Aug 13, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/838013
Inventors:

David R. Bueno - Pinellas Park FL, US

H04J 3/16
US Classification:

370469, 370464, 370465
Abstract:

A method of communicatively coupling network elements supporting multiple network protocol types comprises receiving input having multiple network protocol types from an upper-level of the protocol stack at an endpoint-flexible-interface layer in a network endpoint, mapping the input between the upper-level of a protocol stack and a common-lower-level in the protocol stack at the endpoint-flexible-interface layer, and implementing the common-lower-level protocol layer to interface the multiple network protocol types to the physical layer, so that at least two endpoints of a network are communicatively coupled.

Filed:

Jul 25, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/188312
Inventors:

Clifford Kimmery - Clearwater FL, US
Assignee:

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - MORRISTOWN NJ
International Classification:

G06F 13/28
US Classification:

711106000
Abstract:

Methods and systems for refresh and error scrubbing of dynamic memory devices is provided. A method for maintaining the integrity of data stored in dynamic memory devices comprises determining a refresh-scrub-access-period time interval for a dynamic memory device having a plurality of memory elements, based on a refresh rate requirement for the dynamic memory device and an error scrub rate requirement; and performing an error-scrub function on each memory element of the dynamic memory device at a periodicity not exceeding the refresh-scrub-access-period time interval.

US Patent:

20070124554, May 31, 2007
Filed:

Oct 28, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/261087
Inventors:

Mark Allen - Clearwater FL, US
Clifford Kimmery - Clearwater FL, US
James Parker - Tarpon Springs FL, US
Daniel Tabor - Belleair Beach FL, US
Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:

G06F 12/00
US Classification:

711163000
Abstract:

Systems and methods for global memory for a RapidIO network are provided. In one embodiment, a method for accessing global data on a RapidIO network comprises obtaining ownership of a global memory unit (GMU) and receiving a data write packet at a GMU endpoint on a RapidIO network. The data write packet includes a source network identifier and a dataset. The method further comprises verifying whether the source network identifier matches a lock owner network identifier stored in a first register, and verifying one or both of whether one or both of a processor endpoint and a controller endpoint are permitted to alter the lock owner network identifier, and whether the source network identifier identifies a processor endpoint authorized to write data on the GMU based on a set of authorized source network identifiers stored in a second register. The method further comprises storing the dataset on the GMU.
