Great, now you're going to piss off my dog, too? Thanks Google!

Of course it is.
Even "sed" (the text filtering utility) is a programming language.
If you have mechanisms for comparison, branching and buffering, you are dealing with a programming language.
Simply contact the account manager that has been assigned to you. It's no problem at all to contact Google if you're actually bringing in revenue for them.
The last thing Apple wants is for any tablet to be identified as and referred to as an iPad.
Unless people will go to the store and ask for "an iPad" even when they don't specifically mean the tablet by Apple.
I like the old fashion network cables that is stable, secured, and fast. Wireless is only for portable devices and far away.
You say "only for portable devices" like that isn't 80% of computing these days.
I honestly don't understand why people would buy a "smart" TV instead of a monitor, surround sound speakers, and plug it in to a laptop or computer. How many people really use OTA broadcasts nowadays?
Yeah, because computers aren't susceptible to attacks at all. Everyone knows there's nothing more secure than keeping an internet-connected computer running 24/7 in your house.
I can turn off HbbTV support on my Smart TV, no problem. In fact I had disabled it even before I realized it could be a security hazard, as it also slows down booting and channel switching, while providing no benefit to me whatsoever.
The geographical limitations of me buying an app from the iStore killed it for me.
Geographical? What? You do know the App Store isn't an actual store in the mall, right?
It's funny how little difference there is between what Facebook's servers are doing and the NSA's. I wonder who has more info on you.
That's why the iphone flopped when Apple decided it wouldn't support flash in an era where flash was pretty important.
But you see, it really wasn't that important at all. Flash was mainly used for 3 things: ads, video and games. Video and games the iPhone could do fine and ads nobody wants anyway.
It would be very different for real web stuff, as people can just install another browser on their devices. I think there would be quite a backlash amongst both developers and the general public if a vendor suddenly decides to artificially limit the capabilities of their web browser. In a way, that is what Microsoft is doing by adopting new features so slowly and their market share is but a fraction of what it used to be. People want to be on the platform that works.
But the larger view is its a catch-22; most developers won't use features that aren't widely available cross-platform -- so any major closed platform that sees those features as a threat simply can refuse to implement them, and most developers will in turn avoid using those features.
When I'm developing for the web, I don't even bother to look at what new-fangled nonsense Chrome has just released. My baseline is to only use features that are widely supported.
The difference between what's widely supported and what's new-fangled is fading with IE's decreasing popularity though. The world in which non of the new stuff was actually usable is long gone. Can you release a web app that uses Web Audio right now and you would serve about 80% of the market, including iPhones and iPads.

One of the advantages of progressive government in New York City these days is that the occasional actions and pronouncements of the city council provide a certain entertainment value to outsiders. Of course, this is easy for The Scrapbook to say, since we are located 225 miles from Gotham and can afford to laugh at the antics of New York's elected officials. But it must be said: For comic relief, if for nothing else, the city council of New York is now almost as reliable as the Berkeley, California, city council.
Is the Bronx now a nuclear-free zone? Does Brooklyn boycott lettuce? We don't know. But as of last week, we do know that the city council of New York celebrated the 100th birthday of the "wrongfully" executed Soviet atomic spy Ethel Rosenberg with official recognition of her life, works, and "bravery"—and framed proclamations, complete with embossed seal and signatures of council members.
Of course, from The Scrapbook's perspective, this is beyond parody. The New York Post ran a photograph of Rosenberg's two sons, Robert and Michael Meeropol, holding those aforementioned proclamations, surrounded by beaming council members. Over the decades, the Meeropols have waged a relentless campaign to transform their parents from convicted spies into left-wing heroes, but with mixed results. The Soviet archives have long since confirmed that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were, in fact, spies and traitors—and accordingly, the Meeropols have lowered their sights: No longer claiming that their parents were wrongfully convicted of espionage, they now argue that their mother, at least, should not have been put to death.
From a human perspective, The Scrapbook can appreciate the instinct of the Meeropols to champion their parents' cause—even if one parent, mother Ethel, chose to transform her young sons into orphans rather than betray her Soviet masters. What is less understandable is the persistence of belief—on the left, in the press, especially in the academy, and in the face of all legal, forensic, and archival evidence—that Ethel and Julius Rosenberg did not betray their country in the service of a tyranny unmatched in human history. Reasonable people can argue about whether the Rosenbergs should have been executed; they cannot, however, claim the Rosenbergs were innocent.
