Knitting with Icelandic Wool Saint Martin`s Press Inc.
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
One of the best known types of yarn, Icelandic wool or Lopi is used to make sweaters that have a long-lasting and classic appeal. This 100 per cent pure wool yarn is lighter, warmer, and more water-resistant than yarns from elsewhere, as the long-coated native Icelandic sheep have developed over time to ensure as much protection as possible from the harsh northern climate, giving the wool its special properties. With over sixty-five gorgeous designs, there are patterns for a range of garments for the whole family - from variations on the traditional Icelandic yoked sweaters to smaller projects such as woolly hats, socks, and scarves, to stunning lacy garments and other more contemporary designs - all knit in different weights of Icelandic wool. For all of the patterns complete step-by-step instructions are paired with easy-to-follow lace and colour knitting charts, and all the stitches, techniques, and abbreviations you need - including how to work two-colour knitting - and more are in the back. Beautifully photographed in Iceland and created in collaboration with Iceland's largest wool manufacturer, Istex, the book includes a brief history on the emergence of the Icelandic Lopi sweater and the Icelandic wool industry. "Knitting with Icelandic Wool" is an exceptional resource for all knitters looking for new designs or traditional styles with a modern twist to make in this uniquely lightweight bulky yarn known as Lopi.

UFCW Backs Bill To Ban Wal-Mart Bank from Michigan
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Leaders of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 951 based here are praising recently introduced legislation to restrict industrial banks, including one proposed by retail giant Wal-Mart, from opening branches in Michigan.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Leaders of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 951 based here are praising recently introduced legislation to restrict industrial banks, including one proposed by retail giant Wal-Mart, from opening branches in Michigan.
State Rep. John Gleason, the bill's sponsor, said Michigan should not allow industrial banks, called industrial loan companies (ILCs) to open shop because they escape a level of supervision that other banks must face.
Under Gleason's proposed legislation, out-of-state industrial banks would be carved out of Michigan's definition of an out-of-state bank, which would keep state officials from authorizing an industrial bank to open branches in Michigan.
"My legislation will protect Michigan banks and Michigan consumers from out-of-state banks that don't have to play by the same rules," Gleason said in a statement. "Owners of ILCs avoid regulations that apply to owners of full-service banks. If the state of Utah is irresponsible enough to let a company like Wal-Mart operate an ILC in their state, that is their business -- but we will not allow it to happen here."
The proposed legislation in Michigan comes as Wal-Mart's application to open an industrial bank in Utah attracts heightened attention both in Washington from some in Congress, and in the offices of banks fearful of competing with the retail powerhouse.
Industrial banks are state-chartered and state-regulated, and fall under the supervision of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Commercial companies may own them because federal laws that bar non-financial companies from engaging in banking activities do not classify them as banks.
The U.S. Federal Reserve has urged Congress to review a loophole in federal law that allows the commercial owners of industrial banks to escape a level of federal supervision.
"Michigan has a reciprocal banking agreement with Utah that would allow Wal-Mart to immediately open branches in this state, leaving working people and community banks exposed to the same predatory practices that have forced thousands of small retailers, convenience stores, grocers and other locally-owned small businesses to close their doors," said Robert Potter, president of UFCW Local 951, which opposes any expansion of Wal-Mart's dominance in the retailing sector.
"Wal-Mart's pattern is to enter local communities and use predatory pricing and other techniques to run its competitors into the ground," Potter said. "There is no reason to believe this company will not engage in the same practices to build a new empire in banking. 'Wal-Mart Bank' would likely prey on low-income workers and drive small community banks out of business."
Current Michigan law gives ILCs chartered in about 20 states -- including Utah -- the right to open branches here. In return, these states give state-chartered banks the same privilege. With a highly favorable banking code, Utah has become home to 60 percent of the nation's ILCs -- and its state treasury has profited from an extremely high ILC tax rate.
"Once chartered in Utah, 'Wal-Mart bank' would immediately be permitted to branch into Michigan and leverage its market strength to run small banks out of business," Potter said. "We simply can't let Wal-Mart run our state's financial institutions out of business like they have done to thousands of convenience stores, grocers, pharmacies, hardware stores, florists and countless other small businesses."
UFCW 951's members are employed by Meijer, Kroger, Rite Aid, Plumb's, and Farmer Jack, among other retailers.

