20100161309Apparatus and Methods Thereof for Configuration and Control of a System-On-Chip Emulation Platform - An apparatus, protocol and methods for configuration of a platform for prototyping and emulation of a system-on-chip (SOC) device. The apparatus is an extensible platform for configurable prototyping of SOCs using an integrated circuit board comprised of a configurable board controller and a plurality of configurable modules which implement the SOC functionality. A plurality of such platform boards may be linked together to provide emulation and prototyping functionality for a multi-core system. The protocol specifies the SOC platform configuration data, commands for configuration and reading and writing data to each module and the communications between the host computer and the platform. The apparatus uses methods for configurable execution of the configuration commands by the board controller, and for the preparation of the configuration specification by the host computer. The host computer provides a user interface for management of the configuration specification preparation.06-24-2010
20100250827Apparatus for Enhancing Flash Memory Access - An apparatus for interfacing between a CPU and Flash memory units, enabling optimized sequential access to the Flash memory units. The apparatus interfaces between the address, control and data buses of the CPU and the address, control and data lines of the Flash memory units. The apparatus anticipates the subsequent memory accesses, and interleaves them between the Flash memory units. An optimization of the read access is therefore provided, thereby improving Flash memory throughput and reducing the latency. Specifically, the apparatus enables improved Flash access in embedded CPUs incorporated in a System-On-Chip (SOC) device.09-30-2010
20110128177Apparatus and Methods Thereof for Reducing Energy Consumption for PWM Controlled Integrated Circuits in Vehicles - An apparatus, protocol and methods for reducing vehicle energy consumption and for precise electronic event control, by implementing full CPU off-loading, using pulse-width modulation (PWM) with analog feedback diagnosis enabling real-time operation. Accordingly, analog feedback is used for external integrated circuits (IC) controlled by a PWM output, for processes to be analyzed. The apparatus includes a microprocessor that integrates an autonomous PWM module and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) group manager, each including register modules for enabling analog-to-digital signal conversion comparisons of PWM feedback data, and generating of an interrupt commands when required.06-02-2011

20110133447Plug-in hose coupling - A plug-in hose coupling includes a housing input part with a receiving bore widened in an end region which faces toward the interior of the coupling. A tubular support sleeve is sealingly clipped into the widened end region by an annular collar which has multiple outward U-shaped channels. At least one annular seal and one annular holding element, which bears axially against the seal, is in the form of an open lock washer and is supported against an inner conical support face of the housing input part. The support face narrows conically counter to the plug-in direction of the tube end. The holding element has encircling cutting edges on the inner periphery for engaging the tube end. A fastening part is non-detachably joined to the housing input part and support sleeve by an overmolding connecting section.06-09-2011

20100211550METHOD ALLOWING VALIDATION IN A PRODUCTION DATABASE OF NEW ENTERED DATA PRIOR TO THEIR RELEASE - A method of insuring the integrity of a plurality of updates brought in real-time to a production database concurrently used by one or more software applications is described. The production database includes a plurality of products participating to the definition of objects. The method first includes requesting the issuance of a unique filing number associated to a draft state version of the plurality of updates while keeping them invisible to the end-users of the production database. Then, a set of product items identified as a whole by the unique filing number are created or copied from the production database and gathered under the form of a meta-product on which the plurality of updates is applied. After updating, the meta-product is successively set into a customizable flow of one or more validation states in order to perform a cross-validation of the plurality of updates. After validation, the meta-product is set into a production state where the uniquely identified meta-product becomes immediately visible and useable by the end-users.08-19-2010

20120059802METHOD ALLOWING VALIDATION OF LARGE VOLUME OF UPDATES IN A LARGE PRODUCTION DATABASE OF NEW ENTERED DATA PRIOR TO THEIR RELEASE - A method of insuring the integrity of a plurality of updates brought in real-time to a large production database concurrently used by one or more software applications is described. The large production database includes a plurality of products participating to the definition of objects. The method first comprises the step of requesting the issuance of a unique filing number associated to a draft state version of the plurality of updates while keeping them invisible to the end-users of the large production database. Then, a set of product items identified as a whole by the unique filing number and on which the updates applies is created or copied in the large production database and gathered under the form of a meta-product on which the plurality of updates is applied. When updating is complete, the meta-product is successively set into a customizable flow of one or more validation states in order to perform a cross-validation of the plurality of updates. Finally, when validation is complete, the meta-product is set into a production state where the uniquely identified meta-product becomes immediately visible and useable by the end-users of the one or more software applications.03-08-2012