Something of this willful ignorance—and historic incoherence—was reflected in the words of one bumptious council member, Daniel Dromm (D-Queens), who explained to the Post that "a lot of hysteria was created around anti-communism and how we had to defend our country, and these two people were traitors and we rushed to judgment and they were executed."
Not exactly, Councilman Dromm: The Rosenbergs were traitors, all right, but there was hardly a rush to judgment. And the Cold War was not some capricious cosmic joke. It was a serious, life-and-death, high-stakes confrontation between liberal democracy and Communist totalitarianism—and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, as Marxists like to say, were on the wrong side of history. No amount of belief in mythology can change the facts. Not even a framed city council proclamation.

Future Manufacturing is for anyone interested in applying new technologies to making physical products. By bringing together people with artisanal, digital manufacturing and creative design skills, the group exists to support collaboration between designers, makers, coders and traditional crafts(wo)men.
Crowd funding, cheap technology, and open source/networked collaboration have revolutionised digital creativity and created a whole ecosystem of start-ups and digital cottage industries. Now 3D-printing, CNC-machining, laser-cutting and other 'hard' technologies benefit from the same processes. We have reached the age of the downloadable product, of mass-customisation. Now, we can own the means of production. In a post-industrial, arguably post-capitalism, era, the way in which we design, prototype, fund and distribute products will change.
The group is open to hackers, coders, makers, knitters, artists, inventors, sculptors, designers, architects… to anyone involved or interested in the process of producing physical artefacts using digital technology.
Membership is open to everyone

The present invention relates generally to serial data transfer in a computer system, and more particularly to increasing the throughput of serial data in a computer system.
In many computer environments today, computers interface with external, peripheral devices, such as modems, scanners, and other computer systems, via a serial interface at a serial input/output port. Typical components of computer systems with serial device connections include a central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), and a serial controller. The RAM and ROM commonly store program information and data for the system, while the serial controller usually sends data to and receives data from the serial peripherals.
The serial controllers often reduce the amount of time the CPU needs to spend servicing the peripherals and thus reduce the amount of overhead these peripherals require, by only interrupting the CPU when data has been received at the controller or when the controller is ready to retrieve more data to be sent. Although this scheme reduces the amount of time spent `polling` the peripheral by the CPU to determine readiness of data reception or transmission, the CPU still must service the serial controller, which correspondingly causes other programs in operation by the CPU to be slowed. Further, when the data transfer rate between the serial controller and the CPU increases, these other programs are increasingly slowed.
One attempt to reduce the amount of overhead time associated with serial data transfer involves the use of a direct memory access (DMA) system. The DMA system typically includes a DMA interface coupled to the serial controller and correspondingly, the RAM, and is set up by a DMA channel in the CPU to handle the data transfers between the memory and serial devices without any intervention by the CPU. Usually, there is a programmable number of bytes that the DMA system can handle transferring before interrupting the CPU to indicate the completion of the transfer.
If the transferred data packets are of known length, then the above-identified system works in an efficient manner. However, when the data packets received are of unknown length, the above system does not operate as efficiently. This inefficiency occurs because, if the packet is of unknown length, some mechanism is required that will provide the length information to the DMA channel. This is typically addressed in a conventional DMA system by sending a fixed length data packet identified as a "send request" which contains the length of the packet waiting to be sent. This is then acknowledged with a known length packet. The CPU then sets up the DMA channel to receive the packet of the specified length. The problem with such a system is that the DMA channel has no way of knowing when the packet is complete unless the length of the packet is known ahead of time. In so doing, a DMA system in accordance with this method requires significant CPU overhead and wastes CPU time and channel bandwidth.
Another method involves synchronous transfer. In this case, a protocol, such as HDLC, automatically indicates the end of a packet and an interrupt can be generated by the serial channel when this occurs. In this case, typically the DMA channel is programmed to receive the largest possible packet. Thus, packet termination is signalled by the CPU via the serial port interrupt, rather than a DMA channel interrupt.