Summer Road Trip - Highway Food Stop #1: Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q
photo by Christina Staalstrom
Packing into the car and driving 1,300 miles to see friends up North for a summer break is in theory a lot of fun. But as the dullness of flat highway hits, conversation shifts to stopping for eats. Then, just as you cross the state line on I-95 and enter Georgia, there's a sign for Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q at Exit 3.
Any restaurant that has a dish called "pork three ways" has to be good. With a side of fried okra, coleslaw, and French fries, this heart attack-inducing meal is bound to keep you going for hours -- or put you in a food coma. The ribs are tender and the pulled pork moist, but the sliced pork is shockingly bland. Even the last is impressive when drenched with the "smoky sweet" sauce, one of five flavors available at each table. We devoured the entire plate.
As for the sides, fried okra was our favorite, but anything deep-fried is good. Fast, friendly service and clean bathrooms were also key here. The bonus of getting a refill and "to go" cups for beverages made this a perfect pit stop for the long haul.

KUALA LUMPUR: Property transactions dropped in the first nine months of last year, said the Valuation and Property Services Department, confirming observations by real estate professionals that the market is slowing down.
Although the number of transactions was lower, there was an upward trajectory in value, an indication of rising prices.
The department's deputy director-general Faizan Abdul Rahman said the residential sub-sector, which accounted for about 64% of the total property transactions, saw a 14% drop from a year earlier, with average house prices exceeding RM300,000.
Faizan was speaking at the 7th Malaysian Property Summit 2014 organised by theAssociation of Valuers, Property Managers, Estate Agents and Property Consultantsyesterday.
Faizan said the commercial sub-sector saw a drop of 22.3%, compared with the previous year.
The industrial, agricultural and development sub-sectors saw reductions of about 20%, 13.6% and 8.3%, respectively.
The total number of transactions for the first nine months fell to 280,820 valued at almost RM106bil, compared with 328,692 in 2012 worth RM107bil.
Transactions in 2010 surpassed the RM100bil mark as a result of an extremely buoyant market, which started in 2009. It has been on an upward trajectory since then.
On the effect of the various tightening measures, organising chairman Choy Yue Kwong said they would curb excessive speculation.
Choy, who is Rahim and Co (Selangor) Sdn Bhd managing director, said the measures would discourage speculators from using bank loans to finance their purchases.
"The curbs are slowly taking effect. The measures will have a significant impact on speculation, especially speculators who depend on bank loans," he said.
Choy added that the real property gains tax (RPGT), however, will have little effect on curbing speculative activities in the market.
He said the RPGT should have been introduced earlier when house prices were lowerand prices had appreciated faster, resulting in higher profit margins.
Prices had skyrocketed now, squeezing profit margins and rendering the RPGT less effective, he added.
CH Williams Talhar & Wong Sdn Bhd managing director Foo Gee Jen, meanwhile, said there was a mismatch between the demand for real estate and supply.
"There is an oversupply of high-end residential property in the market. Prices have gone up too much over the last few years. What people really need is affordably priced lower-to-mid-range housing," said Foo.
"Developers will be pressured to cater to this market segment that is most in need. Having said that, the bright side is that the market is expected to stabilise with more realistic prices over the year."

