'Israel's Gone Global' is Released
Throughout the centuries the word Israel has been used in various political and religious contexts. In "Israel's Gone Global" Dr. Steve H. Hakes has written an eye-opening book that delves into the many uses and influences of the word Israel throughout the centuries.
"Israel's Gone Global" explores the idea that the key multitask term Israel has had a number of functions over the millennia. It asks whether ultimate salvation, only available through Israel's messiah, is available outside Global Israel. It also looks at levels of divine revelation, marriage/divorce, meaning of life, infant salvation/damnation, and human exploration after death. This illuminating read tackles multiple concepts such as God's fairness, the criteria for ultimate life, what eternal life now is, what death is, and what relationships and morality mean in today's world.
This enlightening read is a refreshing new look at the many theological Christian concepts debated upon by numerous religious groups throughout the world. "Israel's Gone Global" is a must-have for believers everywhere.

An interface connection is described for joining a host device, such as a Network Processor, to peripherals such as modems, printers, local area networks, Ethernets and Token-Ring interfaces. The connection is particularly useful for joining portable computers, such as laptops, to these peripherals. The connector utilizes a programmable Network Processor (NP) either in the host device or in an external fan-out box. This programmable Network Processor adapts the host device to a variety of peripheral devices utilizing different protocols and I/O speeds. The NP can use a Digital Signal Processor to provide programmable services to the physical layers. The host device may contain a high-speed communication interface with the NP contained in the external connection box.
1. A computer system comprising an electronic device and a plurality of peripherals associated with said electronic device and having differing I/O speeds and formats, a universal interface joining said electronic device to each peripheral and having a programmable Network Processor (NP) with at least one digital signal processor for concurrently handling the I/O between said electronic device and each peripheral at a plurality of I/O speeds, the NP further including a Media Access Control (MAC) function for each physical interface, said MAC function including a plurality of I/O protocols for matching the I/O format of each peripheral with that of the computer.

2. Discussion of Related Art
The development of an ever-increasing number of physical interconnection interfaces for personal computers and networking equipment causes communication product developers tremendously difficult problems. Two examples will suffice to illustrate the point.
1. One of the most attractive attributes of a PC is its expandability to include modems, graphic accelerators, CD-ROM drives, scanners, video cameras, printers, disk drives and others. A defining element of the physical characteristics of a PC, such as a laptop computer, is the large number of connectors that are required to accommodate these internal and external devices. The numerous connectors require unique physical layer (generally analog) technology to interface with each connector and specific logic functions to interface with the analog technology. These logic functions are called the MAC (Media Access Control) layer functions.
2. For a manufacturer of communications equipment, generally there are a multitude of physical layer interfaces that must be supported. A particular product may require different interface versions to support 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, 16 Mbps Token-Ring, 1 Gbps Ethernet and 1 Gbps Fiber Channel, in addition to the numerous devices mentioned above. The problem, however, goes beyond the physical connectors to the MAC layer, where each interface requires its unique MAC layer support. Thus, in order for a universal connection scheme to work, it must be able to satisfy interoperability requirements with many physical layer communication standards and common I/O device standards.
