Filed:

May 4, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/849640

Inventors:

Todd A. Randazzo - Colorado Springs CO

Assignee:

LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

H03K 1900

US Classification:

326 80, 326 56, 326 16

Abstract:

An integrated circuit having input output buffers, where the integrated circuit is powered by at least a core power supply and an input output power supply. A level shifter receives an active low signal that indicates that the core power supply has powered down. The level shifter then outputs a known state upon receipt of the active low signal. A control circuit receives the known state form the level shifter, and then tristates the input output buffers upon receipt of the known state.

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707 10

Abstract:

A method is disclosed for creating and managing metadata for a distributed computing environment while maintaining the integrity of the metadata. The method includes capturing metadata and loading it into a server or servers--either central or distributed. The metadata is secured into a rigorously defined and managed system of record, ensuring that the system of record operates under stringent and well defined rules. The method further ensures that access to the system of record metadata is executed under the discipline of the system of record. The metadata can be loaded into the managing server--either centralized or distributed--in an automated and synchronized manner, resulting in a networked environment where there is integrity of loading, access, and operation.

US Classification:

351 24

Abstract:

A microprocessor based instrument designed to retrofit into existing perimeters utilizing the mechanics and stimulus control aspects of the existing perimeter. The device includes an array board positioned adjacent the perimeter mechanical arm and includes a multiplicity of visual indicators spatially arranged in a composite pattern of testing locations required for one or more ophthalmic testing procedures. A processor is connected to the array board for sequentially actuating the visual indicators in accordance with the testing procedure whereby the operator guides a cursor attached to the perimeter mechanical arm to align with the actuated indicators and control the location of the perimeter test stimulus. The processor includes means for sensing the position of the cursor, silently presenting a light flash to the patient, and a memory which records the patient's responses. When the program test sequence has been completed, the missed locations on the array board actuate allowing the examiner to manually record the data on a printed form.
