Hello, new here. I'm wondering for those who live in SoCal if there's an easy way to get to Newport Beach, etc from Disneyland. I am traveling to Disneyland/California for the first time and would like to spend one of the afternoons we are there to see the Pacific Ocean since I never have. I was just going to rent a car since it's not that much, but was just wondering if there's any easy bus/train routes that make it easier to get there and back without me having to do the work and paying for a rental car. I'm staying at the Marriott next to the Convention Center.
Thanks for your input.

So, the Senate Democrats are trying to figure out how to change the filibuster rules so that Republicans can't (with their 47 seats) tie the chamber up in knots.
But, they don't want to change the rules so much that when they lose control of the Senate after the 2012 elections and the Democrats are in the minority they can't tie the Senate up in knots as they have been so ably taught to do by the Republicans.
Today is the first legislative day, but there appears to be (at this writing) no consensus among the majority Democrats how to do this. Oh, my. The clock is ticking. Whatever shall they do?
Stop. The. Clock.
By recessing at the end of each day, rather than adjourning at the end of each day, the clock effectively stops because the Senate will still be on its first legislative day.
This is not a new trick. In 1980 when, according to CNN, the late Sen. Robert Byrd was Majority Leader he stopped the clock and kept the Senate on its first legislative day from January 3 all the way to mid-June.
That's why bills sail through the House and get bogged down in the Senate.
I'm OK with that. Someone once said: "The nation never sleeps so soundly as when the Congress is in recess."
Or when the Senate is stuck on its first legislative day.

Chrome OS: Google's Chromium Arrives (Gallery)
The source code for Chrome OS, alias Chromium, the Linux-based operating system developed by Google, is now ready for download.
Having been announced months ago and followed up by many questions as to features, availability and supporting companies, Google's Chrome OS has now officially stepped into the operating system market. At first glance the completely Web- and browser-based platform doesn't quite meet expectations in terms of the great revolution it promised.
Google primarily sees its operating system deployed on secondary systems. In a webcast to accompany the launch, netbooks were all the talk. Google promises that devices running Chromium will be out by end of 2010. The devices should be somewhat larger than the usual netbooks with their maximum 12" display and should have a complete keyboard.

If you must have forms in your system then surely a couple of empty hand and a couple of weapon forms are enough!
In 7 Star Praying Mantis there are 83 forms. 40 of those are empty hand, 1 Chi Gung and the others are weapons.

IMO forms were modified and added on to. At some point someone said hey, we are forgetting the original forms what about history?
Then, the focus went back to memorizing multiple forms.
I honestly feel that's why WC became respected so quickly.

Second they need to stop trying to shoe horn certain outdated techniques into modern ideas. (example: the X-block, stop trying to use it as a knife defense.)
If you want to keep the outdated material, fine but at least point out that this or that technique was for use against things that are not very common place in todays society and are being kept around for historical reasons. (see point one).

Critical Review by Robert Brustein
SOURCE: Brustein, Robert. Review of As You Like It. The New Republic 221, no. 14 (4 October 1999): 35-6.
In the following review of Barry Edelstein's 1999 production of As You Like It at the Williamstown Theatre, Brustein focuses on the success of acclaimed film actress Gwyneth Paltrow in the role of Rosalind.
[In August, 1999], the Williamstown Theatre produced a version of As You Like It, staged by the new director of New York's Classic Stage Company, Barry Edelstein, and featuring Gwyneth Paltrow as Rosalind. I went for the same reason everybody else did, to see whether Paltrow could handle a major Shakespearean role.
Paltrow did not disappoint my expectations, though the production did a little. Having played both Romeo and Juliet in Shakespeare in Love, and having been shipwrecked on a strand at the end of that movie, presumably in preparation for playing Viola...

Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI) is the largest hospital in NHS Grampian, located on the Foresterhill site in Aberdeen.[1] ARI is a teaching hospital with around 900 inpatient beds, offering tertiary care for a population of over 600,000 across the North of Scotland. It offers all medical specialities with the exception of heart and liver transplants.
There are close links with the University of Aberdeen's medical school and there has been pioneering research in many fields, including the development of MRI and PET scanning.[2] A new PET scanner was installed in 2006.[3]
It has been one of the centres evaluating telemedicine equipment and developing services in Scotland.[4]
In 2013 a £110m emergency care centre development was completed.[5] This was the first time that the Foresterhill campus had hosted emergency and urgent care facilities in the same building, and 75% of the beds in the centre are single-occupancy.[6]
In February 2014 it was revealed that the hospital has a repairs backlog of £60million.[7]
On June 26, 2014 Finance Secretary John Swinney announced a £120 million investment for a new cancer centre and maternity hospital at ARI.[8]
From 2016 it will be one of 4 major trauma centres where specialist services are based as part of a new national major trauma network in Scotland.[9]
There are social workers that can be contacted in the hospital,[10] and a citizens advice office.[11]
The hospital is served by the volunteer run radio station, Grampian Hospital Radio.[12]

hen Herman Boone, the high school football coach played by Denzel Washington in "Remember the Titans," came to Mississippi State University's Colvard Student Union Ballroom Wednesday night, dozens of people were gathering outside hoping to get seats.
Using sliding panels, the ballroom can be subdivided into three smaller rooms labeled "M," "S" and "U," and the "U" room had been set aside for Boone and his audience. Then, 10 minutes before Boone was scheduled to speak, staff began moving putting the subdividing panels on the left side of the room away, and the many waiting outside began streaming into the "S" room. When seats ran out, many began sitting on the floor. One of them was Bobby Gordon, a redshirt freshman slated to begin playing football at MSU this spring.

