glass containers are simultaneously cooled to a temperature below the Strain Point of the glass used in the glass containers, with the cooling tube mechanism being used to cool the inner surfaces of the glass containers.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2011Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Emhart Glass S.A.Inventors: Timothy A. Ringuette, Steven J. Brown, Kenneth L. Bratton -
