20100049892 | METHOD OF ROUTING AN INTERRUPT SIGNAL DIRECTLY TO A VIRTUAL PROCESSING UNIT IN A SYSTEM WITH ONE OR MORE PHYSICAL PROCESSING UNITS - The present disclosure relates to a method of processing an interrupt comprising a peripheral unit sending an interrupt, the interrupt being intended for a virtual unit executed by a processing unit, transmitting the interrupt to an interrupt control unit coupled to a processing unit, and the interrupt control unit storing the interrupt in an interrupt register. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the interrupt is transmitted to the interrupt control unit in association with an identifier of the virtual unit receiving the interrupt, the interrupt register in which the interrupt belonging to a set of registers is stored comprising one interrupt register per virtual unit likely to be executed by the processing unit, the interrupt being transmitted to the processing unit if the virtual unit receiving the interrupt is being executed by the processing unit. | 02-25-2010 |
20100161854 | METHOD FOR ENABLING SEVERAL VIRTUAL PROCESSING UNITS TO DIRECTLY AND CONCURRENTLY ACCESS A PERIPHERAL UNIT - The present disclosure relates to a method for enabling a virtual processing unit to access a peripheral unit, the virtual processing unit being implemented by a physical processing unit connected to the peripheral unit, the method comprising a step of transmitting to the peripheral unit a request sent by the virtual processing unit to access a service provided by the peripheral unit, the access request comprising at least one parameter and an identifier of the virtual unit, the method comprising steps, executed by the peripheral unit after receiving an access request, of allocating a set of registers to the virtual unit identifier received, storing the parameter received in the register set allocated, and when the peripheral unit is available for processing a request, selecting one of the register sets, and triggering a process in the peripheral unit from the parameters stored in the selected register set. | 06-24-2010 |
20100308602 | METHOD OF GENERATING ELECTRICAL ENERGY IN AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, CORRESPONDING INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF FABRICATION - A method of generating electrical energy in an integrated circuit that may include setting into motion a (3D) three-dimensional enclosed space in the integrated circuit. The 3D enclosed space may include a piezoelectric element and a free moving object therein. The method may also include producing the electrical energy from impact between the free moving object and the piezoelectric element during the motion. | 12-09-2010 |
20120226834 | METHOD FOR ENABLING SEVERAL VIRTUAL PROCESSING UNITS TO DIRECTLY AND CONCURRENTLY ACCESS A PERIPHERAL UNIT - The present disclosure relates to a method for enabling a virtual processing unit to access a peripheral unit, the virtual processing unit being implemented by a physical processing unit connected to the peripheral unit, the method comprising a step of transmitting to the peripheral unit a request sent by the virtual processing unit to access a service provided by the peripheral unit, the access request comprising at least one parameter and an identifier of the virtual unit, the method comprising steps, executed by the peripheral unit after receiving an access request, of allocating a set of registers to the virtual unit identifier received, storing the parameter received in the register set allocated, and when the peripheral unit is available for processing a request, selecting one of the register sets, and triggering a process in the peripheral unit from the parameters stored in the selected register set. | 09-06-2012 |

20080291644 | Fastening of a built-in unit on a switchboard and fitting method for fastening a built-in unit - At least one embodiment of the invention relates to the fastening and fitting of a built-in unit on a switchboard, which has a through-opening for this purpose, a collar, which is arranged on the built-in, limiting the action of plugging through the built-in unit, and at least one fixing and clamping device ensuring that the built-in unit is pressed correspondingly against the switchboard. In order to specify simple fastening including fitting which can be carried out by a single person, at least one embodiment of the invention proposes that holders arranged on both sides of the built-in unit and having mounts with holding lugs, which are arranged thereon and engage in corresponding depressions and/or apertures of the built-in unit, are provided, that each mount has a web, on which a slide, which latches in stepwise, can be moved toward the switchboard rear side, as a result of which it presses the holding lugs against the depressions and/or apertures and thus fixes the built-in unit in the through-opening first in the intended position, and that sealing of the through-opening takes place by means of clamping elements, which press against the switchboard rear side. | 11-27-2008 |
20100005193 | DEVICES AND SYSTEM OF INTERCONNECTING SUCH DEVICES IN A FAULT-RESISTANT TOPOLOGY - A device for measuring a physical quantity in a wired electrical network, such as a local area network (LAN) or Ethernet, has a unique network address and a first interface connected to a wired network and configured to receive and transmit data. To reduce costs for materials and the complexity of cabling, the device further includes a switch for connection to an additional device and for forwarding data, preferably in the form of data packets, to the additional device. A system includes several such devices, arranged in a chain or ring topology, and can forward data to other such devices based on the device addresses. The disclosed device configuration eliminates expensive and difficult to install switches frequently required in the center of a star configuration. | 01-07-2010 |