Gear Review
Tammy Vanden Heuvel
Very disappointed
I have a love / hate relationship with these boots. I absolutely love how they wear and feel. They are the most comfortable pair of boots I've owned. On the other hand after having them for 2 years and hiking in Patagonia in Argentina on a typical day (rain,snow, sun) day in Patagonia - my feet started to get wet. Didn't think too much of it, but wondered why. Next trip a couple months later wore them backpacking in Montana and hit snow / rain mix at 7000+ feet. They totally gave out. I had to ring the water out of my socks by the time I got back to camp. Not fun to wear wet boots and wet socks when backpacking and the weather is now cold. Brrr. Had to make a stop after that trip before hitting Glacier to buy another pair of boots.
Hi Tammy,
Please send your boots back. The return policy guarantees your unconditional satisfaction, no matter how long you've had the boots.

You might ponder this with the sewing guy "Brady" under vendors. He is a wiz at sewing custom stuff up, crash bar bags, tool bags, document bags, custom gear bags, etc. If you could find the proper armored container, small pelican, etc., Brady could dream you up a shoulder holster for it or something, thigh pack like the SWAT guys wear, something. He is very affordable and has
totally anal attention to detail.
Consider that you are plowing ground here for others potentially with the same concern. I have the CPAP issue, and have helped other guys find or rig 12 volt equipment and alternate battery rigs on a budget for motorcycle camping. It never occurred to me to profit from it, I was always happy enough just helping out another rider or pointing them to the right sources. Heck, a guy on a Harley forum gave me some great ideas that I still use and share.
Turns out that there are lots of Harley types with the sleep disorder, go figger.
Link to Brady the sewing guy:
I would also have a look at Aerostich and Twisted Throttle, something container-wise or bag-wise might give you an idea, or might really lend itself to the situation.
First the Earth cooled. Next came rats, cockroaches and KLR's... and life was good.

This is a must while in Marrakech. While it is a busy place during the day, it really comes to life at night filled with thousands of people. Would recommend having drink at one of the rooftop terrace watching the world go by and eating at the stalls (we ate at number 1). Just beware when taking pictures or even just watching all performers including acrobats, monkey handlers, snake charmers etc...as well as people wearing traditional costumes as nothing is free.

