Title: Systems and methods for implementing cyclic redundancy checks
Inventor: WILEY GEORGE A
IPC: H04J3/12
Filed: 2005-11-23
Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for implementing cyclic redundancy checks to improve link initialization processing and to exchange system error information. In one aspect, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) checker is provided that includes a unique pattern detector, a CRC generator, a CRC initializer and a CRC verifier. The CRC checker prepopulates the CRC  generator for a unique pattern. Upon receipt of the unique pattern within a data stream received over a digital transmission link, the CRC checker proceeds to check CRCs without the need to queue and store data. In another aspect, a CRC generator system is provided that intentionally corrupts CRC  values to transmit system error information. The CRC generator system includes a CRC generator, a CRC corrupter, an error detector and an error value generator. In one example, the digital transmission link is an MDDI link.

Title: Variable capacity gerotor pump
Inventor: WILLIAMSON MATTHEW
IPC: F04C2/10
Filed: 2005-12-21
Abstract: A variable capacity gerotor pump includes an inner rotor that is axially displaceable with respect to the outer rotor to vary the volumetric capacity of the pump. An active piston abuts the lower surface of the inner rotor and can ride inside the outer rotor, as the inner rotor is axially displaced, to provide the necessary sealing of the lower surface of the inner rotor with respect to the outer rotor. A passive piston, against which a return spring acts, abuts the upper surface of the inner rotor to provide the necessary sealing of the upper surface of the inner rotor with respect to the outer rotor. In an embodiment, a control chamber, supplied with pressurized working fluid, generates a force acting against the force of the return spring to move the inner rotor to reduce the volumetric capacity of the pump. In another embodiment, a control mechanism, such as an electric solenoid or mechanical mechanism, acts on the control piston against the force of the return spring.