Several related art patents and publications are summarized in the following discussion.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,539,666 Data Communications Method and System Coupling Device: This patent is relates to a data communication method and a system-coupling device. The data communication method preferably is used for serial communication wherein a bus of a computer system is coupled to a bus of an extension box or a bus of another computer system via a signal transmission path. A predetermined code system and data transfer scheme is defined that permits asynchronous interruption of a lower priority data transmission whenever a higher priority data transmission is required. Serial optical-fiber links are assumed to exist between the sending and receiving units.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,627,728 Expansion Box for Notebook Computers: This patent describes the physical design of an expansion box that physically mounts to the underside of a matching notebook computer. The expansion box contains the physical means for attaching modular expansion units (e.g., cartridges or cards). Each cartridge or card includes a connector for mating with a corresponding unit connector of the expansion board. The description of the preferred embodiment allows for the expansion box to reside separate from the notebook computer via a cable link rather than to be physically attached to the notebook computer. The patent does not address the functionality of the expansion units or the interface means that are incorporated within the expansion units, or between the expansion unit(s) and the system motherboard.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,729,478 Notebook Computer with Insertable Expansion Devices: This patent describes a design and method for attaching expansion units to a notebook computer. The design provides an "expansion notch" with connector to the system motherboard whereby the expansion unit(s) are designed to fit within the notch rather than protrude externally, thus minimizing the footprint of the overall unit when the expansion unit is installed. It does not address the functionality of the expansion units or the interface means that are incorporated within the expansion units, or between the expansion unit and the system motherboard.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,984,731 Removable I/O Device with Integrated Receptacles for Receiving Standard Plugs: This patent describes the physical design of a Type III PCMCIA adapter that contains a plurality of wired-network interface ports (RJ-type form factor). The electrical characteristics and physical form and dimensions are described.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,006,295 Translator with Selectable FIFO for Universal Hub Cables for Connecting a PC's PCMCIA or Parallel Ports to Various Peripherals Using IDE/ATAPI, SCSI, or General I/O: This patent is related to personal computers and, more particularly, to multi-use cables for connecting external devices to a personal computer. A universal cable set is described that includes a built-in translator device as part of the cable that allows the parallel port or PCMCIA adapter within a computer to attach to a plurality of devices, such as IDE/ATAPI, SCSI or other general I/O interfaces. It states that "A programmable means in the translator converts the parallel port signals into external interface signals for an integrated-device-electronics IDE interface, or into external interface signals for a small-computer-systems-interface." A software program executing in the PC transmits configuration information to the translator. The housing for the translator also contains a parallel printer port connector. A second cable of similar design contains a PCMCIA (Personal Computed Memory Card International Association) connector.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,070,199 Apparatus to Connect a Client Computer to a Computer Data Network: This patent describes a network interface device that utilizes an infrared link between a laptop computer and a wired-LAN interconnect unit. The communication software drivers within the computer provide a transparent link that appears as a direct-wired link to the computer applications. The interconnect unit contains the wired-LAN network interface card (NIC), such as a 10 Mbps Ethernet link. It also provides packet-filtering functions to forward only those packets that are destined for the computer via the infrared link.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,159,022 Universal Electrical Connector Station: This patent describes a specific mechanical and physical design for a universal electrical station, consisting of an enclosure, an electrical circuit board, and several external physical connections of multiple devices to a notebook computer. The design utilizes all four sides of the enclosure for physical connectors. This patent is associated with the physical design of a specific embodiment. It does not describe a specific design for an enclosure or circuit board, nor does it address software driver issues.
IBM 41082 Disclosure Publication, Dynamic Switching Between Different LAN Networking Media: This disclosure publication describes a universal software driver for interfacing a networking application to a plurality of physical media types (Ethernet, infrared, radio frequency, etc.). The basic concept is that a single, universal driver presents a common interface to the higher layer network applications while allowing the user to select the most convenient network interface link. The universal driver appears to be an Ethernet link to the network application, yet the actual transmission link may or may not be Ethernet.
IBM Dossier RPS920000078, Widescreen Notebook Input/Output Device Interface: This disclosure relates to an enhanced design of a laptop computer that includes an extended (e.g., wider) keyboard and display. The extended keyboard provides a recessed area and connector for incorporating pluggable enhancement modules or I/O devices. A plurality of devices are supported. The system is plug and play in that when an I/O device is plugged into the universal I/O connector, it may be automatically sensed by circuitry internal to the notebook computer and software drivers are loaded that enable the particular I/O device to be used.
One object of the present invention is incorporating a programmable Network Processor (NP) into an external fan-out box to provide broader flexibility in adapting to a variety of device types.
Another object is the incorporation of a programmable Network Processor within a laptop computer to allow flexible attachment of multiple device types, either with or without an external fan-out box.
