20110171837MAGNETIC CABLE CONNECTOR SYSTEMS - Cable assemblies and connector systems that include magnetic elements are disclosed. The cable assemblies may include first and second cables. A first plurality of magnetic elements may be arranged around the first cable proximate a first end, while a second plurality of magnetic elements may be arranged around the second cable proximate a second end. Magnetic forces between respective ones of the first and second pluralities of magnetic elements may tend to retain the respective first and second ends of the first and second cables proximate one another. The connector systems may include mating retainers, each of which may include a plurality of magnetic elements. Magnetic forces between respective ones of the pluralities of magnetic elements may tend to retain the mating retainers proximate one another. In some examples, the mating retainers may include guiding elements, which may be configured to orient the mating retainers.07-14-2011

20090177934APPARATUS FOR TESTING EMBEDDED MEMORY READ PATHS - An integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes a plurality of logic circuits. The integrated circuit further includes a scan chain including a plurality of scan elements coupled in series, wherein the scan chain is configured to load stimulus data to be applied to the logic circuits for testing. The scan chain is further configured to capture data subsequent to applying the stimulus data. The integrated circuit also includes an embedded memory having a read port, wherein the read port is coupled to one or more of the plurality of logic circuits via a read path. The embedded memory includes a virtual entry having a plurality of scan-controllable storage elements. During testing, the virtual entry is operable to apply transition data to the read path in order to cause logic state transitions in the one or more logic circuits in the read path.07-09-2009
20100079162DATA PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHODS THEREOF - A data processing device includes a first memory for use during normal operation of the device and a second memory for use during testing. The second memory stores a set of test patterns for testing of a functional module. When the data processing device is in a normal (i.e. non-test) mode of operation, data is retrieved from a first memory based on a received memory address. The retrieved data is applied to the functional module of the data processing device to perform a designated function. When the data processing device is in a test mode of operation, received memory addresses are provided to the second memory for retrieval of a test pattern associated with the address. The test pattern is applied to the functional module to generate an output pattern. The result of a test is determined by comparing the output pattern to an expected pattern.04-01-2010
20100103712MEMORY TEST DEVICE AND METHODS THEREOF - In accordance with a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, a content addressable memory (CAM) of a data processing device can operate in a normal mode or a test mode. In the normal mode, the CAM provides a match value in response to determining that a received data value matches one of a plurality of values stored at memory locations of the CAM. In a test mode of operation, a plurality of test signals are applied to the CAM, and the CAM provides a match value in response to assertion of one of the test signals. The match value is applied to a functional module associated with the CAM to determine a test result. Accordingly, the test signals applied to the CAM provide a flexible way to generate match values and apply those values to the functional module during testing of the data processing device.04-29-2010

20100101241KINETIC ENERGY HEAT PUMP - A kinetic energy heat pump and method for separating fluids into hot and cold fractions, wherein the kinetic energy heat pump comprises a blower, a nozzle, a tube having a radial bend, a diffuser having a separating baffle and at least two outputs. To use, gas is accelerated through the nozzle. The gas then travels around a radial bend, wherein centrifugal force compresses gas toward the outside of the radial bend, thereby forming hot gas molecules, and expands gas molecules near the inside wall of the radial bend to form cold gas molecules. The hot and cold gas molecules then travel through the diffuser. The separating baffle selectively directs the amount of hot and cold gas molecules that travel through hot and cold output channels of the diffuser.04-29-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110021263CONTROLLING EVENT-DRIVEN BEHAVIOR OF WAGERING GAME OBJECTS - A behavior controller system and its operations are described herein. In embodiments, the operations can include detecting one or more events that occur within a wagering game. The wagering game can feature a wagering game object that can automatically (e.g., intelligently) respond to the one or more events. The behavior controller system can use event-driven behavior controllers, such as a behavior tree. The behavior controller system can determine, and activate, tasks on the behavior tree that cause the wagering game object to respond to the one or more events. In some embodiments, the behavior controller system can also prioritize tasks that may be performed by behavior trees to prevent conflicts between wagering game objects during a wagering game.01-27-2011