Accordingly, what is needed is a method and a system for receiving asynchronous data packets of unknown length without requiring such a handshaking scheme to reduce CPU overhead and allow for efficient and complete transfer of serial data to and from memory. The present invention addresses such a need.
The present invention provides for a method and system for increasing the throughput of serial data in a computer system when a data packet is of unknown length. The method and system includes initializing a first count register to count a length field of the data packet, the length field including a value indication of the length of the data packet. The method and system further includes storing a count for a minimum data portion in a second count register. Further, the data packet is received from a serial device of the computer system. The method and system further provides for transferring the length field to the RAM of the computer system and loading the count for the minimum data portion into the first count register to provide primary chaining of the first count register to the second count register. The method and system finally provides for comparing a minimum data packet length to the length value in the RAM to determine whether to utilize secondary chaining of the first count register with the second count register.
Through the use of a system in accordance with the present invention, the amount of polling is substantially eliminated and the CPU overhead is substantially reduced. Therefore through the use of the present invention the throughput of the system is maximized. In a preferred embodiment, no polling would be required because the minimum data packet size would be equal to the counts in the two count registers. These and other advantages of the aspects of the present invention will be more fully understood in conjunction with the following detailed description and accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a computer system in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of a portion of a DMA channel in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 illustrates portions of a serial data packet.
FIGS. 4(a), 4(b), and 5(a) are flow charts illustrating the operation of a system in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 6 illustrates a nine data byte packet that can be processed by a system in accordance with the present invention.
FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b) are flow charts illustrating the operation of a system in accordance with an alternate embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 8 illustrates an example of timing restraints for avoiding data loss in an alternate aspect of the present invention.
The present invention relates to an improvement in receiving a data packet of unknown length in a processing system. The following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention and is provided in the context of a patent application and its requirements. Various modifications to the preferred embodiment and the generic principles and features described herein will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a computer system 10 in accordance with the present invention. The computer system 10 includes a ROM 12 and RAM 14 coupled to a CPU 16 via a bus 17. CPU 16 is further coupled to serial communications controller (SCC) 18. The CPU 16 further includes a DMA channel 21. The DMA channel 21 is in turn coupled to DMA interface 19. The DMA interface 19 is coupled to the ROM 12 and RAM 14 via bus 17. The DMA interface 19 acts to handle data transactions between RAM 14 and SCC 18 without intervention by the CPU 16. The SCC 18 acts to send and receive serial data to/from serial device 22. It should be appreciated that the DMA interface 19 acts as an interface for the necessary handshaking during data transfer between the serial communications controller 18 and the RAM 14. The physical locations for the DMA interface 19 include but are not limited to: in the CPU 16 in an embedded system, in a separate memory control application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and in the SCC 18, as is well appreciated by those skilled in the art. The DMA interface is only required if the SCC 18 does not have appropriate control signalling to support the DMA function directly.
One type of DMA channel 21 includes only a single register to determine the length of an incoming data packet. A second type of DMA channel 21 is a chained type of DMA channel. In accordance with the present invention, a chained DMA channel configuration is shown in FIG. 2. The DMA channel 21 includes two count registers DMA-- COUNT register 24 and DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26.
In this chained DMA channel configuration, the function of the count registers 24 and 26 in accordance with the present invention is to allow a minimum size of a data packet to be received without polling. As before mentioned, the DMA channel 21 interacts with DMA interface logic 19. The interface logic 19 preferably includes control logic components necessary for proper serial data transfer handling of a data packet with RAM 14, as is well appreciated by those skilled in the art.
An illustration of a data packet 28 is presented in FIG. 3. An indication of the length of a data portion 29 of the data packet 28 being received from serial device 22 (FIG. 1) is preferably included in a length field of the data packet 28, e.g., the first two bytes of data with byte N, the most significant byte (MSB), and byte N+1, the least significant byte (LSB), respectively. The data bytes, bytes N+2, N+3, N+4, and so on, of the data portion contain the serial data of the data packet 28. For purposes of illustration with the present invention, these data bytes are designated as separate portions, such as bytes N+2 and N+3 representing a minimum (Min) portion of the data packet 28, and byte N+4 and beyond representing a remains portion of the data packet 28 beyond the minimum portion. Further, although the length value in the length field has been described as a length of a data portion of a data packet, it could also include the number of bytes for the length field itself. Of course, appropriate adjustments to the below-described arithmetic operations would also be necessary to utilize proper primary and secondary chaining.
