The method comprises receiving a first data element at an input of a FIFO buffer which includes a plurality of buffer slices including an output buffer slice wherein each of the plurality of buffer slices comprise a data register and a control bit register. A buffer slice is identified which is indicated for storing a data element based on a control bit register for the buffer slice and a control bit register of an adjacent buffer slice on an output side. When data is read from an output buffer slice the FIFO buffer, all data in other buffer slices are shifted down one slice closer to the output side of the FIFO buffer. | 2010-09-02 |
20100223406 | MEMORY MODULES HAVING DAISY CHAIN WIRING CONFIGURATIONS AND FILTERS - Examples described include memory units coupled to a controller using a daisy chain wiring configuration. A filter located between a first memory unit and the controller attenuates a particular frequency, which may improve ringback in a signal received at the memory units. In some examples, a quarter-wavelength stub is used to implement the filter. In some examples, signal components at 800 MHz may be attenuated by a stub, which may improve ringback. | 2010-09-02 |
20100223407 | MEDIA SOURCE DEVICE WITH DIGITAL FORMAT CONVERSION AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH - A media source device includes media files in either original source format or in alternative digital formats, based on a content descriptor indicated by a client device from a plurality of content descriptors generated to represent possible transcodings of the source format. In the alternative, a media source device can receive a client device report and subsequent request for a media file. The media source device can send the media file to the client device in a particular digital format based on whether the content descriptor corresponding to the media file is compatible or incompatible with the client device. The bit rate used to send the media file to the client device can be adjusted based on the available transmit bit rate. | 2010-09-02 |
20100223408 | APPARATUS FOR NON-DISRUPTIVELY DISCONNECTING A PERIPHERAL DEVICE - An electronic device includes a communication bus having a physical layer for interacting with a peripheral device. The physical layer is configured to be adjacent to a link layer on the peripheral device. The electronic device further includes a connector at a junction of the physical layer and the link layer. Communication through the communication bus is maintained through the physical layer when the link layer of the peripheral device is disconnected from the physical layer at the connector. | 2010-09-02 |