Still another object is the use of a programmable Network Processor device to handle the Media Access Control layer functions for a plurality of I/O types and speeds.
Yet another object is the extension of protocol support within a programmable Network Processor to MAC layer and layer 3 network protocols.
Further, it is an object to incorporate programmable digital signal processor elements within the programmable Network Processor to provide more flexibility in the physical interface attachments that can be currently supported.
These, as well as other objects and advantages, will become more readily understandable in light of the discussion that follows.
The present invention relates to a universal connection system that satisfies these interoperability requirements in a simple yet effective manner.
The invention relates to a computer system and its method of use wherein the system is composed of an electronic device and one or more peripherals associated with the device. A universal interface joins the device to each peripheral and uses a programmable Network Processor for handling the I/O between the device and each peripheral. The NP includes capabilities for handling multiple peripherals and a plurality of I/O speeds. It is incorporated into a fan-out box external to the electronic device or may be incorporated into the device itself, particularly where the device is a laptop computer. The NP may include support to MAC layer and layer 3 network protocols. The NP may also utilize or incorporate a programmable Digital Signal Processor. The system furthermore can support an Ethernet MAC format or any other suitable communications protocol for the flow of information between the electronic device and the peripherals. When the device is a laptop computer, it may include a high-speed communication interface with the NP contained in an external connection box.
The invention also relates to a universal interface connection for joining a plurality of peripherals to a portable computer. The connection includes a programmable Network Processor which may include the capabilities for handing a plurality of I/O speeds. The connection also includes a cable connecting the computer to the peripherals. A subsystem in the NP serves to translate I/O information into an output format to be sent by the cable for each peripheral. The NP either is incorporated into a fan-out box external to the electronic device or, if the electronic device is a laptop computer, may be included within the laptop computer. The NP may include support to layer 2 (MAC) protocols and layer 3 network protocols. The NP may also include a programmable digital signal processor.

Token-Ring is a network with a star topology that uses a procedure for passing tokens from one attaching device to another.
USB is Universal Serial Bus connector.
This invention relates to the application of an NP that overcomes the problems associated with the expanding number of physical and logical interconnection interfaces.
The first problem of multiple connectors in a PC is addressed by defining a universal connector (which could be unique, or it may be one that is already used on the machine type in question). One embodiment requires, for each type of device to be supported, the development of a transition cable to provide the physical connector that a particular device normally connects to, such as in PCMCIA connector technology. Thus, an SCSI cable may be used to connect an SCSI disk drive to the PC; an IDE cable is used with an IDE hard drive; a printer cable for hooking up a printer, etc. Heretofore, the number of connectors required in the box has been somewhat reduced, thereby reducing the form factor of the product, a clear goal for laptop products, such as ThinkPad�. However, as previously noted, this requires that a number of transition cables be made available as options for the user. Behind the connector in the box lies the analog logic followed by an NP. The main thrust here is that the NP is programmed to support the necessary interfaces.
Referring now to
The drawing shows a laptop computer 110 and a connector box 112. A USB (universal serial bus) 114 on the laptop 110 is joined to a corresponding USB 116 on the connector box 112 by a suitable two way cable 118. Within the computer 110 is a logical interface delivering either printer packets 120 or network packets 122 to the Network Processor 124. The Network Processor is coupled to the laptop USB 114. The connector box 112 contains a Network Processor 130 which handles the MAC layer processing. Also included within the connector box 112 are a plurality of I/O physical interfaces joined to their matching connector ports. Phy1 132 is joined to USB connector port 134; Phy2 136 is joined to Ethernet 10/100 connector port 138; Phy3 140 is connected to Token-Ring connector port 142; Phy4 144 is connected to a 1 Gbps Ethernet connector port 146, Phy5 148 is joined to a 1 Gbps fiber connector port 150 and PhyX 152 is joined to connector port X 154. In the case of a manufacturer who has many different MAC layer interfaces to support, the NP can be used as a programmable MAC device. This arrangement serves to reduce the requirement to have, for example, 10/100 Mbps, 1 Gbps Ethernet, and 16 Mbps Token-Ring MAC layer devices in inventory. It also reduces the development time since board layout is simplified.
