Wasson, Marina, Calif., Brian A. Box, Seabrook, N.H., Enno Wein, San Jose, Calif., and Charles A. Furciniti, Bedford, N.H. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "The exemplary embodiments provide a resilient integrated circuit. An exemplary IC comprises a plurality of composite circuit elements, a state machine element (SME), and a plurality of communication elements. Each composite circuit element comprises an element interface and a selected circuit element which may vary by element type, and which may be configurable. The state machine element assigns various functions based on element type, such as assigning a first configuration to a first element type, assigning a second configuration to a second element type, and providing a first data link for the corresponding assignments. In response to detection of a fault or failure, the state machine element re-assigns the first configuration to another composite circuit element and creates a second data link for performance of the same function. The assignment, routing, fault detection, and re-assignment and data re-routing can occur in real time for a wide variety of programs and algorithms, providing for the IC to continue the same functioning despite defects which may arise during operation." The patent application was filed on June 14, 2011 (13/160,345). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,446,166.PN.&OS=PN/8,446,166&RS=PN/8,446,166 Written by Kusum Sangma; edited by Anand Kumar. *** Schneider Electric IT Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 24 -- Schneider Electric IT, West Kingston, R.I., has been assigned a patent (8,446,040) developed by five co-inventors for a "system and method for allocating power to loads."
