| 20100209250 | OPPOSED TILTING BLADE, VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE POWER GENERATOR - Improvements in A wind generator, that may also be called and relates to, windmill, turbine or aero generator, on a vertical axis. The vertical axis gives the windmill the ability to be turned by air, or liquid if inverted, from any direction parallel to the earth's surface. Multiple blades rotate through a horizontal axis into the wind to lessen air resistance on one side while turning vertically on the other side to gain energy from the wind. The system is counter-weighted as needed, to reduce energy loss, by different methods including but not limited to gears, levers, pneumatics, cables, hydraulics or added counter-weight. The electrical generating machinery is below the blades or at the bottom of the vertical drive shaft. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20080290895 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCAL GENERATION OF PROGRAMMING DATA IN A PROGRAMABLE DEVICE - An apparatus for and method of programming a programmable logic device, the programmable logic device comprising a plurality of serially connected programmable logic regions. The method comprises the steps of receiving initial programming data for programming the plurality of serially connected programmable logic regions and receiving transformation data related to the presence and location of at least one faulty serially connected programmable logic region. The method also comprises the steps of generating bypass programming data which, in use, renders a serially connected programmable logic region logically invisible and generating effective programming data by incorporating, using information found in the transformation data, the bypass programming data into the initial programming data. Finally, the method comprises the step of programming the programmable logic device using the effective programming data such that the at least one faulty serially connected programmable logic region is programmed with the bypass programming data. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20100090720 | FLEXIBLE PARALLEL/SERIAL RECONFIGURABLE ARRAY CONFIGURATION SCHEME - A programming interface device for a programmable logic circuit, the programmable logic circuit comprising a series of parallel logic block chains each having first and second connection means, the first and second connection means being disposed at opposite ends of each chain. The programming interface device comprising first and second interfacing means for interfacing with the first and second connection means of each logic block chain, respectively and at least one programming circuit, each programming circuit arranged to configure a plurality of serially connected logic blocks. Finally, the programming interface comprises programmable connection means for connecting the connection means of each logic block chain to either the connection means of another logic block chain or directly to one of the at least one programming circuits, such that the parallel logic block chains can be configured in parallel, series or in any combination thereof. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110199119 | PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICE WITH CUSTOM BLOCKS - A programmable logic device is described, comprising a uniform routing network, an array of user programmable tiles connected to the uniform routing network and at least one functional block arranged to span at least one tile and further arranged to be connected to the uniform routing network. | 08-18-2011 |