The programmable Network Processor implementation for attaching a variety of media types can also be extended to simplify the software drivers required in the host station. For example, Ethernet and Token-Ring have different frame formats and, thus, require unique software drivers to interface to higher-layer protocols. These drivers are responsible for building the full frame, including MAC-level headers, for outbound frames, as well as removing the MAC-level headers for inbound frames. The NP is capable of isolating the higher-layer software applications within the host from the MAC-level driver functions by providing the "intelligence" required to perform the basic driver functions. The NP-to-host internal interface can thus be a 'generic' interface for exchanging only the so-called Protocol Data Unit (PDU) minus the MAC-level headers. Thus, inbound traffic may reach the NP with Ethernet, Token-Ring or other MAC-level headers, which are stripped off prior to passing only the PDU information to the host. The NP also verifies the MAC-level frame to be error-free through the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) operation prior to removing the MAC header. Likewise, the MAC header and FCS information are appended to the basic PDU prior to transmission on either media type.
This functionality can also be extended to the Layer 3 Internet Protocol (IP) header processing. The IBM PowerNP� Network Processor, for example, can provide basic IP frame header manipulation for both inbound and outbound traffic. These functions may include:
A second aspect of the invention, as illustrated in
The application of the programmable Network Processor to provide a MAC interface for communications ports with different physical interfaces, i.e. Ethernet and Token-Ring, can be extended to many other I/O ports. There are several benefits to this approach, one of which is that a single software interface or hardware abstraction layer can be defined to cover data movement and control between the host and all I/O ports in the system. More details concerning hardware abstraction layers can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com.
The I/O ports used as examples in this invention, e.g. Token-Ring, Ethernet, xDSL, FDDI, ATM, USB, Modem, Legacy Serial and Legacy Parallel, each have different data formatting requirements at the MAC layer and different signaling requirements at the physical interface between the host and the specific I/O connection. The architecture of a Network Processor allows co-processing attachments to enhance processing speed and function. One or more Digital Signal Processors are added, either embedded or attached through an external co-processing bus, to the core of the Network Processor and are used to provide programmable physical layer services. One such service is the Fast Link Pulse signaling used for Auto-Negotiation between Ethernet Phy devices. The signaling convention defined by this standard allows different speed Ethernet devices, i.e. 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps, to attach to the same physical port. Provided that there is some signaling convention defined to allow the host interface to detect the attachment and characteristics of the I/O device, then the NP with DSP can automatically configure itself to communicate with that device.
More than one DSP or a multi-ported DSP can be added to handle concurrent operations to multiple I/O ports. Other signaling services can be programmed into the DSP as they become standardized, including Plug'n Play, allowing OEM companies to support new I/O interfaces as soon as they are defined by the industry, independent of application specific hardware activity.
While the invention has been described in combination with embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing teachings. Accordingly, the invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations as fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Red Wings' Quincey may have fractured cheek bone
Mar 16, 2013, 2:16 AM EDT
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Kyle Quincey will remain in Edmonton with what could be a fractured cheek bone.
Quincey, 27, was hit by the puck in the third period of Friday's 3-2 overtime win against the Edmonton Oilers, as per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.
"Docs want him to stay here; they don't want any pressure, so they'll get him looked at," Detroit's head coach Mike Babcock told MLive.com.
"There's no X-ray, I can't believe that."
This could perhaps open the door of opportunity for defenseman Ian White, who was again scratched from the Red Wings lineup.
The veteran blue liner has expressed frustration with being kept out of the lineup – playing only twice in the team's last 10 games – while stressing the importance of staying positive at the same time.
In the final year of a two-year, $5.75 million contract with the Red Wings, White insists that he hasn't asked for a trade out of Detroit.
The Red Wings are in Vancouver Saturday to play the Canucks.
