Abstract: An agent, in response to a write to a shared block, is configured to initiate a read exclusive transaction on an interface on which the agent communicates. Additionally, the agent is configured to indicate, to a responding agent or agents on the interface, that a data transfer is not required from the responding agent or agents in response to the read exclusive transaction. In one embodiment, the agent indicates to the responding agents that a data transfer is not required in a response phase of the transaction. Specifically, the agent may respond in such a way that the agent indicates that it will provide the data (i.e. that the agent will provide the data to itself). For example, the agent may respond with an exclusive ownership indication. On the interface for such an embodiment, an exclusive ownership response may require that the agent having exclusive access respond with the data.

Abstract: A memory tester (6) is equipped with History FIFO's (91-98, 124-127) whose
depths are adjusted to account for the sum of the delays of the pipelines, relative to the
location of that History FIFO's (91-98,124-127) whose depths are adjusted to accound
for the sum of the delays of the pipelines, relation to the location of that History FIFO.
When the error flag (90,99) is generated the desired program location and state
information is present at the bottom of an appropriate History FIFO. This is also readily
applicable when the test program uses an ALU to generate its own DUT stimuli, as well
as to the case when the test program / ALU addresses an intermediate Buffer Memory
whose contents are central to the nature of the testing the DUT is to undergo. The first
is an ALU History FIFO (91-98), while the second is a Buffer Memory History FIFO
(127-127). There can also be ECR History FIFO's. There is a mechanism (84) to track
system re-configuration as it occurs and adjust the depths of the various History FIFO's
according to resulting pipeline depth. There is a mechanism (86,98) to freeze the
contents of a History FIFO upon the generation of an error. A History FIFO can be
extended to allow a branching instruction in the test program to not prematurely respond
to an error flag sooner than the pipeline delay needed for that error flag's value to be
determined by a cause located within the test program.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for acquiring and verifying a code used by a
base station. Acquisition time is reduced and circuitry simplified by
performing Phase I (320) and Phase II (330) acquisitions in series, but
in parallel with Phase III acquisition (340) and verification (350),
which are done in series. Phase III code acquisition (340) is done by
despreading the input signal using each of the possible codes in a code
group. An estimation of the frequency offset between the base station
and the terminal's local reference is used to correct the phase of the
despread signals, which are coherently and non-coherently integrated. The
largest accumulated value corresponds to the code used by the base
station. The code is verified by despreading (380) the received signal,
applying a frequency correction (360), and demodulating. The demodulated
output is a series of symbols, and a count of these symbols verifies the
acquired code.

Abstract: The system and method for streaming media to a viewer and managing the media comprises and an enhanced service routing processor (ESRP), a real time switch management system (RTSMS), a name routing processor (NRP), and a managed media switch (MMS). The system and method operate with a reservation server. The ESRP receives media from an owner, manages the media according to media rules and order rules defined by the owner, and distributes the media to one or more switches, such as the MMS, according to the media rules and the order rules. The RTSMS is configured to receive the media rules and to receive a viewer's media request via the reservation server. The RTSMS processes the media request according to the media rules and builds a reservation for the requested media. The RTSMS generates the reservation to the viewer and the NRP. The NRP receives the reservation data from the viewer and from the RTSMS. The NRP processes the reservation data and locates an MMS that can stream the media to the viewer. The NRP transmits the IP address of the MMS to the viewer and transmits the reservation data to the MMS. The viewer initiates a session or connection with the MMS using the reservation number. If the reservation data from the viewer matches the reservation data from the NRP, the MMS streams the media to the viewer.