The flow charts of FIG. 4(a), 4(b) and 5(a) illustrate more particularly, preferred embodiments of the operation of the two registers, DMA-- COUNT register 24 and DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26, in conjunction with the CPU 16, in accordance with the present invention. Preferably, the method aspects as illustrated by the flow charts of FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) are stored in the ROM 12 (FIG. 1), as is well understood by those skilled in the art. Alternatively, of course, the method may be stored and supplied on any suitable computer storage medium, including an external floppy disk and executed from RAM 14.
As shown in FIG. 4(a), the operation begins when the CPU is ready to receive a data packet from a serial device 22, via step 30. The initialization of the DMA-- COUNT register 24 for counting the reception of a desired number of bytes, e.g., two, of incoming serial data occurs via step 32. Of course, the number of bytes chosen for the initialization of the DMA-- COUNT register 24 is system and protocol dependent, and preferably is equivalent to the length field, i.e., a number of bytes in a data packet that contain the length of the data portion of the data packet. The DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 is then initialized to a minimum value, for example, two, via step 34.
Referring back to FIG. 3, there is a 2 byte length field and 2 byte minimum (min) data portion and one byte remains data portion. Accordingly, the DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 is initialized to the minimum data portion of a packet, in this case, two, as above described. In another embodiment, the minimum data portion could, for example, be set such that the DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 is initialized to the smallest value as defined by the interrupt latency in the computer system, i.e., to guarantee interrupt service for the DMA channel 21 prior to receiving that number of bytes.
The address for storing the packet in the RAM 14 (FIG. 1) is then specified, via step 36, and the setup for the DMA interrupt occurs, via step 40. A variable for counting interrupts, IntCount, is set to a zero value via step 42, and the DMA is enabled via step 44 to complete the arming of the DMA to await the receipt of the length and minimum data of the data packet.
FIG. 4(b) illustrates one embodiment of an interrupt routine for handling the DMA interrupts based on the order of the interrupts received from the DMA. Of course, actual implementation of the ideas expressed by this diagram may vary upon need. The interrupts occur at designated points during the receipt of the data packet, as described in more detail with reference to FIG. 8. The handling routine begins with receipt of an interrupt, via step 46. A determination of whether the interrupt received is the first interrupt, i.e., whether the variable IntCount has a value of zero, is made via step 48. When the interrupt is the first interrupt, the length field, e.g., the first two bytes, of the data packet has been received, and the length value of the data packet, as contained in the length data and stored in RAM 14 is received, via step 50.
A determination of whether the length value is greater than the length of the minimum portion, i.e., the minimum data packet length, of the data packet is made via step 52. When the length value is greater than the minimum length, the difference between the actual length and the minimum length of the data packet is stored in the DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register, via step 54. The variable IntCount is set to one via step 56 before returning from the interrupt routine via step 58.
Upon receipt of an interrupt via step 46, again a check of the value of IntCount is made via step 48. Since the value is now at one (via step 56), the routine continues via step 60. The variable IntCount is then set to two via step 62, before returning from the interrupt routine. Upon the receipt of another interrupt via step 46, the IntCount value is now at two, and thus the routine continues via step 64 with the receipt of the entire packet. The DMA is cleared via step 66 before returning from the interrupt routine. When the length value is not greater than the minimum length, i.e., step 52 is negative, the process continues via step 62, as described above. Of course, in this situation, there is only the minimum data and no remains data to be received in step 64. In this case only two interrupts are received.
The generation of the interrupts with DMA channel 21 is described with reference to the flow diagram of FIG. 5(a). As shown in FIG. 5(a), the values for use with the DMA-- COUNT register 24 and DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 (set up via steps 32 and 34 of FIG. 4(a)), are received and an address for storing the data is received, via steps 70 and 72. Although, these two receiving steps are presented in a particular sequence, one of ordinary skill in the art readily recognizes that these two steps could be interchanged and that would be within the spirit and scope of the present invention. The enable signal (provided in step 44, FIG. 4(a)) is received, via step 74. The receipt of the data packet then begins with the receipt of the length field from the data packet, via step 76, which in a preferred embodiment, is two bytes.