The tiny BackupBoxx is a powerful backup solution aimed at novices, but might be overkill for some homes.
You can't overstress the importance of backing up your precious files, not just business records and school reports but also irreplaceable files such as family photos. If you can't afford to lose everything in a tech disaster then you can afford to invest some time and money in a decent backup regime.
At $595 for 2 terabytes of storage, BackupBoxx is a set-and-forget home or small office backup system. Developed by Australian tech pioneer Bernhard Kirschner, it's targeted at senior citizens. You simply install the backup software on your computer (Windows or Mac) and then plug the BackupBoxx into your broadband modem via Ethernet – it's a palm-sized Linux PC with attached USB storage (2TB or 4TB suppled).
The backup software running on your computer automatically detects the BackupBoxx on your home network and starts backing up all the files on C: drive, keeping previous versions in case you need an old copy of a document. To recover your files you can access the BackupBoxx via the Network section of My Computer.
As a safety precaution you can't manually copy files to the BackupBoxx, nor can you edit or delete files, so it doesn't double as a general Network Attached Storage drive. It doesn't rely on traditional network shares so your backed-up data is much less likely to be attacked by viruses or ransomware which are known to target Network Attached Storage drives.
Unlike most backup solutions, BackupBoxx also makes a complete backup copy of Windows, letting you wind back the clock and restore your computer to a previous point if a virus or other tech disaster strikes your computer. You can blow everything away andperform what's known as a bare-metal restore.
In many ways BackupBoxx attempts to replicate Apple's easy to use Time Machine features which can also run across your home network. It's a great idea, but unfortunately it might be a little too expensive for its intended market of novice senior citizen computer owners.
Under the bonnet
The BackupBoxx is actually a SolidRun CuBox-i mini computer – a silent, low-powered device running a stripped-down version of Linux optimised to run as a backup server. The end user doesn't need to get their hands dirty in Linux, but they can access the BackupBoxx via a web browser to check on it. There's also a BackupBoxx icon in the system tray of your computer, which changes colour depending on the status of your backups. The box is designed to support multiple computers around your home.
Plugging in the BackupBoxx and installing the desktop software is pretty straight forward, although it can be daunting for absolute beginners if you want to change any of the default settings or configure your email settings so the box can notify you of errors. Whatever your age, if you really are a tech novice you might want the assistance of a tech-savvy friend to help set things up.
The great thing about the BackupBoxx is that there's help at hand if you get stuck. It comes with 60 days of free tech support to get you up and running, along with 60 days of free data protection monitoring.
During this time the BackupBoxx support team will notify you, first by email then by phone, if your backups fall more than seven days behind. This level of customer care certainly helps BackupBoxx stand out from the competition and goes some way to justifying the steep $595 price tag.
After 60 days you've the option to pay $250 per year for ongoing data protection monitoring. This seems a little pricey considering that it's targeted at seniors. Once you've got the BackupBoxx running smoothly, and set to email you (or a friend) if it encounters trouble, then that $250 might be better put towards cloud storage for the added protection of offsite backups.
Microsoft's Office 365 subscription service might be a good choice, as it comes with desktop backup software and unlimited cloud storage. Without the extra protection of offsite storage your data is still vulnerable to fire and flood, which might claim both your computer and the BackupBoxx.
What's the verdict?
BackupBoxx is a great idea for people who can't afford to lose data, but it's a business-grade solution at SMB prices yet aimed at novice consumers. It's the Rolls-Royce solution which offers a great level of data protection but won't suit every budget.
If you know what you're doing, you could cobble together a simple backup solution for much less using an off-the-shelf Network Attached Storage drive and consumer-grade backup software. You might even use dedicated hardware like a CuBox-i or Raspberry Pi. If this already crossed your mind then the BackupBoxx perhaps isn't for you.
The BackupBoxx is aimed at people who don't feel confident to build their own backup solution and who want someone to hold their hand. The price seems high but it isn't unreasonable when you consider the hardware supplied, the advanced backup features included and the exceptional customer support. You're better protected than the cheaper alternatives, but whether it's right for you depends on the price you put on protecting your data from disaster.

Man with 30 arrests in Bexar County gets 30-year sentence
Updated 4:49 pm, Wednesday, August 5, 2015
SAN ANTONIO — A man who has been arrested in Bexar County 30 times since the age of 19 will serve 30 years in prison, according to the Bexar County District Attorney's Office.
Antoine Henderson, 27, was sentenced in the 175th District Court Wednesday to three decades behind bars following convictions on five separate drugs charges and an additional charge of unlawful use of a vehicle, according to the DA.
Henderson has been in and out of the Bexar County Jail for the better part of a decade.
RELATED: San Antonio man, 27, has been to jail 30 times, charged with 80 crimes
News Channel
Since his first arrest in 2007, Henderson has been booked into the Bexar County Jail a total of 30 times and charged with 80 crimes, most of which were associated with violence, weapons and narcotics, according to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
Henderson most recently agreed to a plea deal on the charges for which he was sentenced Wednesday on May 11 that would have sent him to prison for only three years.
However, he missed a sentencing hearing on June 16.
Paperwork for the deal noted that if he did not show up to court for sentencing, he would be subject to the full range of punishment for the crimes for which he was accused.

