摘要:
A credit-based method and apparatus are provided for controlling data communications between a sender and a receiver coupled by a link. A pipe-cleaning operation resets credits to a known value thereby compensating for errors in the link. Embodiments provide separate links for returning credits and returning pipe-cleaning responses. Further embodiments include a queue split for credit-based management and local management.

A count of data segments is maintained. The count includes data segments in a queue and data segments in transit between a data source and the queue. A flow of data segments from the data source is controlled, based on a value of the count.

Improved systems and methods for processing data traveling in a network in an efficient manner are provided. In many network implementations input/output ports have one or a small number of bandwidths. These ports sometimes lead to higher bandwidth ports than the source or destination needs. A method and system are provided wherein some of the input and output ports are known to be underutilized. Only a relatively small number of output ports require a complicated merge scheduler that provides configurable data transmission “fairness” between input ports. Accordingly, a method and system are provided wherein preprocessing of input data reduces the cost of the merge circuits required at the outputs.

When a mode indicator indicates a first mode a flow of data segments to an access module is controlled by transmitting an identifier for a queue to the access module, receiving a signal indicating a status of the queue in response to transmitting the identifier, and transmitting data to the access module based on the status of the queue. When a mode indicator indicates a second mode a flow of data segments to an access module is controlled by receiving one or more signals indicating a status of a queue from the access module, and transmitting data to the access module based on the status of the queue.

A tele-presence system that includes a cart. The cart includes a robot face that has a robot monitor, a robot camera, a robot speaker, a robot microphone, and an overhead camera. The system also includes a remote station that is coupled to the robot face and the overhead camera. The remote station includes a station monitor, a station camera, a station speaker and a station microphone. The remote station can display video images captured by the robot camera and/or overhead camera. By way of example, the cart can be used in an operating room, wherein the overhead camera can be placed in a sterile field and the robot face can be used in a non-sterile field. The user at the remote station can conduct a teleconference through the robot face and also obtain a view of a medical procedure through the overhead camera.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for sender-initiated credit recovery in a closed-loop credit based flow control system, includes assigning a number of credits to a sender unit in the credit based flow control system. The method also includes decrementing a credit count in the sender unit in response to the sender sending data to the receiver and incrementing the credit count in the sender unit in response to receiving returned credits from the receiver unit. The method also includes determining if a loss or gain in the number of credits in the credit based flow control system has occurred and adjusting the credit count based on the determined loss or gain.

The invention provides, in one aspect, a method of making a cocoa-containing food product or ingredient and preserving the levels of a particular polyphenol compound, a collection of polyphenol compounds, and/or total polyphenols present. Certain commonly used baking methods for chocolate cakes and food products use leavening agents that create an alkaline condition that effectively degrades cocoa polyphenols. By monitoring the pH or by adjusting certain alkaline agents or leavening agents used, baked products can be prepared that preserve about 75% or more of the initial cocoa polyphenols present. Food products, cocoa-containing food products, baking mixes and kits, and baked food products produced from the methods are also disclosed.

The Hitch Ball Hole is intended to provide added security from theft of existing hitch balls. An appropriate-size hole will be drilled, machined, or bored completely through the threaded portion of the shank to allow a padlock or similar locking mechanism be attached to prevent the nut securing the hitch ball from being unbolted.
