Latest Patents
Ehrlich's latest patents include a method and apparatus for software features synchronization between software systems. This innovation introduces a feature coordination interface between the Operating System (OS) and a Special Purpose Processor (SPP). Both the OS and SPP maintain a list of bit masks, identified by word numbers, where an associated bit is set in an associated bit mask if the OS or SPP supports a feature identified by the bit. During initialization, the OS transfers each of its bit masks to the SPP, where features are compared. In response, the SPP sends each of its corresponding bit masks back to the OS, along with an error indication if the OS does not support a feature required by the SPP. The OS then compares its features with those of the SPP and enters an error shutdown process if it has received an error indication from the SPP or if the SPP does not support a feature required by the OS.