Friday, when the Summer Games open in Athens, NBC will add new wrinkles: more graphics to let viewers digest the parade of athletes from 202 nations and letting the staged drama speak for itself.
With the advantage of taped coverage, NBC will try to show each national delegation. But because they'll enter according to the order of the Greek alphabet — the USA will come between the United Arab Emirates and Japan — NBC also will use a continuous graphic explaining who's on tap. And rather than having co-hosts Bob Costas and Katie Couric rattle off nuggets about each country, says NBC executive vice president David Neal, viewers will get that via "pop-up" graphics. Says Neal: "That way, Bob and Katie aren't put in a position to just be in a big download."
Costas' calls of the ceremony can be funny. Like during the 2002 Winter Games opening, when he noted that actors symbolizing ice appeared menacing: "It's never good to be pursued by giant icicles who are up to no good." It's a weird assignment, having to tread the line between reverence and realism. So Friday, Costas and Couric will briefly introduce acts, "then let the music and pictures carry the story," says Neal.
Debut: Monday night, Michele Tafoya starts in a job that's getting pretty famous: She's the latest sideline reporter for ABC's Monday Night Football.
Tafoya replaces Lisa Guerrero, who posed in lingerie for a magazine and found her gaffes ridiculed even on ESPN. In Tafoya, MNF will have a TV sports veteran who has covered a variety of sports at ESPN and CBS.
And she's interested in more than sports. "I'm immensely fascinated by politics," says Tafoya, who "came close to ending up with a job in human resources at Rockwell International" after getting a master's in business administration from the University of Southern California in 1991. Now, she says, "I spend more time watching C-Span and MSNBC than ESPN. My bosses will probably kill me for saying that."
Mainly, she says, her business education "finalized the notion that I didn't want to be in corporate America." But, as her tactful answer suggests, she knows she didn't completely escape: "I'd have to go over the spreadsheets, but I think ABC should keep Monday Night Football at any cost."
Changes: ESPN won't renew the contract of reporter David Aldridge, whose NBA duties will be picked up by Stephen A. Smith and Marc Stein. ... Steve Cyphers, who two years ago quit his job as an ESPN reporter to be a middle school teacher in Colorado, returns to ESPN this month. ... Nike had been mum about ad plans for Olympian Marion Jones, who's being investigated by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Not anymore: Nike is running new ads with Jones.
Spice rack: ABC's Bill Walton, saw something he liked as the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team played Turkey in Istanbul on Sunday — "I like the tassels on the bottom of the nets. That should become an international standard." ... Fox baseball announcer Joe Buck, during the Mets-Cardinals game Saturday, noted "the band Spinal Tap went through drummers the way the Mets go through third basemen."

Sorry, Zynga shareholders, but you did it to yourselves.
There were warning flags aplenty about the social games maker's management, business model, slowing revenue growth and inflated valuation prior to the company's initial public offering. Enough investors with sound judgment heeded these warnings to make Zynga's December 2011 IPO a big flop, with shares finishing the first day of trading below the $10 offer price.
But in the weeks after, many investors though Zynga's dwindling share price represented some sort of "value" buy because it was trading below the offer price. So a lot of people jumped in at $8 or $9.
Even worse, other investors scooped up shares of Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) when it soared (relatively speaking) above $15 in early March on -- prepare for tremendous stupidity here -- the news that Facebook was finally going public. Facebook.
A few months later, and Zynga was reporting atrocious earnings, with meager revenue growth and a nearly $23 million loss in the quarter ended June 30.
This led to the biggest day of trading since the IPO, with nearly 100 million shares trading hands and Zynga's stock price plummeting 37% to 3.18. Shares on Monday were trading at 2.75.
What's killing Zynga, and what eventually will kill Facebook, is 1) people eventually will tire of the trivial activities offered by each company -- seriously, how long can paying money to buy livestock for your FarmVille enterprise remain a thrill? -- and 2) neither company so far has been able to figure out how to monetize their growing ranks of mobile users.
And if this Wall Street Journal article is any indication, Zynga is a long way from solving the mobile revenue puzzle. Don't take my word for it; just read it. Does anyone see a glimmer of hope in there? The Zynga braintrust is grasping at straws regarding a mobile strategy.
Bottom line: I don't think the company will ever make mobile work for it, which basically means I think Zynga is doomed.

Costco Sues Calif. City
Retailer says South San Francisco should have approved plans for gas station.
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO -- Big-box retailer Costco is suing the City of South San Francisco over the city's rejection of plans for a gas station and over-flow parking lot at its location there.
The City Council rejected the store's application for a use permit in January. It also refused to certify the negative declaration of environmental impact, which said that a full-scale environmental report was not needed. City Attorney Steve Mattas said the council had environmental concerns, felt enough gas stations already served the area, according to the San Mateo Times.
Costco claims the rejection "was arbitrary and capricious" and that the council based its decision on speculation, not facts, since the city's own staff recommended approving the project.
In November 2002, despite planning staff approval of the application, the Planning Commission turned down Costco. The council upheld the rejection of the application on January 22, 2003, despite the city staff's recommendation to approve the project. The staff said the project should be allowed because it is consistent with zoning in the area and the environmental impact would be minimal, according to court documents.
The council was concerned that an earthquake might trigger a fuel leak from underground tanks that would pollute the Bay. Costco maintained the underground gas tanks would be "built to comply with stringent requirements imposed by a variety of regulators," according to court documents.
The council also argued that there would be additional traffic from the gas station and overflow parking lot. The city staff's report indicated the project would add 2,600 cars a day. Costco said concerns about traffic are unfounded because the traffic generated from the gas station is from people who are already driving to the adjacent store to shop, the report said. The store also argues in court documents that the area is zoned for planned commercial, which allows for gas stations. But the council said that the gas station didn't fit in area that was zoned to "encourage development" of amenities such as restaurants.

