Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 13:
14. A computer-implemented method for transmitting data in a data pipeline, the method comprising:
receiving a first input that is generated based on an acknowledgement signal received from a second pipeline stage that follows a first pipeline stage in the data pipeline and a first acknowledgment of a first data element by a first mousetrap element in the first pipeline stage;
receiving a second input that is generated based on the acknowledgment signal and a second acknowledgment of a second data element by a second mousetrap element in the first pipeline stage; and
generating, based on the first input and the second input, a phase signal that alternates between a first value that enables the first mousetrap element to transmit data to the second pipeline stage and a second value that enables the second mousetrap element to transmit data to the second pipeline stage.