The present invention relates to the positioning of a data strobe within a data valid window in a processor-based system that executes data read and write operations by accessing memory modules such as DIMMs (double in-line memory modules). In particular, the system and method described herein are adapted to accommodate the stringent requirements presented by DDR (double-data read) systems, which clock memory data at both the positive and negative edges of a data strobe (referred to as DQS) signal, and which are becoming more common in high-end computer systems.
DDR devices use a source-synchronous clocking mechanism (the DQS strobe) to transfer data between the DDR device and the memory controller. During a read access, the DDR device provides read data substantially aligned with the DQS data strobe, and the memory controller, such as a DDR SDRAM controller, delays the DQS data strobe by an amount determined to accommodate the appropriate setup and hold delays for the accessed device, thus allowing the requested data to be correctly captured. In a write operation, the memory controller coordinates the data storage so that it occurs within the data valid window.
A read operation is illustrated in
Generally, the "setup" time or period for a given device is the time required for that device to stabilize after receiving a command, data or other signal. In the case of a read request, typically there will be a read-data FIFO queue, and the setup time is the time needed by that FIFO (in particular, one or more flip-flops within that FIFO) to stabilize the data. The "hold" time or period is the time that the device (or the FIFO) is designed to keep the requested data available before the next data cycle.
For example, in the case of a read-data request for a DDR device, the relevant JEDEC standard (the Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM Specification JESD79—June 2000, which is incorporated herein by reference) specifies the setup and hold period durations for 133 MHz and 100 MHz system clocks. For example, it is appropriate if a setup and hold period in the aggregate amount to at least 35% of the data capture period. Thus, if the system runs at 100 MHz, the data capture period is 10 ns, so the setup/hold period is 3.5 ns. There are two such 3.5 ns periods for each 10 ns period in a DDR system, since data is clocked on both rising and falling edges of the system clock, i.e. in
The rising edge 155 of an appropriately delayed DQS strobe should occur no earlier than the minimum setup time required by the device in question, and before the end of the hold period.
However, care must be taken that the DQS is not delayed too much, or it might occur at or near the end of the hold period 114, as in
Ideally, the DQS is delayed as in
Not only does the setup take a certain amount of time, but the bits that make up a data word may take different paths from a memory device (e.g. a DIMM) through the system (even though they are all on the same bus), resulting in misalignment—i.e., different arrival times at the requesting device. Thus, as
The above factors can shrink the window in which the DQS can be issued and reliably capture the desired data. Because of the bits arriving at different times, the reliable data capture window may be reduced by 80-90%, in the present example resulting in, perhaps, a 400-500 ns window.
Current systems may use phase-locked loops (PLLs) or other mechanisms to compensate for circuit timing variations caused by PVT (process-voltage-temperature) differences. Such mechanisms will keep the system clock's frequency within the capture and tracking ranges of the PLL, but this does not solve the problem of timing a DQS strobe as discussed above.
A PLL is inappropriate to time a DQS strobe, in part because a PLL requires a constant clock signal (unlike a DQS strobe, which can stop between data transfers); and additionally, because a PLL is designed to minimize variations in signal frequencies (and hence timing differences), whereas a DQS strobe must be affirmatively delayed for correct timing with the data signals.
A delay line may be used for this purpose, i.e. to compensate for PVT in timing the DQS to track the setup and hold time periods. E.g., if the entire data signal 110 (including transition, setup and hold periods) takes 5 ns, then a fixed delay of about 2� ns would place the DQS near the center of the 3� ns window 116. This would delay the DQS rising edge 155 (see
A problem with attempting to specify a fixed delay period is that as the chip or circuit warms up under load, the delay period will lengthen, while the data window remains within tight parameters, while the "fixed" delay period typically may vary to a greater degree. In this case, a situation as illustrated in
Because of strict DDR timing requirements and faster computer systems in general, a system is needed that reliably increases the rate of data transfer operations while taking PVT variations into account. In particular, such a system is needed that can dynamically compensate for PVT changes, substantially in real time or as desired by a user, and ensure that data strobes are provided to a receiving device during the data valid window.
Once the problem of timing the DDR DIMM strobe with a data valid window is solved, as in the present application, a determination must be made of when to carry out a calibration operation, so that correct timing compensation can be achieved. In particular, the calibration operation must avoid corrupting data transfers, such as a read data capture, and should be carried out frequently enough to track potential or actual changes in propagation times. A system is needed that can accommodate both on-demand and automatically scheduled calibration operations.
An apparatus and method according to one embodiment of the present invention are implemented in a processor-based system by providing programmable delay line (PDL) on the DQS strobe line to a read data FIFO. The PDL includes a series of delay buffer elements, such that the more delay buffers that are selected, the longer the DQS strobe is delayed. The number of delay buffers selected is thus determined by what delay is needed to position the DQS in the data valid window for data provided to the read data FIFO.
This number of buffers can be selected by a user. However, an autocalibration subsystem is also described herein, which is configured to recalibrate delay time either at a predefined periodicity or at times selected by a user or by software, such as in response to temperature or voltage variations.
The autocalibration subsystem generates a clock signal and a pseudo-data signal, and determines the number of delay buffers needed to delay the DQS strobe until the end of the pseudo-data signal. This number is then adjusted downwards as needed to place the DQS strobe where desired in the data valid window, and is input to the actual PDL for the read data FIFO circuit.
The autocalibration mechanism can also be disabled, and a preselected delay value used in the actual PDL, if desired. Thus, a user may set a particular delay value, which remains unchanged until manually reset or reset by software at a later time.
Accordingly, the description of the present embodiment of the invention presents both a system that solves the problem of dynamic, real-time calibration of a data retrieval operation such that the data strobes are timed in the data valid windows.
A system according to the present invention allows several modes of operation of such a system to allow flexibility in its use and applications. Specifically, the modes of operation may include the execution of a calibration operation at any of several events, including: a timed event according to a predetermined schedule; a response to external factors such as change in temperature or sample voltage; and a manual calibration trigger, i.e. a calibration operation initiated by a user, either by a real-time interaction with a computer system or via software.
The processor 210 is connected to a local device control circuitry 240 (also referred to as a "host bridge"), which includes circuitry that controls data and command exchanges with local devices such as the display 220 via an accelerated graphics processor (AGP) 250 and memory 260, which may in a typical system will include multiple DIMMs and/or other suitable memory modules or media.
The local device control circuitry 240 is connected to a peripheral device control circuit 270 via a bus such as PCI bus 280.
The local device control circuitry 340 may in many respects include conventional or known circuitry (with the addition of the inventive features described below), but may in particular incorporate features of the system controller (e.g., the "Northbridge"—i.e. AMD-761™ or 762™ —controller) circuits of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD). The peripheral device control circuit 270 may likewise in most respects be conventional or known circuitry, but may incorporate features of AMD's peripheral bus controllers (e.g., the "Southbridge" or AMD-766™ controller).
