Abstract: A transmission driver for serial communication includes first multiplexing circuitry configured to partially serialize a data group into data subgroups based on an in-phase clock, and to delay a quadrature clock corresponding to the in-phase clock. The delay is based on latency of the partial serialization. The transmission driver also includes second multiplexing circuitry having a source-series terminated (SST) driver configured to serialize the data subgroups into a serial data stream based on the delayed quadrature clock. The first multiplexing circuitry may be configured to partially serialize the data group into the data subgroups by arranging a four-bit data group into a pair of two-bit data groups, and the second multiplexing circuitry may be configured to serialize the data subgroups into the serial data stream by arranging the pair of two-bit data groups into the serial data stream.

Abstract: The system described herein implements synchronized playback of data related to an event. The system receives information that defines a type of event, as well as a time at which the event occurs. Moreover, the information defines an environment in which the event occurs. The system maps the type of event to data sources associated with the environment. Furthermore, the system maps the time at which the event occurs to a predefined timeframe that precedes and/or overlaps with the time at which the event occurs. The system retrieves respective datasets from the data sources and generates respective visualizations for the datasets. The system displays the visualizations in a layout and provides user controls that enable a user to implement synchronized playback of the event from the perspective of the data sources. For example, the synchronized playback can cycle through a sequence of data display states for the datasets.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for the numerical simulation of a heat exchanger with a numerical model comprising a plurality of elemental volumes such that they all correspond to the same configuration such that the joint of all the elemental volumes reproduces the volume in which heat transfer occurs between a hot fluid and a cold fluid. The simulation method establishes an iterative method on the set of elemental volumes in such a way that the relevant variables of each volume are updated using the data provided by the interpolation module without the need to run a classical simulation on the flow. The result is the assessment of the variables of interest in the entire volume of the heat exchanger for predetermined operating conditions.
