摘要:
A system and method for detecting errors in high-speed asymmetric interfaces are described. Embodiments include transmitting digital data between a first system component and a second system component over a bidirectional interface, wherein the first component is significantly more intelligent than the second component. The first component controls many operations of the second component, including receiving a signature from the second component over an existing line of the interface. The signature received is compared to a signature stored by the first component. Both signatures correspond to a transaction over the interface. Based on the comparison, the first component determines whether the transaction was successful, and directs the second component as necessary.

A spent anode is replaced with a new anode in an electrolysis cell having an anode bus bar and an anode rod contacting the bus bar. A desired distance (D4) from the bus bar to a reference point on or adjacent to an anode rod for the new anode is calculated, the spent anode is replaced with a new anode so that the reference point on the new anode rod is spaced from the bus bar by an actual distance (D5), and the actual distance (D5) is measured at least once by means of a vision system. The actual distance (D5) is preferably adjusted using a feedback control loop in a computer so that D5 approaches the desired distance (D4).

A temperature monitoring technique that eliminates the need for bipolar devices. In one embodiment of the present invention, a long-channel MOS transistor is configured in a diode connection to sense change in temperature. The diode drives a linear regulator and an oscillator. The oscillator in turn drives a counter, which counts pulses for a fixed period of time. The system clock on the chip is used as a temperature-independent frequency to generate a count. The temperature-dependent frequency is counted for a fixed number of system clock cycles. The present invention eliminates band gap circuitry currently used in most thermal sensing devices to provide a temperature-independent reference.

An electrolytic cell for aluminum production, including a cell wall, a bus bar, a carbonaceous cathode block, and a collector bar connecting the bus bar with the cathode block. The collector bar comprises a ferrous metal body including a solid spacer and a sheath defining a cavity containing a copper insert. The spacer has an external end portion connected with the bus bar and an internal end portion that is preferably spaced inwardly of the cell wall. The spacer separates the copper insert from the bus bar, thereby reducing heat loss from the cell.

A method and apparatus for monitoring voice and data telephone calls by a law enforcement agency, wherein separate monitoring connections for each party to the call are established. Upon determining that a particular call is to be monitored, the group switch attempts to establish a plurality of separate connections between each multiple point (MUP) on the group switch that receives voice or data signals from one of the parties to the call and one or more monitoring centers. If the connection associated with the primary party to be monitored fails, the group switch reroutes signals received from the primary party to a successful connection of the plurality of attempted connections.

A cathode assembly for use in a Hall-Heroult electrolytic cell, the assembly including a cathode block which receives two primary cathode collector bars and one secondary cathode collector bar disposed therebetween. The primary collector bars each have an electrical interface with the cathode block which is sized to be equal to or greater than an electrical interface between the secondary collector bar and the cathode block. The primary collector bars are electrically connected to the cathode block only along an interior portion of the cathode block and the secondary collector bar is fully connected to the cathode block. This arrangement improves current distribution through the cathode assembly by minimizing the amount of current passing through the ends of the cathode block.

The basic premise of this invention is to describe and reduce to practice a phenomena by which a string—which is generally known as a singular straight line having a certain tension, diameter and length that produces a vibration—can, when put in a network consisting of a plurality of strings connected together at one or more junction points and radiating therefrom, create a new entity known as a > which has new vibrating properties. As the vibration, in the form of a wave, travels through a first segment of the network, it splits at the first junction point met where it will travel onto at least one other string but preferably two or more strings. Transferring the original wave's energy over to the other strings in the network makes them vibrate as well and when the waves in the other strings come back to the junction, another transfer of energy occurs and part of the vibrations, which was altered by the properties of each given string, creates a pattern of vibrations which can be added or subtracted which results in complex wave patterns.

An IO method and system for bit-deskewing are described. Embodiment includes a computer system with multiple components that transfer data among them. In one embodiment, a system component receives a forward strobe signal and multiple data bit signals from a transmitting component. The receiving component includes a forward strobe clock recovery circuit configurable to align a forward strobe sampling clock so as to improve sampling accuracy. The receiving component further includes at least one data bit clock recovery circuit configurable to align a data bit sampling clock so as to improve sampling accuracy, and to receive a signal from the forward strobe clock recovery circuit that causes the data bit sampling clock to track the forward strobe sampling clock during system operation.

An asymmetrical IO method and system are described. In one embodiment, a host device includes shared resources for data synchronization of the host device and a client device. The shared resources include a shared phase interpolator. In an embodiment, data lines between the host and client are also used to transmit phase information from the client device to the host device, obviating the need for additional, dedicated lines or pins.
