Abstract:
A method includes receiving a burst access request for transfer of data between a memory and a first bus. The burst access request specifies an amount of data that is at least a multiple of an amount of data transferred in one beat. A single memory request is issued, instructing the memory to transfer the specified amount of data between the memory and a buffer coupled to the first bus. The specified amount of data is transferred between the buffer and the first bus in a plurality of beats.
Abstract:
A device and a method for detecting received optical power in an optical communication network, the device mainly including: an optical splitter for separating a part from an uplink optical signal received by an optical receiver in the optical communication network and transferring the part of optical signal to a photoelectric converter; the photoelectric converter for converting the received optical signal transferred from the optical splitter into a current or voltage signal and transferring the current or voltage signal to a logic control circuit; and the logic control circuit for judging the received current or voltage signal transferred from the photoelectric converter according to a set threshold to determine whether the received optical power of the optical receiver in the optical communication network overloads, and for outputting a corresponding control signal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel fan blade of a ceiling fan, wherein whole or partial perimeter of the blades was designed to project outwardly, for example, the cross section of the outwardly perimeter of the fan blade can be presented in a shape of circular arc, oval, taper with circular arc, obliquity with circular arc, truncated taper, truncated oblique or taper with circular arc in which two sides of the projecting base have a raised bench. A comparison test showed that, the rotational speed and air volume of the novel fan blade according to the present invention is 15-24% and 5-10% greater than those of the traditional fan blades respectively, therefore resulting in saving of materials and energy.
