A method for self-moderating bus arbitration for access to a common bus is provided. The method may include receiving, by a bus arbiter, a request from a master device, wherein the received request includes a priority value set by the master device. The method may also include identifying the priority value from the received transaction request. The method may then include determining an insertion point within a priority table based on comparing the identified priority value to a table entry priority value associated with each table entry within the priority table. The method may further include inserting a new entry into the priority table based on the determined insertion point. The method may also include identifying a highest priority entry within the priority table. The method may then include serving the identified highest priority entry.

The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to accessing status information. One example apparatus comprises a host and a memory device coupled to the host. The memory device includes a controller configured to provide, to a status arbiter, a status signal indicating whether a status register of the controller contains generated status information. Responsive to the status signal indicating that the status register contains the generated status information, the controller can also provide the status information from the controller to the status arbiter via a status intermediary.

A communication system includes a communication apparatus comprising a plurality of first connectors; a controlling apparatus that comprises a plurality of second connectors; a first gathering unit that gathers first identifiers for the respective communication cables coupled to the plurality of first connectors of the communication apparatus; a second gathering unit that gathers second identifiers for the respective communication cables coupled to the plurality of second connectors of the controlling apparatus; and a connection normality determining unit that determines whether or not the communication cables that connect between the controlling apparatus and the communication apparatus are connected properly, by comparing the first identifiers with the second identifiers.

A conducted electrical weapon (CEW) launches wire-tethered electrodes from multiple cartridges to provide a current through a human or animal target to impede locomotion of the target. The CEW includes a handle and one or more deployment units. A handle and each deployment unit include a processing circuit and memory. The processing circuit of a handle may communicate with the processing circuit of the one or more deployment units. The processing circuit in a deployment unit may confirm receipt of a message from the processing circuit in a handle. A handle may provide operation and usage data to a deployment unit for storage. A handle may receive data from a deployment unit.