Once the length field has been received, the count in the DMA-- COUNT register 24 has been reduced to zero, and an interrupt is generated, via step 78. The value from DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 is transferred to DMA-- COUNT register 24, via step 80, and the DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 is cleared, via step 82. Thus, the count of the minimum data portion is loaded from DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 into DMA-- COUNT register 24 (i.e, a primary chaining of DMA-- COUNT register 24 and DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 occurs) to allow more serial data to be received.
It should be appreciated that although steps 78, 80, and 82 are shown as separate steps in the flow diagram of hardware operations, they appear to the software as occurring substantially simultaneously.
The receipt of the data packet continues until the DMA-- COUNT register 24 has been reduced to zero, via step 84, and an interrupt is generated, via step 86. At this point, the routine of FIG. 4(b) preferably has determined whether the data packet exceeds the minimum length (via step 52). When the minimum length matches the actual length of the data packet, the receipt of the data packet is finished, via step 88.
When the data packet is longer than the minimum length, the DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 preferably receives the difference value (via step 54, FIG. (4(b)), while the data packet data is being received via step 84, and before an interrupt is generated upon completion, via step 86. When the data packet length is greater than the minimum length, the difference value stored in the DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 is transferred to DMA-- COUNT register 24, via step 90, to allow the remains of the data packet to be received. Thus, secondary chaining of register DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 to DMA-- COUNT register 24 occurs, and data transfer from the serial device 22 continues until the transfer is complete.
The DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 is cleared via step 92, and the remains of the data packet is received until the DMA-- COUNT register 24 is reduced to zero, via step 94. An interrupt is generated upon completion of the receipt of the data packet, via step 96, before the operation is completed.
In a preferred embodiment, receiving the data (e.g., steps 76, 84, or 94) occurs as presented in the flow diagram of FIG. 5(a). Receipt of data begins in step 100. Upon receipt of a complete byte via step 102, the byte of data is moved to RAM 14 at the designated address location (set in step 36, FIG. 4(a)), via step 104. The address location is updated, such as by incrementing the address location to the next address location, via step 106. The value in the DMA-- COUNT register 24 is then preferably decremented by one, via step 108. A determination of whether the DMA-- COUNT register 24 has been decremented to zero is made via step 110. The process of receiving a byte and transferring to memory is repeated until the DMA-- COUNT register 24 is reduced to zero. Of course, the address location could be updated by decrementing, and DMA-- COUNT may use two's complement counts and increment, as is understood by those skilled in the art.
Thus, for example, in step 76, the DMA-- COUNT register 24 is cleared after receipt of two bytes of data, i.e., the length field. In step 84, the DMA-- COUNT register 24 is next cleared after receipt of the minimum portion, e.g., two bytes. In step 94, the DMA-- COUNT register 24 is finally cleared after the remains of the data packet have been received.
With the present invention, the length of the data portion of the data packet being received is utilized to more efficiently handle reception of serial data. Accordingly, the chained data registers 24 and 26 utilize a difference value to allow the DMA channel 21 to process an entire data packet more efficiently.
Referring now to FIG. 6, a data packet is illustrated that has an overall length of nine data bytes. As has before been mentioned, in a preferred embodiment, the number of bytes in the length field is not included in the value of the minimum length. Thus, for example, if the system has a length field of 4, and a minimum data packet length of 4, the DMA-- COUNT register 24 will be initialized to receive the first four data bytes for the length field, and the next 4 bytes for the minimum portion will be set up for receipt through initialization of the DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 to a value of four.
Through secondary chaining of the DMA-- COUNT register 24 and the DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26, the last remains data bytes of the data portion will be received, since the difference value of one between the actual length of the data portion of the data packet, 5, and the minimum length of the data packet, 4, is provided to the DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26. The receipt of this data occurs with interrupts at the appropriate intervals, as above described. With the present invention, the DMA channel 21 is able to continue to automatically handle a full data packet. Such an ability to handle an entire data packet achieves a maximum possible throughput, substantially eliminates polling, and substantially reduces CPU overhead.