Sharon Osbourne's Double Mastectomy Made Her Swear Off All Plastic Surgery

It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while all the pink we see on the players during NFL games in October mainly focuses our attention on how the disease affects women and what they can do about it, we should also keep in mind (or learn) that men, too, can contract breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, one in 1,000 men will fall victim to the disease, which claims the life of at least one man every day.

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but new research indicates that while it doesn't rhyme quite as well, an aspirin a day may ward off cancer.
This scenario, about not giving up or giving up in light of horrible circumstances, sounds like something out of one of Taylor Swift's songs. The singer got asked to prom by Kevin McGuire, a teen who is fighting cancer for the second time in his life.

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if some had encountered this problem. I just converted a physical disk to vhd using disk2vhd converter but when i imported it to the Virtual Machine i got a "Disk Read Error occured Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart" is it because i did not check the "System Reserved" when i was converting it? Thanks.

Yes. On Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 it stores the boot information on the System Reserved partition. This is originally separated from the rest of the OS to provide easy upgradablility with the BitLocker features.

Call of Duty 3 was the last one of the series I've played. I was skeptical regarding Advanced Warfare, but the reviews convinced me - well only the reviews. The game for me is really not good, the multi-player is not what I like to play and the campaign (I've played only one hour) for me not very motivating - the opponents are really not very "intelligent".
I've given the series a chance, but now I'm done with it.