The local device control subsystem 240 includes a memory controller 290 and conventional subsystems 295 including a bus interface unit (BIU) 300, which communicates via processor bus 310 with the processor(s) 210. In the case of an AMD system, the processor(s) may be one or more AMD-K7™ processors (connected to a subsystem 240 via one or more system buses), while the bus 310 may be AMD's S2K™ bus, which is a widely known and used bus. Other processors and buses are usable in this setting.
The subsystems 295 also include a conventional AGP (accelerated graphics processor) logic 320 (which may comprise, e.g., a graphics card); a graphics adapter table (GART) 330; and a PCI host bridge circuit 340 connected to the PCI bus 280, and configured to control access to the bus 280 and to the peripheral device control 270. Control 270 in turn includes logic and circuitry to control disk drives, e.g. DMA (direct memory access) engines, serial ports and so on.
The subsystems 295 communicate with the memory controller 290, and in particular with a read data FIFO 350 of the memory controller 290, which provides data to them in response to data read requests. The memory controller 290 further includes compensation circuitry 360 in communication with a configuration table 370. These features are described below in connection with FIG. 5.
The memory controller 290 is driven by a system clock 380, which is passed through a PLL (phase-locked loop) circuit 390 to stabilize the clock frequency over PVT variations. As shown in
A system and method according to the present invention will be described with respect to a read operation, but is equally applicable to write operations and any other computer operations where synchronization between two signals is required (e.g. data and data strobe).
The autoadjust control 410 includes a counter 470, a delay count generator 480 and a detector 490, whose operations are described below. The autoadjust control 410 is driven by both of the clock signals (1� and 2�, i.e. doubled) from the PLL 390.
In the setting of a processor-based system, in practice there will typically be many circuits distributed around the edge of a chip (e.g. the local device control 240 shown in FIG. 4), which in a preferred implementation is formed on a single semiconductor chip. That is, the pin-outs for the various bits being transferred to and from DIMMs are distributed around the edge of the chip, and associated with each set of pins is the I/O circuitry for the respective bits.
For instance, in
Each delay compensation circuit COMP1-COMP9 may be substantially identical to the compensation circuitry 360, with the addition of another actual PDL in each case, so that upper and lower nibbles of a byte can be individually delay-compensated. Thus, each circuit COMP1-COMP9 includes an upper PDL module such as module 700 and a lower PDL module such as module 710, to handle the upper and lower bits, respectively, of a data byte. A calibration PDL such as PDL 720 is associated with each of the pairs of (upper and lower) PDL modules. In this example, the PDL 720 and its associated circuitry may be identical to the calibration PDL 420 (and associated circuitry) in
The PDL modules 700, 710 and 720 may thus be regarded as a logical set of delay circuits, in this case with one calibration delay circuit for two actual delay circuits. If one PDL is configured to process the data strobe for a full byte of data, then a logical set could include just one actual delay circuit and one calibration delay circuit. Alternatively, whether the actual delay circuits handle the strobes for one nibble of data, one byte of data or more, the ratio of calibration delay circuits to actual delay circuits may be varied as desired (e.g. multiple actual delay circuits may derived their calibration information from a single calibration delay circuit).
Each delay compensation circuit COMP1-COMP9 is configured in a manner similar to COMP1, with the respective calibration PDLs being position physically close to the modules 700 and 710, so that the calibration PDLs and their associated PDL modules experience similar environments, minimizing differences in PVT (especially voltage and temperature) or other variables that may affect electrical propagation characteristics.
Sets of I/O pins P1-P9 are coupled to the respective delay compensation circuits COMP1-COMP9. The number of pins in each pin set is determined by the number of bits required by the signals handled by the accessed memory, which in turn depends in part upon the type of memory (e.g. �4, �8, etc.). In this embodiment, each pin set should include sufficient pins to carry signals for the upper and lower nibbles of data, and thus delay compensation circuits COMP1-COMP8 carry sufficient DQS signals to accommodate a total word size of 64 bits, with the COMP9 signals relating to the DQS strobes for ECC data. The pins P1-P9 communicate with DIMMs or other memory via a memory bus such as DDR memory bus 730.
The configuration table 370 communicates with each delay compensation circuit COMP1-COMP9, both via a common bus 740 and via point-to-point buses B1-B9. The common bus 740 handles variables 1-5 of the configuration table discussed below, while the point-to-point buses B1-B9 are used for variables 69 of the configuration table. Thus, there are nine separate sets of values for variables 6-9—one set of values for each of the delay compensation circuits COMP1-COMP9—while there is one common set of values for the variables 1-5, used by all of the delay compensation circuits COMP1-COMP9.
Other layouts are suitable and can incorporate the advantages of the present invention. For instance, as mentioned above there may be one, several or many PDL modules per calibration PDL, depending upon the local temperature and voltage variability (the lower the variability, the fewer calibration PDLs are needed). Alternatively, there may be more than one calibration PDL for a given circuit, and the results of the different PDLs may be averaged, weighted or separately selected based upon predetermined criteria.
Calibration Methods
Thus, the PDL 440 provides a variable delay time for the DQS strobe. The delay time to be used at a given time in the operation of the system can be selected by providing the PDL 440 with a user- or software-generated actual delay value, or by using the autocalibration procedure described below to generate an empirically determined appropriate delay time. In either case, the delay time to be used is input as a MUX select to the PDL 440, and as described below this effectively causes the DQS input to be delayed by an amount of time corresponding to the MUX select value.
The remainder of the compensation circuitry 360 (other than the actual PDL 440) in
Three approaches are presented to generating this MUX select signal:
The circuitry of
A method for generating the calculated delay value in a real-time situation is then described, followed by a discussion of specifically how this value is used to delay a DQS data strobe for a data read.
Definitions of the Configuration Table Variables
The following nine variables have values that are stored in fields of the configuration table 370. As noted above, in the present embodiment variables 1-5 are common to all of the delay compensation circuits (COMP1-COMP9 shown in FIG. 7), while variables 6-9 are particular to each delay compensation circuit.
These are precise definitions for these variables as actually implemented in one embodiment of the invention. Many variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art which can accomplish the features of the invention.
The variables presented below support the multimode operation of the present invention, and the calibration operations are carried out in response to their respective values, as discussed below. Calibration operations are governed in part by software control, and in particular software or program modules that use the configuration table values should be stored in computer memory in a conventional fashion. The various modes of initiating the calibration operations are therefore implemented in such program modules, acting in conjunction with the hardware of the embodiments of the invention discussed herein.
1. SW_Recal (Software Recalibrate)
2. Use_Act_Dly (Use Actual Delay)
3. Auto_Cal_En (Autocalibration Enable)
4. Act_Dly_Inh (Actual Delay Inhibit)
5. Auto_Cal_Period (Autocalibration Period)
6. Clk_Dly (Clock Delay)
7. SW_Cal_Dly (Software Calibration Delay)
8. Cal_Dly (Calculated Delay)
9. Act_Dly (Actual Delay)