In another example, a situation where the minimum data packet length exceeds the actual length of the data packet is identified and handled. FIG. 7(a) is a flow diagram of the operation of the present invention in terms of the DMA interrupt handler routine, in which like numerals to FIG. 4(b) have been used to illustrate equivalent steps. As shown, the alternate embodiment differs from that of FIG. 4(b) by the inclusion of step 51, in which, after the length data is received, a determination of whether the length of the data packet is less than the minimum length is made. If so, the operation continues with polling of the DMA until the entire data packet is received, via step 53, as is well understood by those skilled in the art. Data is received via step 55, and the process continues with the clearing of the DMA channel, via step 66, as described above with reference to FIG. 4(b).
FIG. 7(b) presents a flow diagram of an alternate embodiment of the logic operations corresponding with the routine of FIG. 7(a) for the situation when the data packet length is less than the minimum length. The operation proceeds similarly to that of FIG. 5(a) and thus, like steps are labelled equivalently. Once the DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 has been cleared via step 82, the operation continues via step 83.
During and/or after step 83, the routine of FIG. 7(a) preferably has determined that the data packet length is shorter than the minimum length, via step 51. The logic routine must then wait for receipt of a byte of data or a software clear, via step 83. If a byte is received, the byte is moved to memory via step 104, as described with reference to FIG. 5(a). The operations then continue with the incrementing of the memory address and decrementing of the DMA-- COUNT register value, again as described above with reference to FIG. 5(a). Since the packet is shorter than the minimum length, the alternate embodiment waits for the software clear signal to occur upon determination of the end of packet via polling steps 53, 55, and 66 of FIG. 7A. Once the clear signal is received (as produced by step 66, FIG. 7A), the operation is completed.
Further, during the interrupt handling routine, it may be necessary to check for the running of the DMA channel 21 to determine if data has been received in buffers of the SCC 18 before the DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT register 26 has been updated with the difference value. Such checking may be necessary if there has been a delay for some reason in the routine, and is appropriately done during step 54, FIG. 4(b). If the DMA channel has already completed the minimum transfer, the difference value must be stored in DMA-- CHAIN-- COUNT and the DMA channel restarted. As long as the maximum latency time of the controller has not been exceeded, the DMA channel is suitably enabled to receive the data in the buffers, as well as any additional data in the data packet. Of course, preferably the minimum length has been chosen to be large enough to avoid such problems with the latency and to coincide with the real minimum length.
FIG. 8 illustrates an example 120 of the time restraints for properly checking for a running DMA channel to avoid losing data. As shown, length data for this example is received in the first two bytes of data. A minimum length is chosen as two, so that when an interrupt occurs (Int=0) the next two bytes of data are also received. For illustrative purposes, there are two buffers plus the receive shift register in the SCC which can receive data after another interrupt (Int=1) even though transferring data to RAM 14 will be delayed. Thus, as long as the DMA running check is performed and the DMA is restarted before the buffers are full i.e., before the maximum latency time has been exceeded (indicated by 122), the data in the buffers, as well as any additional data in the data packet, is properly received.
With the system of the present invention, several advantages over traditional polled (i.e., non-DMA) and standard DMA transfers are realized. In contrast to non-DMA transfers, the present invention uses only two or three interrupts, rather than one interrupt per byte. In contrast to DMA transfers with handshaking that use send request, acknowledge, and send data messages, in the present invention only one message is required, rather than the two incoming and one outgoing of standard DMA transfers.
Although the present invention has been described in accordance with the embodiments shown, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that there could be variations to the embodiment and those variations would be within the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, although the initialization steps and decision steps in the present invention are presented with a particular order, the sequence of steps may be altered while achieving the intended purposes of the present invention.
Accordingly, many modifications may be made by one of ordinary skill without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the following claims.

