| 20090177818 | DISCOVERY OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES UTILIZING A CONTROL BUS - Discovery of electronic devices utilizing a control bus. An embodiment of a method includes connecting a receiving device to a cable, where the cable includes a control bus. If the receiving device is in a disconnect state and a signal from a transmitting device is detected on the control bus, the device is transferred to a state for a first type of transmitting device. If the receiving device is in either the disconnect state or the state for the first type of transmitting device and a predetermined voltage signal is received from the transmitting device, then the receiving device is transferred to a state for a second type of transmitting device. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090222905 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR PRE-AUTHENTICATION AND PROCESSING OF DATA STREAMS - A method, apparatus and system for pre-authenticating ports is disclosed. In one embodiment, an active port facilitating communication of media content between a transmitting device and a receiving device is identified, while the active port are associated with a first High-Definition Content Protection (HDCP) engine. Then, inactive ports that are in idle mode serving as backup ports to the active port are identified, while the inactive ports are associated with a second HDCP engine. Pre-authentication of each of the inactive ports is performed so the pre-authenticated inactive ports can subsequently replace the active port if a port switch is performed. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100100200 | DISCOVERY OF CONNECTIONS UTILIZING A CONTROL BUS - Discovery of connections utilizing a control bus. An embodiment of a method includes detecting a transition of a control bus from a high state to a low state by a source device, the source device being configured to be coupled with a sink device via an interface, the interface including the control bus, the source device including a pullup device and the sink device including a pulldown device;pulsing the control bus to a high state at the source device; and upon detecting by the source device that the control bus remains in the high state ceasing the pulsing of the control bus to the high state, and transitioning the source device from a disconnected state to a connected state. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100102999 | CODING SYSTEM FOR MEMORY SYSTEMS EMPLOYING HIGH-SPEED SERIAL LINKS - A method, apparatus and system employing a coder is disclosed. The coder to receive an incoming stream including a first code block and a second code block, and partition the first code block into first small code blocks, and partition the second code block into second small code blocks.

| 20100103929 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC DATA ALIGNER FOR MULTIPLE SERIAL RECEIVERS - A method, apparatus and system for employing an automatic data aligner for multiple serial receivers in serial link technologies is provided. In one embodiment, converting a transmission data path of a single bit into a parallel bit via a data aligner, wherein the data is being transmitted via one or more ports. Further, binding data transmission channels to reduce latency in transmission of the data, wherein the binding of the data transmission channels further includes inserting delay to match latency via the one or more ports. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100104029 | INDEPENDENT LINK(S) OVER DIFFERENTIAL PAIRS USING COMMON-MODE SIGNALING - Methods and apparatuses for using single-ended common mode signaling, additional data can be transferred in backward, forward, and/or both directions over an existing differential pair connection without adding extra wire. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100106917 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING SERIAL PORT MEMORY COMMUNICATION LATENCY AND RELIABILITY - A method, apparatus and system for reducing memory latency is disclosed. In one embodiment, data between a host computer system and a memory is communicated via a port or a group of ports at the memory over multiple time intervals, wherein the host computer is coupled to the memory. Further, a command associated with the data is communicated between the host computer system and the memory via the port or the group of ports over a single time interval. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100109795 | TRANSMISSION OF ALTERNATIVE CONTENT OVER STANDARD DEVICE CONNECTORS - Transmission of alternative content over standard device connectors. An embodiment of a method includes connecting a first device to a second device utilizing a standard connector, the connector including multiple pins, and detecting whether the second device is operating in a standard mode or an alternative mode. If the second device is operating in the alternative mode, then switching one or more pins of the standard connector for the alternative mode and transmitting or receiving signals for the alternative mode via the plurality of pins of the standard connector. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100295711 | 17B/20B CODING SYSTEM - A method, apparatus and system employing a 17 B/20 B coder is disclosed. The 17 B/20 B coder to receive an incoming stream including a 17 B block and a 20 B block, and partition the 17 B block into first blocks, and partitioning the 20 B into second blocks.
