Title: The Innovations of Lloyd W Gauthier

Introduction

Lloyd W Gauthier is a notable inventor based in Austin, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of technology, holding a total of 15 patents. His work primarily focuses on improving hardware efficiency and memory systems.

Latest Patents

One of Gauthier's latest patents is the "Scalable virtual timer architecture for efficiently implementing multiple hardware timers with minimal silicon overhead." This innovative system allows for the implementation of multiple hardware timers while minimizing silicon usage. The design utilizes a content addressable memory to store the initial state of a free-running counter and the desired count duration for each virtual timer. When the stored value aligns with the current state of the counter, a terminal count is generated for the virtual timer. Another significant patent is related to "Pseudo-concurrency between a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory on the same data bus." This system enhances memory access efficiency by allowing concurrent operations between volatile and non-volatile memories.
