| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7821973 | Sharing of host bus adapter context A system comprises a first host bus adapter (HBA) that uses a first context to facilitate the transmission of packets through a logical connection through the first HBA. The system also comprises a second HBA and memory in which the first context is stored. The memo... | 10/26/2010 |
| 6968028 | Nuclear power station having a gas-injection device for a coolant A nuclear power station includes a feedwater/steam circuit having a condensate-purification device and a feedwater pump connected upstream of a reactor pressure vessel. A branch line has a gas-injection device for introducing hydrogen into a coolant to ensure especi... | 11/22/2005 |
| 5027381 | Over speed data rate adjustment method and apparatus in an asynchronous data stream An improved process handles asynchronous data in which certain stop bits have been deleted or extra stop bits added to accommodate speed differences between a data source and the asynchronous data stream rate. A second asynchronous data stream is generate... | 06/25/1991 |
| 4905258 | Data circuit-terminating equipment There is disclosed a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) which connects a start-stop synchronous data terminal equipment (DTE) which is not synchronized with a PCM transmission line having various speeds. Further the DCE can satisfy recommendations o... | 02/27/1990 |
| 4872186 | Apparatus and method for identification of message initiation in a process control network In order to insure the accuracy of information transmitted over a network, the initiation of the message must be unambiguously identified. In the present invention, the intermessage spacing consists of a series of identical logic signals that exceeds a mi... | 10/03/1989 |
| 4635248 | Start-stop synchronous data transmission system with a reduced redundancy Data signals in each channel over a plurality of sequential frames of a time division multiplex signal as received are temporarily stored in each channel memory, and are read out together from the channel memory at a given time to form a combined data sig... | 01/06/1987 |
| 4589120 | Unique start bit for data transmissions In a data transmission system, the start bit is arranged so that at least a portion thereof has a different time duration than a data bit so that the data bit and start bit can be easily distinguished.... | 05/13/1986 |
| 4571722 | Integrated service multiplex equipment A time division multiplex system which has a total bandwidth of 64Kbit/s and has this bandwidth split up into 80 channels each of 800 bits/sec. Three speech channels are provided, each using 20 of these channels, 12 channels are used to provide a 9.6Kbit/... | 02/18/1986 |
| 4413336 | Process for transmitting data with the aid of a start-stop signal A process for the transmission of data from a plurality of data sources utilizes a start-stop signal whose signal frame contains one code bit and data bits from a plurality of data sources between a start bit and a stop bit. Here, the code bits indicate t... | 11/01/1983 |
| 4310922 | Bit sampling multiplexer apparatus A bit-sampling multiplexer apparatus includes two terminals, each having a transmitter portion and a receiver portion. A transmitter in one terminal multiplexes data on a plurality of incoming data channels into a serial data frame, and couples this frame... | 01/12/1982 |
| 4017683 | Digital multiplexing system employing remote scanning of a plurality of monitoring points A digital start-stop multiplexing system including a sender which sequentially scans a plurality of monitoring points and generates a train of digital pulses coded to represent information provided at the monitoring points for transmission over a transmis... | 04/12/1977 |