In the example discussed above, the delay elements 500-530 would thus have a delay value of substantially less than 3.5 ns, such as 50 picoseconds (ps). Other values are possible, but to be useful the delay values should be no more than about 50% of the valid data window, with smaller values giving more precise results for calibration. In the present example, the delay values are 50 ps/3.5 ns, or about 1.4% of the total data valid window. The smaller the delay value relative to the data valid window, the more iterations will be necessary to calibrate the appropriate delay, so there is a balance to be drawn between having the delay value so coarse that it's not useful, and so fine that it takes too many clock cycles to calibrate. This will be seen below in connection with the description of
The calibration PDL 420 shown in
A calibration operation begins at a scheduled or specifically selected time, as indicated at step 920 in FIG. 9. Referring now to
To balance this delay, the delay compensation circuit 265 is designed such that the delay inherent in the path through the PDL 420 (and a similar delay through the actual PDL 440) is matched by the delay in the path through the circuit 265. This can be done in a conventional fashion with circuit components having known delay values.
A signal Gen_Data (see lines 2A-2B of
The path taken by the Gen_Data signal should be configured so that it has a delay time closely matching that of the path taken by an actual data signal (i.e. from the corresponding DIMM to the read data FIFO 350), so that the calibration procedure using the calibration PDL 420 will be applicable to the circuit using the actual PDL 440, and the actual data strobe will be coordinated with the data from the DIMM so as to occur during the data valid window.
The Gen_Data signal is configured to have a predetermined length, such as two or three system clock cycles (at the 2�rate). The Gen_Clk signal is preferably driven one clock cycle (at the 2�rate) later than the Gen_Data signal, as shown at lines 4A-4B of
The counter 470 is initialized when a delay calibration operation is commenced, and at the same time a Gen_Data signal is generated (see step 930 of FIG. 9). Along with the generation of each new Gen_Data signal, the counter is incremented (driven by the rising edge of the core clock), as indicated at step 990 of FIG. 9.
The counter should have a range sufficient to count a number of delays that will add up to the predicted or empirically determined delay of an actual signal, and this range will be affected by the length of the delay times chosen for delay elements 500-530. Thus, for a 1.4% delay factor (as in the above example), a counter range of 0-72 would accommodate 100% of a data valid window, which should be sufficient for most situations. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a 7-bit counter is used, with a resulting counter range of 0-127 and a corresponding number (127 total) of delay elements 500, etc. to accommodate this counter range.
Note that the system clock provided to the calibration circuit is already PVT-compensated by the PLL 390 (see FIG. 5), and thus the clock frequency is substantially constant, within the range of accuracy of the PLL circuit. If a variable delay were not used to adjust the DQS strobe to the read data FIFO 350, then the uncompensated data and DQS signals would be very likely to get out of step with one another and the DQS would often miss the data valid window (whose size would be relatively constant, due to the PLL-compensated system clock). The present system gains the advantage of the system's PVT compensation by driving the calibration circuitry from the PLL-generated clock.
At time T0 in
At this time S0, Gen_Data has a value of "1" (see line 2A in FIG. 8A), and this is provided as the "D" input to flip-flop 430 (see FIG. 5 and step 960 of FIG. 9). Thus, the output of flip-flop 430 at this iteration is "1", which is provided as feedback to detector (e.g. a comparator) 490 of the auto-adjust circuit 410 (see FIG. 5 and step 970 of FIG. 9).
Since the detector 490 has not detected a zero value (see step 980 of
Since the counter value is now 1, the select signal input to MUX 540 (
Thus, the first sample time S0 of the Gen_Data signal occurs at a time S0≈T1 (S0 is not exactly T1, because of the inherent delay in the PDL circuit as discussed above). In the next iteration, the Gen_Data signal is sampled at a time S1≈T5+Δ, where Δ=1 reflects the number of buffer periods delay at this time (because the counter is at one).
The Gen_Data value is still "1" at this time S1 (see FIG. 8A), and thus the output of flip-flop 430 is 1, and the detector 490 does not detect a zero (see step 980 of FIG. 9). The method therefore proceeds again to step 950. Again, Gen_Data is regenerated, the counter is incremented to 2, and the Gen_Clk signal is delayed one more delay time before being passed through the MUX 540 as a "1" (since the counter now selects line 2 of the MUX, i.e. line 542 in
This causes the Gen_Data signal to be sampled at the flip-flop 430 at a time S2≈T9+Δ, where Δ=2 (i.e. the Δ value is now two delay periods long). In the example of
In the next iteration, the counter value is 3, so the time S3 at which Gen_Data is sampled (relative to its rising edge at time T13) is S3≈T3+Δ, where Δ=3 (i.e. the Δ value is now three delay periods long). In the example given, Gen_Data has by this time gone to zero, i.e. the sampling is done after Gen_Data's falling edge at time T14 (see lines 1B and 2B in FIG. 8B).
Accordingly, at step 980 the output of the flip-flop 430 is detected by detector 490 to be zero. The counter value that resulted in this zero output is "3", which is provided as input to the delay counter generator 480 (see FIG. 5), as indicated in step 1000 of FIG. 9.
The flip-flop 430 thus acts as a gate, allowing each value of Gen_Data through as it is triggered or clocked by the output of the calibration PDL 420. Other implementations, using one or more MUXes, transistor networks, flip-flop circuits or the like may be used, as long as this function is met.
The value of the counter that led to a detection of the zero value for Gen_Data is set as the value for Clk_Dly in the configuration table 370. Each delay compensation circuit COMP1-COMP9 in
The value of SW_Cal_Dly in the configuration table 370 depends in part upon the clock speed of the system (e.g. whether it is 100 MHz, 133 MHz, and so on). For instance, if the user determines that for a 100 MHz clock speed in a DDR system, the desired DQS strobe time for a resultant 3.5 ns data valid window is 2.05 ns after the 0.5 ns initial transition 111 (see FIG. 1), then the value for SW Cal_Dly will be about 2.05 ns/5 ns=41%. In this case, SW_Cal_Dly will be set to 0.41.
The 2.05 ns delay is an empirically determined delay time, i.e. it is determined from an actual implementation of a system, given the circuit design parameters, board layout, etc. A different system design will in general have a different DQS delay requirement, though in general for a given clock speed the size of the data valid window will be roughly the same across systems, and thus the required delay times for different systems will be similar.
For a 133 MHz DDR system, the data valid window will be smaller, namely about 3.75 ns instead of 5 ns. If it is determined (as for one system implemented by applicant) that the desired delay time is 1.5625 ns, then the delay value for SW_Cal_Dly will be 1.5625/3.5=41.7%. If the desired delay time were 1.5 ns, then SW_Cal_Dly would be given a value of 1.5/3.75=40%, and so on.
At step 1010, the calculated delay value Cal_Dly is now generated, which is accomplished for the variables as defined simply by multiplying Clk_Dly (i.e. the value of the counter that led to a detection of the zero value for Gen_Data) by SW_Cal_Dly. This yields a number of delay elements 500-530 in the actual PDL 440 that the DQS strobe should traverse to delay it sufficiently that it reaches the read data FIFO 350 during the data valid window for incoming data.
The number of delay elements selected must be an integer in this embodiment, and thus the calculated value for Cal_Dly can be truncated, or rounded up or down as desired. The finer the gradation of delays (i.e. the more numerous the delay elements in the calibration and actual PDL circuits, and the shorter the delay time for each element), the less error will be introduced by the truncation or rounding operation.
As an alternative embodiment, the actual PDL 440 and the calibration PDL 420 may have different numbers of delay elements 500, etc., and the above procedure can accommodate this by multiplying the empirically determined value Clk_Dly by the correct ratio. For instance, if the actual PDL has twice as many delay elements (with each delay element causing half the delay time) as the calibration PDL, Clk_Dly (or the SW_Cal_Dly) would be multiplied by two to accommodate this.
Use of the Calculated Delay Value and Actual Delay Value in Strobing Data in Real Time
