20090095673 | Systems and methods for combining and converting solid and liquid organic waste materials into useful products - Systems and methods are provided for converting organic waste materials from a municipal waste stream to useful products, such as fuels. Through the use of a biomixer and a hydropulper, as well as through sorting and screening, the organic waste materials are progressively reduced in size and cleaned of contamination. The resulting uniform biomass is suitable for anaerobic digestion to produce biogas and a residual solid that is suitable for producing a high quality compost. A quantity of liquid organic waste material can be added to the biomixer, to the hydropulper and/or to the anaerobic digester. The quantity of liquid organic waste material can be obtained by separating the liquids from any containers and can be stored in a holding tank prior to being added to the biomixer, the hydropulper and/or the anaerobic digester. | 04-16-2009 |

20090044057 | System and Method for Controlling Synchronous Functional Microprocessor Redundancy during Test and Analysis - A system for testing a processor. The system includes a gold processor and a test access port (TAP). A processor that is a under test (DUT) is coupled to both the gold processor and the TAP. Test signals are simultaneously provided to both the gold processor and the DUT such that the gold processor and the DUT operate in synchronous functional lockstep. The TAP may also input test signals into the gold processor and DUT simultaneously and access data from each of these processors through separate test data out (TDO) connections. Test output data accessed from the gold processor may be compared to test output data accessed from the DUT to determine if any differences are present. The comparison data generated may then be used for analysis purposes. | 02-12-2009 |
20090044058 | System and Method for Controlling Synchronous Functional Microprocessor Redundancy during Test and Method for Determining Results - A system for testing a processor. The system includes a gold processor and a test access port (TAP). A processor that is a device under test (DUT) is coupled to both the gold processor and the TAP. In the first mode, the TAP provides test signals to both the gold processor and the DUT while they operate in synchronous functional lockstep. In the second mode, the TAP provides signals to the gold processor. In the third mode, the TAP provides test signals to the DUT. A host computer coupled to the interface control unit executes a software application to cause the TAP to drive test signals and to access test output data from the gold processor and the DUT. Test output data accessed from the gold processor may be compared to that accessed from the DUT to determine any differences. The comparison data generated may then be used for further analysis. | 02-12-2009 |
20090177866 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FUNCTIONALLY REDUNDANT COMPUTING SYSTEM HAVING A CONFIGURABLE DELAY BETWEEN LOGICALLY SYNCHRONIZED PROCESSORS - A method of operating a computer system. A first processor sends a first unit of binary information to an input/output (I/O) unit. The I/O unit then conveys the first unit of binary information to a functional unit in the computer system. A system response from the functional unit is then received by the I/O unit, which forwards the system response to the first processor. The system response is also stored in a first buffer. After a predetermined delay time has elapsed, the system response is then forwarded to the second processor. | 07-09-2009 |
20090307549 | PROCESSOR TEST SYSTEM UTILIZING FUNCTIONAL REDUNDANCY - A system and method for testing a processor. The system includes a gold processor and a test processor, wherein the test processor is the device under test (DUT). The test processor and the gold processor are identical. A first memory is coupled to the gold processor by a first memory bus and a second memory, independent of the first, is coupled to the test processor by a second memory bus. The first and second memories are identical. A memory bus comparator coupled to the first and second memory buses compares memory bus signals generated by the gold and test processors, and selectively provide a first indication if a mismatch occurs. A peripheral bus comparator is also coupled to the gold and test processors, and compares downstream transactions generated by the gold and test processors and to provide a second indication if a peripheral bus comparison results in a mismatch. | 12-10-2009 |

20120207578 | Method and Apparatus for a Card Dispenser - A card dispensing system for dispensing cards along a conveying surface which conveys sliced products downstream of a slicer for packaging the sliced products. A hopper contains a stack of cards which are withdrawn from the hopper by a suction force provided via at least one suction cup. The suction cup is moveable vertically to retrieve and remove the card from the hopper. The suction cup is moveable laterally to move the card into a receiving position where a card clamp on a damp carriage arrives to receive the card. Suction force on the card is released when the card damp damps down on the card. The clamp carriage moves the card from the receiving position to the staging position where a nip engages with the card to feed the card through a junction in the conveyor line just as a food product passes over the junction. | 08-16-2012 |
