20100324880Techniques for Processor/Memory Co-Exploration at Multiple Abstraction Levels - Processor/memory co-exploration at multiple abstraction levels. An architecture description language (ADL) description of a processor/memory system is accessed. The ADL description models on one of a plurality of abstraction levels. The abstraction levels may include a functional (or bit-accurate) level and a cycle-accurate level. Further, a communication protocol for the processor/memory system is accessed. The communication protocol is formed from primitives, wherein a memory interface formed from the primitives is useable in simulation at the abstraction levels. A processor/memory simulation model is automatically generated from the description and description of the communication protocol. The processor/memory simulation model comprises a processor/memory interface comprising the primitives and based on the communication protocol. The memory interface allows simulation of the processor/memory on the appropriate abstraction level for the simulation. For example, the processor/memory interface may be a functional interface or a cycle-accurate interface.12-23-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090134241Painting machine - A painting machine having a spray head for painting an object, a pump for conveying paint from a paint container via a feed line to the spray head and back via a return line to the paint container, the feed and return lines connected to a solvent container with a solvent for flush cleaning the painting machine. The feed and return lines are connected to a disposal container for disposing of paint and solvent residues, and at their respective container-side end to a first and second controllable multiway valve for switching the feed and return lines to the paint container, solvent container or disposal container. The painting machine has a control device for controlling the multiway valve such that execution of the consecutive operations of disposal of the paint, filling with solvent, flushing out the painting machine, disposing of the solvent, refilling with paint and also further conveyance of the paint are automated.05-28-2009
