  • Publication number: 20140025650
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for an abstract relational model for transforming data into consumable content. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a computing device can execute a transformation engine for transforming data into the consumable content. The computing device can be configured to generate an abstract relational model from data to analyze the data and to identify relationships within data elements or other portions of the data. The computing device also can determine a visualization model to apply to the data and to choose a world based upon the determined visualization model. The computing device can obtain rules associated with the selected or chosen world, and can apply the rules to the data to generate the output. In some embodiments, the computing device can be configured to obtain and apply feedback to the output.

  • Patent number: 8630358
    Abstract: A system-on-chip integrated circuit 2 includes a packet transmitter 28 for generating data packets to be sent via a communication circuit 34 to a packet receiver 30 containing a buffer circuit 32. A transmitter counter 36 stores a transmitter count value counting data packets sent. A receiver counter 38 stores a receiver count value tracking data packets emptied from the buffer circuit 32. A comparison circuitry 40 is used to compare the transmitter count value and the receiver count value to determine whether or not there is storage space available within the buffer circuit 30 to receive transmission of further data packets. The packet transmitter 28 operates in a transmitter clock domain that is asynchronous from a receiver clock domain in which the packet receiver operates. One of the count values is passed across this asynchronous clock boundary in order that the comparison may be performed and flow control exercised.
