摘要： A system and method for shared buffering of InfiniBand virtual lanes and queue pairs. Instead of allocating dedicated memory space (e.g., a set of FIFO queues), a shared memory dynamically accommodates traffic received on different virtual lanes and/or queue pairs of an InfiniBand network. A multi-port RAM comprises memory buckets or elements for storing contents of InfiniBand packets. For each queue pair and/or virtual lane, matching head and tail pointers identify the first and last elements of a linked list of traffic buffered from that queue pair or virtual lane. A multi-port control structure mirrors the RAM. For each node in a queue pair or virtual lane's linked list, a corresponding entry in the control structure relates to the corresponding memory element and stores an identifier of the memory element and control entry corresponding to the next node in the linked list.

摘要： An apparatus and method for enabling hot swapped circuit boards to receive multiple power voltages from a backplane and supply the multiple power voltages to devices on the circuit board in a predictable sequence. An apparatus according to the invention would include a circuit board having an electrical connector, a sequencing circuit, and an element. The electrical connector of the circuit board receives the multiple power voltages from another circuit board, such as a backplane or motherboard. The sequencing circuit receives the multiple power voltages from the electrical connector. When a part of the sequencing circuit receives a signal indicating that the sequencing circuit has received a first power voltage, the sequencing circuit provides a second power voltage to the element electrically coupled to the sequencing circuit.

摘要： A thermal ink jet printer for printing an image on a receiver and method of assembling the printer. The printer comprises a print head defining a first chamber and a second chamber therein. The first chamber contains a working fluid and the second chamber contains an ink body. A flexible membrane separates the first chamber and the second chamber. A first transducer in the first chamber induces a first pressure wave in the working fluid that flexes the membrane into the second chamber to pressurize the ink body and eject an ink drop from the second chamber through an outlet. A second transducer in the first chamber induces a second pressure wave that flexes the membrane into the second chamber to damp the first pressure wave transmitted into the second chamber.

摘要： A system and method for implementing flow control, at the link and/or transport layers, for InfiniBand receive traffic. A shared memory structure may be used for combined queuing of virtual lane and queue pair traffic. Each virtual lane is allocated a number of memory buffers; a packet is dropped if buffering it would cause its virtual lane to exceed its allocation of buffers. For each active queue pair, a linked list of buffers is maintained in the structure. Each queue pair is dedicated zero or more of its virtual lane's buffers, and may also use a set of buffers shared among multiple queue pairs. Thresholds are established in a queue pair's dedicated set of buffers and/or the shared set of buffers. As each threshold number of buffers is used, a queue pair can advertise fewer message credits. RNR-NAKs are issued when no more buffers are available to a queue pair.

摘要： An apparatus and method for comparing identifications of circuit boards in a midplane. When a first circuit board and a second circuit board are inserted into opposite sides of the midplane, an incompatibility between the first circuit board and the second circuit board may damage or impair the operation of one or both of the first circuit board and the second circuit board. To solve this problem, a first identification is stored on the first circuit board and a second identification is stored on the second circuit board. If the first identification of the first circuit board and the second identification of the second circuit board indicate an incompatibility, then one or both of the first circuit board and the second circuit board is/are prevented from fully powering up.

摘要： A test pattern is scanned to find ideal print-medium advance for a pen (or other marking device). The pattern has a medium; and, marked on it, image patches each with overlapped swaths stepped by different distances. At best there are different-color pens; and for each distance a set of patches, each with a patch for each color (preferably area fills at sensitive tones by color). All patches in a set are best adjacent along a scan direction, with alignment lines above each set across the whole pattern, and a nozzle-conditioning patch at each image patch. A processor prints the pattern, operates a sensor and uses its signals to find optimum advance. The system finds and prints with ideal advance for a most-active pen; or weighs pen activity to find an optimum for all pens based on certain statistical and/or prospective choices.

摘要： A system and method for tracking responses to InfiniBand RDMA Reads. When an RDMA Read or Read request is issued by a transmit module, a receive module is informed of the packet sequence numbers (PSN) associated with the expected RDMA Read responses. The receive module maintains a linked list for each queue pair that issues RDMA Reads. Each entry in the linked list corresponds to one RDMA Read for the associated queue pair, and identifies the first and last PSN and includes a link to the next entry in the linked list. When the final RDMA Read response is received, the receive module notifies the transmit module, which can then retire the RDMA Read from its retry queue.
