Steven R. Magee 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).

  • Patent number: 6801922
    Abstract: Variable sample rate converter by convolution of input data samples with an impulse response to produce output samples with the impulse response values generated by interpolation from a table of oversampled values with the oversampling rate lower for outlying lobes of the impulse response.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 4, 2001
    Date of Patent: October 5, 2004
    Assignee: Texas Instruments Incorporated
    Inventors: Cynthia P. Goszewski, Steven R. Magee
  • Patent number: 6598007
    Abstract: Asynchronous position pulses drive an interrupt to store pulse times via direct memory access; then synchronous sampling and analysis of the stored position pulse timings provides rate detection useful for feedback as useful in motor control.

  • Patent number: 6179489
    Abstract: A process is provided for operating a computer system (100) having a storage holding an operating system (OS) and an application program (APP.exe) and a third program (VSP Kernel), a first processor (106) having an instruction set, and a second processor (1730) having a different instruction set. The process includes a first step of running the first processor (106) to determine whether a part of the application shall be run on the first processor or the second processor and then establishing a second processor object (VSP OBJECT1) if said part shall be run on the second processor and the first processor (106) sending a message that the second processor (1730) is to run said at least part of the application program. The third program establishes message handling functions and bus masters data transfer operations for the second processor between the host running the operating system and the second processor running the third program.

  • Patent number: 6105119
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (1720) includes a dual-port memory (3330.1) having a first memory port (Port A) and a second memory port (Port B), a bus interface block (5010) including bus master (5016) and bus slave circuitry (5018), and a byte-channeling block (5310) coupled between the first memory port (Port A) and the bus interface block (5010) operable to convert non-aligned data addresses into aligned data. Advantageously, this invention includes a single bus master serving all application hardware. This relieves the host of the extra burden of communicating to slave circuits, reducing host I/O MIPS significantly. The digital signal processor with an ASIC wrapper of this invention together provide super-bus-mastering to access the entire memory space in the system, including the entire virtual memory space accessible by the host processor. Other processes, systems, devices and methods are also disclosed.
