US Patent:

50069802, Apr 9, 1991

Filed:

Jul 20, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/222008

Inventors:

Douglas E. Sanders - Framingham MA
George M. Uhler - Marlborough MA
John F. Brown - Northborough MA

Assignee:

Digital Equipment Corporation - Maynard MA

International Classification:

G06F 938

US Classification:

364200

Abstract:

A pipelined CPU employs separate microinstruction pipelines for the execution unit and memory management unit. Deadlocks can occur in a pipelined CPU when there is data dependency in two consecutive instructions. The later instruction may stall the pipeline if operands fetched by an earlier instruction are needed, but the earlier instruction is not producing the memory request for the operands because the pipeline is stalled; this results in a deadlock. Using separate micro-pipelines, the earlier instruction is advanced independently of the rest of the pipeline, in the case of a deadlock, so that the operands for the later instruction are provided and the deadlock is broken.

Filed:

Jan 4, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/000518

Inventors:

Douglas E. Sanders - Framingham MA

Assignee:

Digital Equipment Corporation - Maynard MA

International Classification:

G06F 1110
H03M 1300

US Classification:

371 491

Abstract:

A parity generator for multibit binary data in which only a subset of bits change at one time includes a circuit for determining whether the number of bits in the subset to be changed is odd or even. A toggle signal generator generates a toggle signal only if the number of bits to be changed is odd. A toggling circuit selectively changes the level of the parity bit in response to the toggle signal.

Appl. No.:

7/591197

Inventors:

Douglas E. Sanders - Framingham MA
Michael A. Callander - Hudson MA

Assignee:

Digital Equipment Corporation - Maynard MA

International Classification:

G06F 1200
G06F 1300

US Classification:

395425

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for monitoring transactions on a system bus for invalidate requests, including a queue for storing the invalidate requests which is divided into two parts. The first part of the queue is contained within a cache controller to ensure that an invalidate request is immediately available for processing when the cache controller is otherwise idle. The second part of the queue is contained within a system interface to ensure that the system interface can detect and respond to more system transactions before the first invalidate request has been processed and to enable the system interface to be immediately aware if the entire queue is full.

Appl. No.:

7/591196

Douglas E. Sanders - Framingham MA

Assignee:

Digital Equipment Corporation - Maynard MA

International Classification:

G06F 1100

US Classification:

395575

Abstract:

A write-back cache memory system is disclosed which includes a source of a sequence of memory addresses and a tag store coupled to the source of addresses and accessed by an index portion of said addresses, which produces information relating to the addresses. The write-back cache memory system also includes an error detector for detecting an error in the tag store information. Circuitry is included for reporting an error and saving the index which caused the error if an error is detected but no error has been previously detected. Comparing circuitry is included for comparing the index causing the current error to the previously saved address if an error is detected and an error has been previously detected; and if the address is not the same, then reporting a fatal error; otherwise, if the index is the same, then not reporting a fatal error.

A61P 25/28

Abstract:

The disclosure pertains to a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) comprising an Anc80L65 capsid for delivering a polynucleotide (e.g., a transgene) into the central nervous system (CNS). Further provided includes methods for treating CNS diseases using the rAAV and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the rAAV.