As mentioned above, in a preferred embodiment the actual PDL 440 is essentially identical to the calibration PDL 420 (see FIG. 6), except that the actual PDL 440 receives its input from the Act_Dly register 460 rather than from the counter 470. Thus, when the Cal_Dly value is provided as the MUX select to the actual PDL 440, the DQS strobe is not output until it has traversed a number of delay elements corresponding to this Cal_Dly value. The actual PDL thus automatically delays the DQS strobe by an amount which correctly positions it within the data valid window.
The name "Act_Dly_Inh" (actual delay inhibit) here refers to the fact that when the Act_Dly value is to be used, the actual delay register 460 is inhibited from updating using the Cal_Dly value. Thus, Act_Dly_Inh is set to 1 when the Act_Dly value is to be used, which causes the output of AND gate 492 to go low, which causes line 0 (i.e. the Act_Dly value) to be selected at MUX 450 as in the input to the actual delay register 460.
If the Auto_Cal trigger is high, this causes Cal_Dly on line 10 f MUX 450 to be selected (if Act_Dly_Inh is low), and output to (and latched at) the Act_Dly register 460. This will occur only when the Auto_Cal_En bit is set high.
The normal setting (default value) for the Auto_Cal trigger should be low, i.e. 0, so that the default selection for MUX 450 is line 0, where Act_Dly is connected. Thus, the Auto_Cal trigger will be 0 unless Auto_Cal_En is 1 and a new calibration procedure has been executed. Once the new Cal_Dly value is latched into the Act_Dly register 460, the Auto_Cal trigger is driven low again.
This Cal_Dly value can, as noted above, be recalibrated automatically at a frequency set in software. However, if recalibration is carried out while a read operation is pending, this could corrupt the data capture operation, so the system should be configured to update the Act_Dly register 460 with new calibration values only when no read operations are taking place. In general, this will provide sufficient opportunities for the system to recalibrate as often as necessary to track voltage, temperature or other variations.
The recalibration procedure can also be carried out only at times specified by a user or in software, e.g. when particular operations take place (boot-up, large data transfers, etc.) or when voltage or temperature fluctuate past a predefined point, and so on.
Alternatively, as indicated above, the autocalibration procedure can be bypassed altogether by setting the Auto_Cal_En bit to zero and setting the Act_Dly_Inh bit to one. This will cause the output of AND gate 492 to be low, which is used to select Act_Dly as the signal (on line 0) passed by MUX 450 to the actual PDL register 460, which is then used by the actual PDL 440. The Act_Dly value can be set by the user as desired, or it can be set or reset by software.
The Act_Dly register 460 is updated in response to signals on its enable input E as shown in FIG. 5. This can be done either when Use_Act_Dly is set to "1" or at times specified by software, such as at the times indicated by Auto_Cal_Period or at other times generated in software. At such times, an Auto_Cal trigger can be generated, which is input to an AND gate 492, whose other input is the inverse of Act_Dly_Inh. Thus, the output of AND gate 492 will be high only if the Act_Dly_Inh bit is low and an autocalibration trigger is present.
This output is used as an input to an OR gate 494, whose other input is the Use_Act_Dly value. Thus, when either of this inputs is 1, a high signal appears on the enable line E of the Act_Dly register 460, which is then updated with the selected value (Cal_Dly or Act_Dly) at the MUX 450.
Other variations on this circuitry are possible, and still can accomplish the periodic calibration, software-selected calibration and Act_Dly override operations described.
The above description has been directed to a read operation. It is equally applicable to a write operation and other memory access operations. However, the invention is more broadly applicable; it can be used in situations where two signals need to be presented to a device at predetermined times relative to one another.
Thus, in the general case the actual signal circuit (here, the actual PDL and associated circuitry) is associated with a calibration circuit, which is preferably adjacent the actual circuit or at least is in an environment designed such that the calibration results will be applicable to the actual circuit.
By the use of a pseudo-signal (in the above example, the Gen_Data signal) that is similar in some respect to the actual expected signals (thus, the Gen_Data signal and actual data signals may have the same length, or have lengths that are different by a known factor), the calibration circuit can determine the offset necessary to generate a properly timed arrival of the two signals. This offset is then provided to the actual circuit, which thereafter uses it to govern the delivery of the actual signals.
While the above embodiment contemplates the use of a clock signal driven by a PLL, this feature also may be altered. If a non-PLL clock is used, in fact, the calibration operation will work as described. In an actual computer system, it is unlikely that a non-PLL clock would be used, but in the broader application of coordinating signal arrival times, it will often be irrelevant whether the clock signal has been phase-locked or not.
Generally, an embodiment of the invention may be as a multimode circuit that coordinates the arrival of a first signal with a second signal, where the second signal travels through a given data path. (In the examples discussed herein, the first signal may be a DQS strobe and the second signal may be a data signal.) Calibration for the first signal is achieved either through a calibration procedure or through selection of a predetermined value (e.g. the Act_Dly value), and the calibration procedure may be either at selected intervals or at user- or software-driven times. Logic (hardware and/or software) is provided to select among the different modes of calibration (e.g. one of two automatic calibration procedures or the use of the predetermined value).
Thus generalized, it can be seen that the present invention can be applied to various systems, including networks, video circuits, audio circuits, and in general to circuits where coordination between signals is desired.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Republican Gov. Bill Haslam says Tennessee could design its own health insurance exchange required under Democratic President Barack Obama's health care law, but resistance in the GOP-controlled General Assembly may cause the state to hand that power off to the federal government.
State-run health exchange faces GOP roadblock
States have until Friday to inform the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services if they plan to set up their own health insurance markets, and Haslam's decision could come down to the wire.
The governor opposes the new health care law but said he can see reasons for not deferring the exchange to federal government.
"There are a lot of benefits to the state running it ourselves, because we're going to run anything better than the federal government," he said.
But Haslam also acknowledged that it would be tough to get the Republican-controlled Legislature to approve a state exchange.
"Politically, it will be difficult," he said. "As somebody who's always said that closer-to-home government is the better, that's why I probably lean toward doing it."
Because some states like Tennessee were lagging on this issue, the federal government gave them until December to submit the details on a state-run exchange.
House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick, R-Chattanooga, said there isn't much interest among Republicans to take ownership of a key element of Obama's health care law. The GOP gained supermajorities in both chambers of the General Assembly last week.
"We'd be more likely to throw it back to the federal government to have them clean up their own mess," McCormick said.
"This thing is going to be a headache for a lot of people in my opinion, and my question is whether I as a state representative want to take a beating on that when I didn't agree with setting the whole program up in the first place."
House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner of Nashville said his preference would be for the state to run the exchange, but he fears one created by the Republican-dominated Legislature would seek to undermine the Obama plan.
"I think what they'll try to do is skin it down as much as they can," he said, adding that the state mismanaging such a program would be worse than the federal government running it.
Open enrollment for exchange plans is scheduled to start next October, and coverage will be effective Jan. 1, 2014.
Former U.S. Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn., has spoken in favor of states creating their own exchanges, noting that was originally a Republican idea.

