  • Patent number: 10635149
    Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein refer to systems, methods, and circuits for conforming to power up sequencing rules of a conventional hard-wired data connection even though the hard-wired data connection that would ordinarily exist between two data controllers has been replaced with one or more contactless connectors. A consequence of replacing the hard-wired connection with a contactless connector is that the data controllers no longer directly control the power sequencing between the controllers because they are not able to directly communicate with each other over the hard-wired data connections. Power sequence assist circuitry may be used to assists the data controllers in establishing a link in accordance with the power sequencing rules of a particular wired interface despite the intentionally broken hard-wired data connection between the two controllers by instructing the contactless connectors to communicate with their respective data controllers in compliance with the power sequencing rules.

  • Patent number: 10592461
    Abstract: EHF communication systems described herein can selectively implement any one of the USB standards by mapping appropriate USB signal conditions over an EHF contactless communication link. The EHF contactless communication link may serve as an alternative to conventional board-to-board and device-to-device connectors, and as such enables wired connection USB signaling protocols to be used in a non-wired environment provided by the EHF contactless communications link. Use of a USB protocol over the EHF communications link can be accomplished by establishing the EHF link between counterpart EHF communication units, and then by establishing the appropriate USB protocol over the link.

  • Patent number: 5673279
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for verifying a network transporter under test which is able to perform the test and produce test results by posting test packets through network transporter without requiring large amounts of memory and producing results in a short period of time. The present invention utilizes one or more FIFO (First In First Out) buffers in which plurality of components of each packet is stored just as each packet is posted to the network transporter under test. As soon as the corresponding packet is received on the other side of the network transporter, plurality of components and the receive packet are compared and a test result is produced. As soon as such comparison is performed and completed and the test results are produced, the corresponding plurality of components stored in the FIFO is discarded and the corresponding memory space used is freed up for the next packet's test information.