The Birth of a Planet
by Emily Noy
Almost 14 billion years ago The Big Bang occurred. This event caused a huge amount of energy to be let loose into a small universe.
Scientists believe that almost immediately after The Big Bang stars formed. Stars form in temperatures less than 240 degrees Celsius below zero. They form in the dark inside of cold clouds of gas and dust.
When the stars ran out of fuel they exploded into supernovas, which released thousands of tons of carbon, oxygen and iron into space.
The atoms of the stars, dust and gas are attracted to each other by gravity and electrical force. These particles grow bigger and bigger and eventually create a planet. Planets grow when dust or objects collide with them.
Iron is the heaviest atom and it makes the centre of the planets. The lighter atoms, like hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and helium go to the surface. The planets were usually shaped like spheres because gravity pulled evenly in all directions.
The first planets formed around 14 billion years ago but some planets didn't. But the planets that go around our sun, including Earth, may have formed around 4.5 billion years ago. There are planets still forming today around other stars.
Our Solar System has nine planets that revolve around the Sun. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are made mostly of iron and are smaller and harder than other planets. They are close to the Sun so they are hotter. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune were formed farther away from the Sun so they are colder, larger and softer. They are made mostly of oxygen and are called 'gas giants'.
This is a video about the creation of stars and planets.
This is a picture of our planet Earth. We know a lot about it but we still have a lot to learn about the rest of the Universe.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the calibration of communication channel parameters in systems, including mesochronous systems, in which two (or more) components communicate via an interconnection link; and to the calibration needed to account for drift of conditions related to such parameters during operation of the communication channels.
2. Description of Related Art
In high-speed communication channels, including channels which are operated in a mesochronous manner, a transmitter and receiver are each locked to a specific phase relative to some global reference clock. The phase values of the transmitter and receiver which minimize the bit-error-rate of the communication channel may be determined in a number of ways. However, once these phase values are set, offsets due to system conditions (such as temperature effects on the propagation time of the wires in the link) will cause the chosen phase values to become non-optimal. Other parameters of the communication channel also drift due to changing system conditions.
It is therefore desirable to provide techniques to detect and compensate for the drift in parameters of a communication channel due to changing system conditions like these.
The present invention provides a system and method for setting a parameter of a communication channel, which allows for optimizing the parameter while efficiently tracking drift of properties of the channel. A communication channel includes a first component having a transmitter coupled to a normal signal source, and a second component having a receiver coupled to a normal signal destination. A communication link couples the first and second components. The communication system provides for setting an operation value for the parameter, which for example can include executing an exhaustive calibration sequence at initialization of the channel. The method and system of the present invention provides for tracking drift in the parameter by monitoring a signal on another channel that is characterized by drift relative to a reference, such as a reference clock, in amounts that correlate with drift in the parameter of communication channel relative to the reference, and to update, or indicate the need for updating, the operation value of the parameter in response to the monitoring function. The signal being monitored is provided in various ways according to embodiments of the invention, including by signals on channels that emulate the channel being monitored, by signals on another channel within a single communication bus, by signals on a channel that loops back to a component on the channel that generates it, or by signals that otherwise exhibit characteristics that correlate, whether causally or not, to the parameter being tracked on the channel.
In embodiments of the invention, the parameter is updated by executing a calibration sequence on the communication link. In other embodiments, the updating includes adjusting the operation value of the parameter as a function of the drift determined by monitoring the signal.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the parameter of the communication channel is the phase of one of the receive and transmit clocks for an input/output driver, where the phase establishes a sample timing point for a receiver, or a drive timing point for a transmitter. The monitoring function operates by comparing the phase of the signal with the phase of a reference clock. Because the signal being monitored drifts in phase by amounts that correlate with the drift in phase of the sample timing point or drive timing point of communication channel being adjusted, the relative phase changes can be relied upon to indicate the need for updating the operation value of the parameter.
The signal being monitored in order to track drift in various embodiments comprises a data transmission signal, for example, on another communication channel. The monitoring step, in some embodiments, includes detecting transitions in the data transmission, and comparing the detected transitions with transitions in the reference clock. In other embodiments, the monitored signal comprises a control signal used for controlling communications in the communication channel, such as a data strobe between the components using the communication channel. In yet other embodiments, the monitored signal comprises a signal taken from outside the communication channel that nonetheless can be relied upon for emulating drift in the parameter.
The invention is also embodied by an apparatus coupled with a driver for a communication channel. The apparatus includes memory to store the operation value of the parameter, logic to monitor a signal which has a characteristic that correlates with the parameter of the communication channel to track drift in the characteristic, and logic to indicate the need to update, or to update directly, the operation value based on the drift in the monitored signal.
An embodiment of the present invention comprises an interface for a communication bus. The interface includes a plurality of input/output drivers coupled with respective bi-directional links in the communication bus. The input/output drivers include a transmitter responsive to a transmit clock, which drives a signal on a corresponding link in the communication bus. Also, a receiver is included in the input/output driver, that is responsive to a receive clock. The receiver samples a signal on the corresponding link. A transmit clock generator and a receive clock generator are coupled respectively to the transmitter and the receiver, and to a reference clock. At least one of the transmit clock generator and the receive clock generator is adjustable in response to a phase control signal. The interface also includes a drift tracking circuit. The drift tracking circuit is coupled to a link carrying a monitored signal that is characterized by drift that correlates with drift in the communication bus. The drift tracking circuit includes a tracking clock generator that is coupled to the reference clock and generates a tracking clock. A phase detector is included in the drift tracking circuit, to track changes in phase between the tracking clock and transitions in the monitored signal. Logic in the drift tracking circuit monitors the changes in phase, and issues an indication that the phase control signal be updated to account for the changes in phase.
The receive clock generator and the transmit clock generator in some embodiments of the interface comprise a phase locked loop, coupled to the reference clock, which produces a set of output clocks that are some multiple of the input reference frequency. A mixer is coupled with the phase locked loop, and is responsive to the phase control signal to generate the transmit or receive clock, having an adjustable phase as indicated by the phase control signal. Also, memory coupled with the clock generator stores the phase control signal.
In yet other embodiments of the interface, calibration logic is included to determine the operation value of the phase control signal. The calibration logic is responsive to the indication from the drift tracking circuit, to re-calibrate the operation value of the phase control signal. Also, the calibration logic may be executed to initially set the operation value of the phase control signal, for example at start up of the interface.
Accordingly, the present invention provides for drift tracking based on data collected during normal operation of a communication channel, without relying upon periodic calibration sequences that remove the communication channel from its mission function. Thus, the present invention tracks drift of parameters of the communication channel, including mesochronous channels, while preserving overall throughput and latency characteristics of the link. The present invention is particularly suited to high speed communication channels, including chip-to-chip channels with links across traces on printed circuit boards, or other board level media, operating with system clocks over 100 MegaHertz, including clocks with frequencies in the range of 400 MegaHertz, and higher.
Other aspects and advantages of the present invention can be seen on review of the drawings, the detailed description and the claims, which follow.