I got this candle in Sugar Rush because I love scented candles, and regarded the charm as merely a bonus. First of all, I can only smell it if I am within one foot of it. Very, very lightly scented. No throw whatsoever. The charm I got was a horseshoe that came on what is basically a piece of green sewing thread. It's "adjustable" but I am very afraid of ripping it because it's so flimsy. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this to a friend.1
Firstly, there was A LOT of hype behind this candle as a bonus add on in Octobers box, only to be let down. This candle has a very faint smell, nothing worthy of its high price. The "charm" that comes in the candle as an additional surprise, is similar to something I got out of one of those claw machines for 50cents when I was 5. Save your money!2
I purchased the bella j. charm candle right from my Instagram account! I really liked that idea! My candle was Sugar Rush which has a very light fresh scent. The charm appeared soon after I had the candle lit. It was a cute little gold plated purple charm. The candle scent is nice but I will not purchase this scent again. I like a stronger odor when I burn my candles.4
I have this candle in my bedroom. It fills the whole room ( which is rather large for a bedroom ) with a very nice scent. The wax burns evenly, but the wick does not. I have needed to trim down the wick about every other use. Also, the charm is a super cute concept, but was pretty cheap looking. I threward mine out right after I opened it. All in all, nice candle, nice novelty gift item, but there are better candles for the money.3
I was extremely disappointed with the candle. I got the rose sent which was good but when burning it wasnt strong enough to even fill a room. Then the "jewelry" that was inside was a JOKE! Cheapest thing I have ever seen. I got a gold/ green stone on a sting like necklace. SOOOO CHEAP. You can get better out of a vending machine!1
This is such a waste of a match to even light this candle. I love the idea of the gamble of what charm will you get in your candle!? Is it a $10 or $1000 charm?! well bet your money that it is neither. In reality you get a charm on a piece of dental floss worth about ten cents. Save your match and your money and do not even consider buying this candle....1

