摘要:
A queuing mechanism is described for managing packets between agents of a computer system. The queuing mechanism includes an ordered queue including a plurality of queue registers to store a plurality of packets. The queuing mechanism also includes a bypass queue coupled to the ordered queue, wherein, if a packet at head of the ordered queue is a delayed request and is stalled for lack of flow control credit, then the stalled packet is moved into the bypass queue.

A method for accessing a configuration space of a device is described. The method includes setting a first field of a packet to a value to specify a destination device, and setting a second field of the packet to a defined value to indicate that the packet is a configuration access packet. The method further includes setting a third field of the configuration access packet to a value to select one of a plurality of configuration apertures of a configuration space of the destination device, and setting a fourth field of the configuration access packet to a value to address a specific memory location within the selected aperture.

A switching fabric handles transactions using a protocol that directs packets based on path routing information. Components participate in transactions using a protocol that issues packets based on physical location of a destination device over the switching fabric, by establishing a virtual link partner relationship between the components.

As the density of Electric Vehicle deployments in residential neighborhoods increase, demand on local power grids may exceed the local utility power supply causing local brown outs or transformer failure. The invention describes a method and process which enables the acquisition and efficient RF transmission of data that enables utility customers, utilities and/or other controlling entities to collaboratively regulate the timing and rate of Electric Vehicle battery charging in a manner that avoids peak-load related transformer failures.

A method and system is provided in which multiple Slave Charge Stations are connected to a Master Charge Station which contains the single point metering method or power utility “smart meter” required by power utilities to access the power grid. This method describes the use of a plurality of Slave Charge Stations attached to the Master Charge Station using a daisy chain or hub and spoke attachment means.
摘要:
In a gate array having a plurality of free transistors and target transistors, a method and apparatus for protecting a gate electrode of a target transistor from gate charge by employing a free transistor as a gate electrode protection device. A target transistor is a transistor that has been determined to need gate charging protection. A free transistor is a transistor in the gate array which is not used to implement the logic design as embodied in the gate array. Initially, a base array is formed without any metal layers. Then, a determination is made as to which transistors require gate charging protection. The gate electrode of each target transistor determined to require gate charging is coupled to an associated drain or source electrode of a free transistor of the gate array. The gate electrode of the free transistor is connected to an appropriate voltage reference to turn the free transistor off.
