20100134943 | METHOD FOR DISTURBANCE CURRENT COMPENSATION FOR AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND DISTURBANCE CURRENT COMPENSATION DEVICE - An exemplary method is disclosed for disturbance current compensation for an electrical system by a disturbance current compensation device, which electrical system has a voltage source and a series circuit which is connected via a conductor in parallel with the voltage source. The series circuit has an inductance and a capacitance, with the inductance being connected in series with the capacitance via a conductor. To compensate for disturbance currents, the conductor for the connection of the voltage source to the series circuit of the inductance with the capacitance, and/or the conductor of the series circuit between the inductance and the capacitance, can be surrounded by a ring (e.g., a portion of the conductor can be substantially surrounded by the ring) which can be magnetized. The ring includes an air gap of the disturbance current compensation device. A compensation voltage can be applied by magnetization of the ring. The ring can be magnetized by a magnetization coil of the disturbance current compensation device. | 06-03-2010 |

20090184735 | AUTOMATIC PHASE-DETECTION CIRCUIT FOR CLOCKS WITH KNOWN RATIOS - An automatic phase detection circuit for generating an internal synchronization signal when two clock input signals achieve a certain phase relationship. No external reference signal is required. The logic state of one clock is sampled on the active edge of the other clock and stored in a shift register. The content of the shift register is compared to a pre-defined signature and a sync signal is generated when the content matches the pre-defined signature. A mask register may be used to define which bits of the shift register and pre-defined signature are compared. | 07-23-2009 |

20140181420 | DISTRIBUTED CACHE COHERENCY DIRECTORY WITH FAILURE REDUNDANCY - A system includes a number of processors with each processor including a cache memory. The system also includes a number of directory controllers coupled to the processors. Each directory controller may be configured to administer a corresponding cache coherency directory. Each cache coherency directory may be configured to track a corresponding set of memory addresses. Each processor may be configured with information indicating the corresponding set of memory addresses tracked by each cache coherency directory. Directory redundancy operations in such a system may include identifying a failure of one of the cache coherency directories; reassigning the memory address set previously tracked by the failed cache coherency directory among the non-failed cache coherency directories; and reconfiguring each processor with information describing the reassignment of the memory address set among the non-failed cache coherency directories. | 06-26-2014 |

20100077240 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION OF FULLY-BUFFERED DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES - Methods and apparatuses are presented for reducing the power consumed in an in-line memory module. In some embodiments, the method may include monitoring a memory requirement of a computer system, the computer system comprising a plurality of memory modules. In the event that the memory requirement changes, unmapping at least one of the plurality of memory modules and maintaining a low power state for the at least one unmapped memory module. The method may further comprise selectively re-initializing the plurality of memory modules such that the at least one unmapped memory module remains in a low power state while the remainder of the plurality of memory modules are in a non-low power state. Where, in the event that the memory requirement changes again, the method also may comprise re-programming the memory controller with an identifier associated with the at least one unmapped memory module. | 03-25-2010 |
