Filed:

Mar 22, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/814894

Inventors:

Philip J. Mikal - Cupertino CA
Mou-Sheng Cheng - Fremont CA
Stephen YiPing Chou - Sunnyvale CA

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 1130

US Classification:

702183, 702180, 701 29, 705400

Abstract:

A diagnostic clearing house comprises a tool repository to store a plurality of diagnostic tools. A communication vehicle allows a plurality of diagnostic tool users to exchange diagnostic information. A management system manages access to and content of the tool repository and the communication vehicle and manages distribution of diagnostic tools from the tool repository to an end user. The diagnostic clearing house may be web-based.

International Classification:

G06F 9/45
G06F 17/50

US Classification:

703 14, 703 13, 716102, 716100

Abstract:

An automated system-on-chip (SOC) hardware and software cogeneration design flow allows an SOC designer, using a single source description for any platform-independent combination of reused or new IP blocks, to produce a configured hardware description language (HDL) description of the circuitry necessary to implement the SOC, while at the same time producing the development tools (e. g. , compilers, assemblers, debuggers, simulator, software support libraries, reset sequences, etc. ) used to generate the SOC software and the diagnostics environment used to verify the SOC.

International Classification:

H04N 5/455

H04N 7/12

US Classification:

348726, 348731, 37524001, 348E05113, 348E05097, 375E07076

Abstract:

A broadcasting signal receiver system containing a multi-standard-compatible dedicated processing unit and a general system resource is disclosed, wherein the multi-standard-compatible dedicated processing unit is configured to process one or more tuning processing steps and/or one or more demodulation processing steps, and wherein the general system resource is configured to process at least one collaborative demodulation processing step with the multi-standard-compatible dedicated processing unit via a high-speed data transfer interface. By utilizing the general system resource for at least one demodulation processing step using the high-speed data transfer interface such as USB 3.0 or PCI Express, the broadcasting signal receiver system can have a flexible design for future updates and a cost-effective compatibility to a multiple number of broadcasting standards without requiring the dedicated processing unit to use more application-specific hardware resources.

Filed:

May 7, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/731715

Inventors:

Stephen Y. Chou - Stanford CA

Assignee:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

G01P 1508

US Classification:

73517R

Abstract:

A highly sensitive accelerometer is disclosed in which the current is measured across a pair of electrodes resulting from voltage pulses from a pulse generator. The electrodes are located within a vacuum chamber. One of the electrodes is cantilevered and has its free end suspended over the other fixed electrode. The amount of current through the vacuum gap between the electrodes is determinative of acceleration since the current is an exponential function of the distance between the electrodes and the distance between the electrodes changes linearly with acceleration.
