摘要： Timing delays in a double data rate (DDR) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) controller (114, 116) are trained. A left edge of passing receive enable delay values is determined (530). A final value of a receive data strobe delay value and a final value of a transmit data delay value are trained (540). A right edge of passing receive enable delay values is determined using a working value of the receive data strobe delay (550); and a final receive enable delay value intermediate between the left edge of passing receive enable delay values and the right edge of passing receive enable delay values is set (560).

摘要： A technique for initializing a memory controller of a plurality of memory modules for optimum system performance is presented. A plurality of optimum sets of operational parameters that are supported by the memory controller and the plurality of memory modules are determined. A plurality of benchmark calculations using the plurality of optimum sets of operational parameters produces a plurality of benchmark numbers. The memory controller is configured with the one of the plurality of optimum sets of operational parameters that produces the best of the plurality of benchmark numbers. The benchmark calculations can be based on a variety of conditions, for example, burst length or the minimum time to read a random row of memory. Additionally, the benchmark calculations can be weighted in favor of frequency.

摘要： A microprocessor-controlled coin telephone station includes apparatus that enables it to provide dialed telecommunications service and accept payment therefor--which is its primary function. The coin telephone station further includes apparatus for automatically dialing predetermined telephone numbers, automatically answering incoming telephone calls, and apparatus for monitoring conditions associated with its primary function in order to be a participating member of a hierarchal reporting network--which is its secondary function. In order to carry out the secondary function, the coin telephone station stores operating instructions which cause it to operate as either a Master or a Slave station within the hierarchal network. The operating instructions are downloaded into the telephone station from a Host computer over the Public Switched Telephone Network, which enables it to remotely reconfigure its hierarchal network of telephone stations to efficiently accommodate additional stations and periodic changes in the cost of long distance telephone calls.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for use in testing a memory (230) coupled to a processing node (214). A background scrubber (316) in the processing node (214) is initialized to perform a test of the memory (230). A status of the background scrubber (316) is checked in which the status indicates whether an error occurred during the test. A predetermined action is taken in response to the status indicating that the error occurred during the test.

摘要： The invention is a UF.sub.6 -recovery process of the kind in which a stream of substantially pure gaseous UF.sub.6 is directed through an externally chilled desublimer to convert the UF.sub.6 directly to an annular solid ring adhering to the interior wall of the desublimer. After accumulation of a desired amount of solid UF.sub.6, the desublimer is heated to liquefy the solid. Subsequently, the liquid is recovered from the desublimer. It has been found that during the heating operation the desublimer is subjected to excessive mechanical stresses. In addition, it has been found that the incorporation of a very small percentage of relatively noncondensable, nonreactive gas (e.g., nitrogen) in the UF.sub.6 input to the desublimer effects significant decreases in the stresses generated during the subsequent melting operation. This modification to the process provides valuable advantages in terms of reduced hazard, lower operating costs for the desublimer, and increased service life for the desublimer and its auxiliaries. The new process is especially suitable for the recovery of enriched UF.sub.6 from high-speed UF.sub.6 gas-centrifuge cascades.

摘要： In response to a cold reset in a computer system, a plurality of indications in a nonvolatile memory are initialized to a first state. Each of the plurality of indications is assigned to a respective one of a plurality of tasks to be executed on one or more processors of the computer system. A first task of the plurality of tasks is executed, including changing a first indication of the plurality of indications to a second state, wherein the first indication is assigned to the first task. A computer accessible medium comprising one or more instructions implementing the initialization and one or more instructions comprise the first task is also contemplated, as well as a computer system including a processor and the computer accessible medium.

摘要： An on-screen display system for displaying instructions for guiding a user to utilize various features of a consumer electronics product such as a television receiver or VCR, includes a memory for storing both uncompressed text data and compressed text data, and an associated microprocessor for retrieving the text data, decompressing it if necessary, and presenting it to a display buffer. Text data compression is in part accomplished by a dictionary containing text data representing commonly used text "strings" comprising one or more words which is stored in the memory. Code words related to the location of respective dictionary entries in memory are substituted for respective uncompressed text data. Text data compression is also accomplished by substituting a format change code word indicating that adjacent text data representing a first string of text with a first format, such as all lower case or mixed case, is to be converted to text data representing a second string of text with a second format, such as all upper case or title case. In this way, text data representing text differing only in format only needs to be stored once. The format change code word is employed both in the uncompressed text data portion of the memory and in the dictionary portion of the memory and the text data, whether uncompressed or compressed, is retrieved and formatted for display in the same manner.
