Bi-Directional Universal Serial Bus Booster Circuit

View page
US Patent:
7474117, Jan 6, 2009
Filed:
May 27, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/127165
Inventors:
Justin P. Bandholz - Cary NC, US
Moises Cases - Austin TX, US
Bradley D. Herman - Cary NC, US
Erdem Matoglu - Austin TX, US
Bhyrav M. Mutnury - Austin TX, US
Thomas D. Pahel - Chapel Hill NC, US
Pravin S. Patel - Cary NC, US
Nam H. Pham - Round Rock TX, US
Christopher C. West - Raleigh NC, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H03K 17/16
US Classification:
326 22, 326 92
Abstract:
A method of transmitting a signal on a bi-directional universal serial bus (“USB”) circuit for boosting a signal on a USB bus disclosed. The circuit includes a first stage inverting buffer coupled to a second stage inverting buffer to form a non-inverting buffer circuit. A high pass filter is coupled in series with the non-inverting buffer circuit to provide AC coupling to the USB bus and to allow fast signal edges through the circuit. The booster circuit is arranged to improve signal quality over a USB bus to allow additional USB devices and longer USB busses to be utilized.

Software Independent Watchdogging Scheme For Monitoring Operating System

View page
US Patent:
20050278586, Dec 15, 2005
Filed:
Jun 15, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/868648
Inventors:
James Hughes - Apex NC, US
Eric Kern - Chapel Hill NC, US
Thomas Pahel - Raleigh NC, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F011/00
US Classification:
714047000
Abstract:
An improved method and system for determining the state of an operating system includes an operating system, a USB host controller that is driven by the operating system to send a polling signal to a USB device, and a management module that monitors the polling signal. If the polling signal has stopped, then the management module takes corrective action to restore the operating system. No specialized software or specialized hardware is required to determine the state of the operating system. The state of the operating system can be determined quickly and efficiently without adding to the costs of the system.

Rack Position Determination Using Active Acoustics

View page
US Patent:
20080272887, Nov 6, 2008
Filed:
May 1, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/742613
Inventors:
Thomas M. Brey - Cary NC, US
Richard Edwin Harper - Chapel Hill NC, US
Thomas Dixon Pahel - Raleigh NC, US
William Joseph Piazza - Holly Springs NC, US
Assignee:
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H04Q 5/22
US Classification:
340 101, 367 6
Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining the position of a component rack within a data center and/or the positions of components within the component rack. In one embodiment, a plurality of ultrasonic reference transponders are disposed in fixed locations throughout a data center. The reference transponders communicate with one another to establish a reference coordinate system for the data center. Each component rack in the data center is provided with an ultrasonic rack transponder that can be triangulated with the reference transponders to determine the position of a component rack. This “rack position” information can be used by a system controller to control the components and to help regulate the data center within pre-specified operating parameters. If a problem occurs in the data center, information about the position of the affected components and component racks may be used by the system controller or a system administrator to help remedy the problem.
