Abstract:

A system having a plurality of printed circuit broads each one having an electrical component thereon. A backplane carries a signal indicative of a performance characteristic of the electrical components on the plurality of printed circuit boards plugged into such backplane. The performance characteristic may be, for example component speed, operating protocol, etc. System start-up is interrupted upon detection of such incompatibility. After start up, upon plugging an additional printed circuit broad having an electrical component thereon with an operating incompatible with the electrical components on the plurality of printed circuit boards into the backplane, the electrical component on such additional printed circuit will not be electrically coupled to the electrical component on the additional printed circuit board from the electrical components of the plurality of printed circuit boards.

International Classification:

H04L 1/00

US Classification:

714746, 714758, 714807, 714819

Abstract:

An error checking system includes an input device for receiving a data element including parity information; a parity check device for checking the parity information of the data element to determine whether the data element is valid; a CRC generator coupled to the parity check device for generating a CRC for the data element; and an output device for transmitting the data element with the parity information and CRC to a downstream device over a transmission link. The parity check device is operative to output a corruption signal to the CRC generator if the parity check device determines that the data element is invalid, to instruct the CRC generator to corrupt the CRC generation for that data element.

International Classification:

A01K029/00

US Classification:

119174000

Abstract:

An apparatus and method of reminding a person that routine pet care has been completed or need needs to be completed. More particularly the invention relates to a manner in which to provide a reminder to someone that pet care has been accomplished or needs to be accomplished more effectively and efficiently than in the past. The apparatus includes among its essential elements a slender display board having a front face and a rear face; a display graphic being permanently affixed to at least the front face of the display board; a hanger being at least attached to the rear face of the display board wherein the hanger can be used to attach the display board to a substantially vertical surface; a graphic instrument used to deposit erasable marks to at least the front face of the display board; a graphic instrument receptacle attached to the display board wherein the graphic instrument can be removably attached; an eraser element wherein the eraser eradicates the erasable marks deposited by the graphic instrument; and, a plurality of shaped display members having at least a first side and a second side wherein the second side is adapted to be removably affixed to the display board's front face, wherein the shaped members are removably affixed in a position on the display board, each shaped display member able to be removably affixed in any position on the board a plurality of times.
