Abstract: An agent may be coupled to receive a clock signal associated with the bus, and may be configured to drive a signal responsive to a first edge (rising or falling) of the clock signal and to sample signals responsive to the second edge. The sampled signals may be evaluated to allow for the driving of a signal on the next occurring first edge of the clock signal. By using the first edge to drive signals and the second edge to sample signals, the amount of time dedicated for signal propagation may be one half clock cycle. Bandwidth and/or latency may be positively influenced. In some embodiments, protocols which may require multiple clock cycles on other buses may be completed in fewer clock cycles. For example, certain protocols which may require two clock cycles may be completed in one clock cycle. In one specific implementation, for example, arbitration may be completed in one clock cycle. Request signals may be driven responsive to the first edge of the clock signal and sampled responsive to the second edge. The sampled signals may be evaluated to determine an arbitration winner, which may drive the bus responsive to the next occurrence of the first edge.

Abstract: A ceramic envelope for high intensity discharge lamp comprises: a cylindrical
barrel section 1 that forms an electric discharge light emitting space; annular closing
sections, that close both ends of the barrel section 1, respectively; and capillary
sections 3 for receiving an electric discharge electrode to be protruded so as to be
opposed to each other from the substantial center of both of the closing sections. The
envelope essentially consists of alumina, and is formed to have light transmission
properties by adding MgO. The thickness of the barrel section at the boundary
between the barrel section 1 and the closing section 2 is formed to be increased in
thickness relative to the thickness in the vicinity of the center of the electric discharge
light emitting space by providing a tapered section 4a. In this way, there is provided

Abstract: A stent having marker tabs formed from a micro-alloyed combination of
materials provides for more precise placement and post-procedural
visualization in a vessel, by increasing the radiopacity of the stent under X-ray
fluoroscopy. A unique micro-alloying process is utilized to form the tabs,
comprising a first alloy and a second alloy, wherein one of these alloys is
radiopaque. This substantially eliminates the possibility of galvanic action
between the tab and the stent. This process is also applicable to other medical
devices.

Abstract: Many optical components now use a microelectronic substrate called an optical micro-bench
as a base from which to build. Conventional devices use one or more methods of fixing
the various elements together and/or onto the semiconductor micro-bench. Typically these
conventional methods require special coatings to be deposited on the substrate, and the use of a
separate bonding material, e.g. solder, glass or adhesive. The present invention relates to the
direct fixation of a semiconductor, e.g. silicon, indium phosphide or gallium arsenide, structural
component to the micro-bench made of a similar material using a laser welding technique, which
uses wavelengths that are not harmful to the other elements of the component. The present
invention eliminates the use of any separate bonding material, as well as several steps in the
bonding process.

Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device gives a large radiation surface with an enhanced light radiating capability. A N-type GaN layer (21) and a P-type GaN layer (22) are stacked to define therebetween an interface where a light is generated upon application of voltage across the interface. A light guide (10) on which the GaN layers are developed is utilized to give a wide radiation surface from which the light is given off. The radiation surface is formed with a refractor layer (40) composed of an array of a first medium (41) and a second medium (42) which have individual refraction indexes different from each other and are arranged alternately across the radiation surface. Thus, the light guide (10) can be best utilized to give a large radiation surface, yet formed with the refractor layer (40) which reduces multiple reflections inside of the light guide (10) for effectively passing or radiating the light transmitted through the light guide (10).
