Title: A control apparatus for operating a fuel injector
Inventor: PELIZZONI IVAN
IPC: F02D41/40
Filed: 2013-09-23
Abstract: A control apparatus for operating a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder housing a piston connected to a crankshaft and a fuel rail, wherein the control apparatus comprises an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) (450, fig.1) configured to perform a first calculation task in order to calculate a set of Start Of Injection values (SOIi) of a train of injections, calculate an angular position (DIAngPos) of the crankshaft (145, fig.2) defining the start of a second calculation task, perform the second calculation task in order to calculate a set of values (ETi) of the energizing time of the injections of the train, wherein the angular position (DIAngPos) is calculated as a function of the Start Of Injection value (FirstSOI) of the first injection of the train as calculated by the first calculation task. The energising time calculation is therefore made closer to the actual injection event to minimise inaccuracies caused by changes in engine speed or fuel rail pressure.

Title: Increased in-line deduplication efficiency
Inventor: BALDWIN DUANE MARK
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2013-01-08
Abstract: Exemplary method, system, and computer program product embodiments for increased in-line deduplication efficiency in a computing environment are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only hash values are calculated in nth iterations for accumulative data chunks extracted from an object requested for in-line deduplication. For each of the nth iterations, the calculated hash values for the accumulative data chunks are matched in a nth hash index table with a corresponding hash value of existing objects in storage. The nth hash index table is exited upon detecting a mismatch during the matching. The mismatch is determined to be a unique object and is stored. A hash value for the object is calculated. A master hash index table is updated with the calculated hash value for the object and the calculated hash values for the unique object. Additional system and computer program product embodiments are disclosed and provide related advantages.

Title: Parallel slice processor having a recirculating load-store queue for fast deallocation of issue queue entries
Inventor: Sundeep Chadha
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2015-12-29
Abstract: An execution unit circuit for use in a processor core provides efficient use of area and energy by reducing the per-entry storage requirement of a load- store unit issue queue. The execution unit circuit includes a recirculation queue that stores the effective address of the load and store operations and the values to be stored by the store operations. A queue control logic controls the recirculation queue and issue queue so that that after the effective address of a load or store operation has been computed, the effective address of the load operation or the store operation is written to the recirculation queue and the operation is removed from the issue queue, so that address operands and other values that were in the issue queue entry no longer require storage. When a load or store operation is rejected by the cache unit, it is subsequently reissued from the recirculation queue.
