A method and apparatus is disclosed to compare numbers for equality. The numbers represented in a redundant form, including numbers received from a bypass circuit are subtracted. More specifically, a complemented form is generated and supplied to an arithmetic circuit for at least one number represented in the redundant form. Input to the arithmetic circuit is adjusted to augment a result generated through the arithmetic circuit to generate a valid outcome represented in the redundant form as a result of a subtraction operation. Results of the subtraction operation are compared to zero in redundant form using a non-propagative circuit and without requiring carry propagation, thereby producing an equality comparison of the number in redundant form.

A domino logic circuit includes a first domino gate that evaluates one or more inputs responsive to a clock signal, a reset gate, and a second domino gate having a first input coupled to the output of the first domino gate. A first input of a reset gate is coupled to the output of the first domino gate, with a second input of the reset gate being coupled to the output of the second domino gate. The reset gate outputs a precharge signal coupled to a second input of the second domino gate when the second domino gate is discharged and the output of the first domino gate changes state such that a high-to-low transition occurs at the first input of the second domino gate.

A ring-style, multi-stage VCO of a phase lock loop circuit includes two or more differential amplifier stages. The phase lock loop includes a lowpass filter connected between a control voltage terminal and a voltage-to-current converter stage, which includes a first source-follower MOS transistor M1 with a source resistor R1 and a diode-connected MOS transistor M2 connected to its drain terminal. A current-source MOS transistor M8 has a gate terminal connected to the drain of the first MOS transistor M1 such that the transistor M8 mirrors current of transistor M1. A diode-connected transistor M9 has its gate terminal and its drain terminal connected together and also to the drain terminal of transistor M8. A differential amplifier stage includes a current-source MOS transistor M10 having a gate terminal connected to the drain of the first MOS transistor M1 to current mirror the drain current of M1. The differential amplifier stage also includes a pair of MOS transistors M4 and M5 connected to the drain terminal of the current-source MOS transistor M10. The gate terminal of MOS transistor M4 is an IN terminal and the gate terminal of MOS transistor M5 is an IN.sub.-- terminal. The drain terminal of MOS transistor M4 provides an OUT.sub.-- signal for the differential amplifier stage and the drain terminal of MOS transistor M5 provides an OUT signal for the differential amplifier stage. A MOS transistor M6 forms a load impedance for MOS transistor M4 and a MOS transistor M7 forms a load impedance for MOS transistor M5. The gate terminals of M6 and M7 are connected to the drain terminal of transistor M9.

A high temperature, low friction, flexible coating for metal surfaces which are subject to rubbing contact includes a mixture of three parts graphite and one part cadmium oxide, ball milled in water for four hours, then mixed with thirty percent by weight of sodium silicate in water solution and a few drops of wetting agent. The mixture is sprayed 12-15 microns thick onto an electro-etched metal surface and air dried for thirty minutes, then baked for two hours at 65.degree. C. to remove the water and wetting agent, and baked for an additional eight hours at about 150.degree. C. to produce the optimum bond with the metal surface. The coating is afterwards burnished to a thickness of about 7-10 microns.

A data processing system includes a host processor, a co-processor, and a memory that includes multiple buffer descriptor (BD) rings. The host processor includes multiple cores that execute multiple threads to process data packets stored in the memory. The host processor generates a notification command based on multiple context switch events that occur in the cores. The notification command indicates a context switch event type and BD ring IDs associated with BD rings to be polled by the co-processor. The BD rings are referred to as active BD rings. The co-processor polls only the active BD rings based on the notification command and processes the data packets associated with the active BD rings.

A system for managing data packets has multiple cores, a data buffer, a hardware accelerator, and an interrupt controller. The interrupt controller transmits a first interrupt signal to a first one of the cores based on a first hardware signal received from the hardware accelerator. The first core creates a copy of buffer descriptors (BD) of a buffer descriptor ring that correspond to the data packets in the data buffer in a first virtual queue and indicates to the hardware accelerator that the data packets are processed. If there are additional data packets, the interrupt controller transmits a second interrupt signal to a second core, which performs the same steps as performed by the first core. The first and the second cores simultaneously process the data packets associated with the BDs in the first and second virtual queues, respectively.