A detailed description of embodiments of the present invention is provided with reference to the Figures.
A tracking circuit 45 on component 11 is coupled to a monitored signal MS on line 46. Line 46 represents a channel, which has a characteristic, such as the drift in phase, which correlates with drift in delay 50 in the communication channel across link 12. The tracking circuit 45 generates an indication on line 47 used to control the value in the phase register 48, which is coupled to the receive clock generator 49. The indication is generated when the drift in the monitored signal on line 46 reaches a predetermined level in some embodiments. In one embodiment, the tracking circuit 45 generates the indication on line 47 on each phase change of the monitored signal, and adjusts the phase control signal in phase register 48 in response to a function of the phase changes indicated by the drift tracking circuit 45. In another alternative, the indication on line 47 is provided to calibration resources, such as special purpose logic, a host processor executing calibration routines, or other resources, which execute a calibration sequence for the link 12 to update the phase control signal in phase register 48.
In the embodiment of
A tracking circuit 45 on component 10 is coupled to a monitored signal MS on line 46. Line 46 represents a channel, which has a characteristic such as the drift in phase, that correlates with drift of a parameter in the communication channel across link 12. The tracking circuit 45 generates an indication on line 47 used to control the transmit timing, which is coupled to the transmitter circuit 13. The indication is generated when the drift in the monitored signal on line 46 reaches a predetermined level in some embodiments.
The communication bus includes a plurality of communication channels that comprises a transmitter, a communication link and a receiver. For example, the communication bus includes a plurality of bi-directional data links represented by line 203, a plurality of bi-directional address links represented by line 204, and a plurality of bi-directional control links represented by line 205. In other embodiments, the communication bus comprises multidrop links, uni-directional links, or combinations of multidrop, uni-directional and bi-directional links.
The first integrated circuit 200 and the second integrated circuit 201 include interface circuits supporting the communication bus. For simplicity, an interface circuit for one of the bi-directional data links 203 on the communication bus is shown.
The interface includes an input/output driver 210. The input/output driver includes a transmitter 211 and a receiver 212. The transmitter 211 accepts input from a normal path used for the mission function of the first integrated circuit 200 and drives the corresponding data on the communication link 203. A transmit clock CLKT is coupled to the transmitter 211 and sets a drive timing point. A receiver (not shown) on the second integrated circuit 201 samples the data from the line 203 in response to a corresponding receive clock. The drive timing point on the transmitter 211 is set by calibration logic 213, using for example a calibration routine as described below, so that the receiver on the second integrated circuit 201 is able to capture correct data.
Likewise, a receive clock CLKR is coupled to the receiver 212, and sets a sample timing point. The sample timing point is set by the calibration logic 213, in cooperation with a transmitter (not shown) on the second integrated circuit 201 in exemplary embodiments.
The transmit clock and the receive clock are produced by clock generator circuits. The clock generator circuits include a phase locked loop 214, which produces a set of reference clocks, and supplies those clocks to mixers 215, 216, 217 in the interface. The mixer 215 is used for generating the transmit clock in response to a mixer control signal stored in register 218. The mixer 216 is used for generating the receive clock in response to a mixer control signal stored in register 219. In the illustrated embodiment, registers 218 and 219 are managed by the calibration logic 213. In alternative embodiments, the registers could be managed by higher-layer circuits which implement the equivalent of the calibration logic 213 in software.
The mixer 217 is used for generating a tracking clock TR-CLK, which is also based on the reference clock CTM so that tracking relative to the tracking clock TR-CLK is, thereby, tracking relative to the reference clock CTM in some embodiments. The tracking clock TR-CLK is supplied to a phase detector 228, which also receives as input a monitored signal from another channel 204 on the communication bus. In this example, the monitored signal is supplied on line 229 from the input to the receiver 227. The phase detector 228 includes a transition detector, so that transitions in the monitored signal and transitions in the tracking clock are utilized for detecting shifts in phase of the monitored signal. The output of the phase detector 228 is supplied to a counter 230, which counts up and counts down to follow shifts in phase. The output of the counter 230 is used as a phase control signal for the mixer 217. Monitor logic 231 is coupled to the counter 230, and issues indications to the calibration logic 213, in response to changes in the counter value.
Input/output drivers, like driver 210, are coupled to each of the links in the communication bus. The tracking circuit including the mixer 217, the phase detector 228, and the counter 230, can be repeated for each input/output driver, or shared amongst sets of input/output drivers on the communication bus, or shared among all the links on the bus, depending on level of accuracy needed, the environment of operation for the particular implementation, and other trade-offs.
The calibration logic 213 may include additional registers, such as registers storing edge values for use during calibration routines as described below, in addition to registers storing the operation value for each of the clocks. The registers 218 and 219 are loaded by the calibration logic 213 depending on the mode of operation.
Accordingly, the system shown in
According to the present invention, long-term variances in system timing parameters, such as time-of-flight of a data signal, can be detected. Based on this detection, various timing calibration adjustment processes can be initiated. For example, the present invention can be designed so that changes in phase in the tracking circuit of more than a threshold, for example changes of 10 percent, from the state recorded during an initial calibration, result in generation of an indication to the calibration logic that a re-calibration sequence should be executed. Alternatively, when the phase of the tracking clock is shifted by a threshold amount, a compensating adjustment could be made to the phase control values for the input/output driver being monitored.
Also, the data strobe I/O has calibrated transmit and receive clocks, generated by mixers 604 and 606 respectively, in response to operation value parameters stored in registers 605 and 607.
The link 650 is implemented in some implementations using the same transmission line design as used for the links 203 of the communication channels being adjusted. For example, the chip-to-chip bus is implemented using printed circuit board traces optimized for frequency, length, amplitude of the signal and other parameters. The loop back channel 650 uses the same or similar printed circuit board trace technology, and has a length of for example one-half the average length of the traces forming the channels in the bus, so that the round trip time of flight is close to the time of flight for signals on the bus.
In one advantageous embodiment of
In the embodiments described above, a communication channel is provided having an additional phase mixer, which generates a tracking clock, coupled to a phase detector. The phase detector circuit compares the alignment between the tracking clock and a monitored signal. The monitored signal can consist of either a looped back clock signal, a signal from the memory chip on the opposite end of the communication channel, one of the data bits transmitted on the channel, one of the control bits or address bits transmitted on the channel, or any other signal which correlates with the drift on the communication channel. The tracking circuit, which consists basically of a clock-data recovery control block for systems tracking timing parameters, processes the output of the phase detector and affects adjustments in a counter plus register circuit which controls the phase mixer that generates the tracking clock. A monitor circuit periodically compares the current value stored in the register, with previous values, and generates outputs based on that comparison. This output can be used simply to indicate that a re-calibration is required, or for real-time adjustment of the operation value of the parameter being monitored.
According to the present invention, communication systems are provided that track drift, while conserving resources of the communication channels being calibrated. The invention reduces the hardware and storage requirements needed for calibration, reduces the impact on bandwidth and throughput across the communication channel, and maintains accuracy of the operation values of the parameters being calibrated while using less of the resources of the communication channel. Also, the techniques of the present invention improve overall latency characteristics of the communication channel in changing operating conditions.
While the present invention is disclosed by reference to the preferred embodiments and examples detailed above, it is to be understood that these examples are intended in an illustrative rather than in a limiting sense. It is contemplated that modifications and combinations will readily occur to those skilled in the art, which modifications and combinations will be within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the following claims.