The ASUS PCE-AC66 802.11ac wireless PCIe adapter is currently the only wireless adapter I know of, that allows you to experience the wonders of 3-Stream IEEE 802.11ac Wi-Fi. It won't be the last, for sure, because the gains in wireless throughput are too good to pass up. There are several significant changes in the new 802.11ac standard, and upping the maximum allowable number of spatial streams is one of them. Theoretically, eight individual streams are supported by 802.11ac, but the new chips from Broadcom top out at three streams on a single IC. That's enough to push 1.3Gbps across the airwaves on the 5GHz Wi-Fi band, which is probably where the consumer devices will stay. There are several wireless adapters on the market that are capable of handling two streams, but right now the PCE-AC66 is alone at the top of the 802.11ac heap, with three streams and the data rates to match.

Mega Millions, a U.S. lottery spanning 42 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands, drew quite a bit of attention towards the end of March owing to its record-breaking jackpot of more than $650 million. The chances are you were not one of the lucky holders of the winning numbers, but rest assured you are not alone. A recent analysis performed by Bloomberg, using U.S. Census data, suggests that of the estimated $50 billion spent on lottery tickets in 2010, only $32.8 billion was returned in prize money. Using data from this analysis, we take a look at the states that spend the most on lottery tickets and which states see the highest and lowest payout ratios.
Massachusetts Reigns Supreme
With almost $4.5 billion in total ticket sales, Massachusetts ranks second when measured by absolute dollars spent on lottery tickets relative to the 43 states measured (the only state whose residents spend more on lottery tickets is New York, where lottery ticket sales are estimated at $6.8 billion). Due to differences in states' populations, annual lottery spending per adult offers a bit more insight into which states have more active lottery players. Interestingly enough, Massachusetts ranks the highest in terms of annual lottery spending per adult with an average $860.70 dropped on lottery tickets during a year. Georgia ranks second, with an average of $470.73 spent on lottery tickets per year, while New York ranks third, at $450.47. New Jersey and Maryland round out the top five with $387.28 and $386.05, respectively.
North Dakota Not Keen on Lottery Tickets
Residents of North Dakota are among the most frugal when it comes to the lottery, spending a paltry $46.72 per year, or only around 5% of the average amount spent in Massachusetts. Montana and Oklahoma are also among the lowest lottery spenders. Of the 43 states surveyed, residents in these states spend an average of $61.18 and $70.79, respectively, on lottery tickets during a year. Indeed, residents of certain states appear to be more inclined towards lottery spending.
Massachusetts Has the Highest Prize Payback Ratio
In addition to spending the most on lottery tickets, lottery players in Massachusetts also enjoy the highest prize payback ratio, at 71.9%. That is, of the almost $4.5 billion in total annual ticket sales, roughly $3.2 billion, or 71.9% of total annual ticket sales is returned to lottery participants in the form of prize money. With a payout ratio that high, it's no wonder residents of Massachusetts spend the most on lottery tickets.
In terms of prize payback ratio, Louisiana is the lowest ranked state, with only 51% of lottery ticket sales returned to lottery players as prize money. North Dakota ranked second-to-last, with a prize payback ratio of 51.8%, which perhaps explains the state's status as the lowest ranked state in total annual lottery spending per person.
The Bottom Line
Participating in state lotteries offers quite a bit of excitement for many people, largely due to the prospect of winning potentially life-changing amounts of prize money. If you are in it to win it, think about playing the lottery in states with a high prize payback ratio – it may end up paying off quite handsomely.

How is your XMLTYPE stored in the DB, as a CLOB or as a BINARY XML?

XML support is currently busted in v4. We know about this obviously and are working on a fix.
You're more than welcome to use Java 7 on version 3.2.20.09 until v4 is formally released.

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Cardinals interview former Eagles DC Juan Castillo
The Arizona Cardinals may not have a coach, but apparently that won't stop them from interviewing potential assistants.
According to CBS NFL insider Jason La Canfora, the team has checked in with former Eagles defensive coordinator and offensive line coach Juan Castillo.
Former Eagles OL coach/DC Juan Castillo interviewing with the Cardinals. Would imagine its for the OL spot vacated by Russ Grimm
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 9, 2013
Castillo was the Eagles' offensive line coach from 1998-2010, when he was moved into the defensive coordinator position. He was fired from that post in October 2012, though.
La Canfora notes the Cardinals' interest would likely be for his work with offensive linemen, as that is an area the team has struggled with for the better part of forever.
However, that they would be looking to add to the coaching staff without having a coach on board yet would seem like a questionable move.