He also took the title off possibly the worst champion in circus act Jess Willard. And was invovled in weak era of heavyweights.
And never defended the title for 3 YEARS. and comeback and was beaten by tunney twice.
Dempsey was a great fighter, but i don't really see what all the fuse is about.
I don't think Jack's really overrated anymore, probably because the generation that overrated him the most has been dying out (not to sound callous about that sort of thing).
Out of curiosity, do you share the same opinion of Jack Johnson being overrated? He also drew the color line once he was champ and had lackluster defenses.

The authors designed the collection of reports to demonstrate the interrelationships of human and ecosystem productivity, as well as the interrelationships of species, climate, and landscape. By properly managing ecosystems, they say, we are also managing their potential to harm or help society. The variability of the natural world demands equal creativity and flexibility in considering a range of complementary solutions to environmental problems.
The Special Issue tackles five major topics of concern:
Ecologists have predicted that species will move out of their historic ranges as climate changes and their old territories become inhospitable. This is already occurring. Past predictions that species would seek out historic temperature conditions by moving up latitudes, uphill, or into deeper waters have turned out to be too simple, as species movements have proven to be idiosyncratic. Because some species can move and cope with change more easily than others, relationships between species are changing, sometimes in ways that threaten viability, as interdependent species are separated in time and space.
Ecosystem functionality
Living things have powerful influences on the lands and waters they occupy. As existing ecosystems unravel, we are seeing the chemistry and hydrology of the physical environment change, with further feedback effects on the ecosystem. Ecosystem changes, in turn, feed back to climate.
Ecosystem Services
Impacts on natural systems have direct consequences for crop and seafood production, water quality and availability, storm damage, and fire intensity. Working with rather than against, ecosystems may help society to adapt

Flickering on GeForce FX - NVIDIA needs your help

But that chat was over a month ago and i've seen nothing from Nvidia since. This is alarming given:
a) The number of people who recognise the problem and are reporting it here and at eVGA.
b) The simple repro cases people have posted here (Blinky especially).
c) Nvidia have seen the problem and have an affected setup.
Given that I was able to rid myself of the flicker by switching to a completely digital setup ( DVI-D to LCD ), my suspicion is that the fault lies outside the GPU and is a problem with the card itself. So given Nvidias silence I suspect the problem is more significant than I originally feared.
Given the price on these parts, I am amazed that Nvidia haven't provided any feedback or an explanation let alone a fix in over a month. If they don't get their finger out, I can only imagine that they have decided to tough it out and hope that the problem will go away...