Brief overview
This is an opportunity to join one of the premier agencies in the South Manchester area where you will be working on a raft of well-known consumer & B2B brands. They boast a varied and engaging client portfolio that is added to all the time and pride themselves on an extremely low staff turnover.
The role
The most attractive element of this role is that you will work in a supportive environment, with an inspiring team who are all dedicated to the success and growth of this award-winning agency. To provide you with a flavour of the role, your duties will include; working as part of an account team to develop client proposals and implement PR activity; write press releases and 'selling-in' stories to journalists; support account managers and directors with client campaigns and projects; meet clients and journalists; identify feature, coverage and social media opportunities; write client and internal blogs; organise photography and events through to managing the social media presence of their respective clients.
What we're looking for
This opportunity will most likely suit a creative and innovative PR practitioner with a minimum nine to twelve months agency or in-house based PR experience where you have worked mainly on a mix of accounts. We're after someone who's lively and bursting with ideas, ambitious and keen to learn. We need someone who is organised, enthusiastic and who'll happily get stuck into everything from writing to brewing up. Someone who isn't afraid to put their ideas forward with passion and persuasion. It's essential you'll have a keen eye for a story and talent for writing compelling press releases and articles. Ideally, you'll also have a good grasp of the digital landscape and be able to work collaboratively with their in-house design, web, social and content teams.
What's on offer?
Over the past twenty years, this agency PR has been delivering game-changing PR to clients across the UK and beyond. As well as PR, they also deliver exceptional digital, design and web development, which is why we're after someone who understands how PR can amplify all the elements of a good marketing campaign. A salary of between £17,000 - £18,000, and we have dealt with this particular client on numerous occasions and have a credible insight into their culture, so please feel free to call Simon on 0161 425 7352.
