Abstract: An arbiter in a switch matrix system arbitrates multiple bus transaction requests in a single bus frequency clock cycle, by operating at a frequency greater than the bus frequency. This allows for two or more arbitration operations in a single bus frequency clock cycle with one instance of arbitration logic. The arbiter may arbitrate for two or more slave devices, or may arbitrate multiple master device requests directed to the same slave device. The arbiter frequency may be variable, and may be predicted based on, e.g., prior bus activity. If only one bus transaction request is pending, the arbiter frequency may equal the bus frequency. The results of an earlier arbitration decision may be utilized to more intelligently make subsequent arbitration decisions in the same bus frequency clock cycle.

Abstract: The inventions disclosed herein relate to a quick-connect fitting for connecting a burner tube to a barbecue grill. It is believed that the preferred quick-connect of the present invention reduces the time required to assemble a barbecue grill by providing for a simple two step assembly. The quick-connect generally comprises a female connector and a male connector wherein the female connector is preferably attached to the burner tube and the male connector is preferably connected upstream of the fuel supply. The female connector preferably has an inwardly directed protrusion while the male connector has a corresponding longitudinal entry portion and circumferential groove. In the first step of assembly, the female connector is mated with the male connector by aligning the protrusion with the entry portion and urging the connectors together. In the second step of assembly, the female connector is rotated relative to the male connector such that the protrusion enters the groove to effectively prevent relative axial movement between the connectors.
