Abstract: Method and equipment for the thermal conditioning through free cooling of shelters for electronic assemblies (in particular for cellular telephone system, in which an inspection of the relative humidity degree in the conditioning air is made . A control logic unit, based on temperature and relative humidity conditions inside the shelter (1) to be conditioned, determines the selection of an external air flow to enter into the shelter (1) in order to assure an effective cooling while maintaining the relative humidity degree under a pre-set limit. Therefore, the invention enables to avoid the disadvantage that the air relative humidity determines phenomena of electronic assembly corrosion. At the same time, the invention enables to reach the advantages typical of free cooling systems, which, as already known, show low power consumption and are intrinsically free from short-term fluctuations.

Abstract: A method and circuit for initializing a buffer in a clock forwarded system. A buffer is configured for temporarily storing incoming data received on the clock-forwarded interface. The buffer may use a write pointer and a read pointer which may be clocked by two different clocks allowing independent write and read accesses to the buffer. In an initialization mode, a predetermined pattern of data may be written into an entry in the buffer. In one embodiment, a logic circuit may detect the predetermined pattern of data and may cause the value of the write pointer to be captured. A synchronizing circuit may synchronize an indication that the predetermined pattern of data has been detected to the clock used by the read pointer. The synchronizer circuit may then provide a initialize signal to the read pointer which stores the captured write pointer value into the read pointer. This captured write pointer value becomes the initial value of the read pointer, effectively offsetting the read pointer from the write pointer.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a non-perforate suspended platform  17  on a bonded-substrate
 25  is disclosed. The method includes forming a dielectric layer  23  on a
support surface  22  of a base substrate  21  followed by patterning an interface
surface  27  of the dielectric layer  23  to define a well feature. The well feature is
etched until a well  31  having a depth  D w    that leaves a thin protective layer  32  of the
dielectric layer  23  covering the support surface  22 . Next a platform substrate  11  is
urged into contact with the base substrate  21  followed by annealing the base and
platform substrates ( 21, 11 ) to fusion bond the interface surface  27  with a mounting
surface  24  of the platform substrate  11.  The platform substrate  11  is thinned, using
CMP for example, to form a membrane  11  over a sealed cavity  33  defined by the
well  31  and the mounting surface  24 . The membrane  11  is patterned and etch to
form a plurality of trenches  13  that extend through the membrane  11  to the sealed
cavity  33  and define a suspended platform  17  and a flexure  15 . Only those portions
of the platform substrate  11  necessary to define the suspended platform  17  and the
flexures  15  are patterned and etched so that the suspended platform  17  is devoid of
perforations. As a result, the surface area of the suspended platform  17  is
maximized because perforations, or the like, do not subtract from the available
surface area. A selective etch material such as  HF  is used to remove the remaining
dielectric layer  23  from beneath the suspended platform  17  and the flexures  15 
thereby freeing the suspended platform and  17  the flexures  15 . The thin protective
layer  32  prevents pitting or damage to the support surface  22  of the base substrate
 21  during the removal of the dielectric layer  23 .

Abstract: A laser machining apparatus capable of changing a laser output condition at a desired machining position and time without regard to an interpolation period. When the remaining motion command amount Pa in the former of successive blocks, used for the interpolation period Q 0  between these blocks, is less than a motion command amount corresponding to a command speed in the interpolation period ITP, such deficiency Pb is supplemented by a motion command for the latter block, thus maintaining a moving speed unchanged. The laser output condition is changed between the blocks. A time period t1 = ITP×Pa/(Pa+Pb) from when the interpolation period Q 0  between the blocks starts to when a change from the former block to the latter is completed is determined. In an interpolation period Q -1 , a CNC sets the time period t1 and the laser output condition in laser output control signal generating means which changes the laser output condition when the time period t1 has elapsed from the start of the interpolation period Q 0 , making it possible to change the laser output condition at an arbitrary time without being limited by the interpolation period, whereby a highly accurate laser machining can be achieved.
