Title: David C. Moxley and His Patented Memory and Bus Innovations.

Introduction

David C. Moxley is an inventor associated with Irmo, South Carolina, and NCR Corporation. His work includes patented approaches to high-speed computer bus design and memory systems that compensate for defective memory cells. He is credited with 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Moxley’s listed patents address challenges in computer hardware design and reliability.

“High Speed Bus Branches with Compact Physical Spacing” describes a peripheral bus designed to connect many devices within a computer enclosure while reducing signal reflections. It combines short electrical branch lengths with longer serpentine wiring paths between adjacent branches. This design provides the spacing recommended for SCSI connections in a more compact physical layout.

“Memory System Having an Alternate Memory” describes a system that uses alternate memory to replace data affected by defective cells in primary memory. Its byte memory substitutes for bytes with multiple bit errors, while its bit memory replaces individual erroneous bits. A mapping memory directs access between the primary and alternate memory, and the design limits mapping requirements by using memory devices with either row defects or column defects.

Career Highlights

Moxley’s listed inventions focus on practical improvements to computer systems. His bus design addresses the competing needs of compact device placement and reliable high-speed signaling, while his memory system provides a structured way to compensate for certain memory defects.
