Filed:

Jul 7, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/168616

Inventors:

Stephen S. Chang - Portland OR, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H04J 3/14

US Classification:

370221, 37039531, 711121

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for dynamically modifying routing information in an interconnect architecture without quiescence is herein described. Each agent/node holds routing information regarding target agents/nodes in an interconnect architecture, which may include routing preferences. When a node is to be hot removed, it generates port disable messages to neighbors. The neighbors disable a port the disable message is received on and generates a completion message back to the not to be removed. The node to be removed continues to route messages until it receives a completion; at which time it disables a corresponding node. When all nodes are disabled the device may be removed. Other nodes in the interconnect architecture learn of an agent removal through use of return cycles when messages reach dead ends during attempted routing of cycles. Furthermore, hot addition of a node includes broadcasting of an enable message to enable nodes for routing to the added node.

International Classification:

H04L 1/00

US Classification:

375285

Abstract:

A method and system to reduce the power supply noise of a platform during the training of high speed communication links. In one embodiment of the invention, the device has logic to stagger a bit lock pattern for each of one or more communication links and scramble a training sequence for each of the one or more communication links. By doing so, it removes the need for anti-noise circuits and in turn, reduces the silicon area and power of the devices. Further, by having the logic in the physical layers to facilitate the training of the communication links, it eliminates the need to redesign the package of the devices to shift the resonant frequencies.

US Classification:

252398

Abstract:

Antioxidant compositions, useful for preventing deterioration of oils and fats in food products, are prepared by a two-stage extraction from rosemary or sage. A crude product is first extracted from the plant material with a low-boiling solvent separable by evaporation, and is then found to be separable from contaminants that cause objectionable taste or odor, by vacuum steam or molecular distillation, with the antioxidant in a suitable oil carrier, and with the contaminants removed in vapor state. A special purification of the extract, for a product of very high purity except for some flavor or odor for which distillation may be needed, is attainable by chromatography, wherein the antioxidant material favors solvents of greater polarity than solvents in which other materials are eluted. The new antioxidant compositions are not only widely useful but appear to have unusual value in respect to vegetable oils and in respect to oils used in deep frying, and also are found of special value for inhibiting certain flavor and odor effects that occur in soybean oil.

Abstract:

A butter flavoring composition is prepared by fermenting a sweet-whey medium. The sweet-whey medium comprises water, sweet-whey solids, a biosynthesis-precursor-compound fortifier, and a fatty-compound enriching agent. The sweet-whey medium is pasteurized and then innoculated with a microorganism culture comprising the microorganism Leuconostoc cremoris. The innoculated medium is then incubated in a controlled temperature range with agitation and aeration to produce a fermented composition suitable for use as a butter flavoring.

International Classification:

A01N 924

US Classification:

424312

Abstract:

Parenterally administrable oil-in-water emulsions formed from nutritive oils, such as soybean and sunflower oils, are improved first by treating the nutritive oil with silicic acid to remove undesirable components such as peroxides, pigments, thermal and oxidative decomposition products, certain unsaponifiable matter such as sterols, and polymers. Purification is effected by treating the oil with silicic acid or silica gel either directly, or as a solution thereof in a suitable solvent, such as hexane. Autoxidation of the purified oil is prevented by adding to the purified oil a tocopherol antioxidant,. gamma. -tocopherol being preferred. There is also added a metal scavenging agent such as ascorbyl palmitate.

Abstract:

An edible fish oil is disclosed which contains EPA and DHA. This oil, with significantly reduced undesirable impurities, is obtained by subjecting fish oil to vacuum steam distillation contacting the oil with an adsorbent and recovering the oil. The oil can be combined with a vegetable oil and/or Rosemary extract antioxidant to improve its oxidative stability.
