L'émetteur-récepteur traite des paquets sortants ou entrants et comprend plusieurs unités de traitement du signal connectées en séries, chaque unité de traitement du signal étant verrouillée par un signal d'horloge commun. Une ligne modale est connectée à chaque unité de traitement du signal pour commuter ce dernier entre un mode transmission et un mode réception. Une ligne de commande à laquelle chaque unité de traitement du signal est connectée communique des informations de contrôle de flux soit dans le mode transmission à une ou plusieurs unités de traitement du signal précédentes, soit dans le mode réception à une ou plusieurs unités de traitement du signal suivantes. Le tampon comprend un système de tampon qui met en oeuvre un concept d'organisation de la mémoire souple, donnant lieu à une mise en oeuvre efficiente d'éléments du tampon ou de la mémoire, en termes de nombre de portes et de consommation d'énergie, et présente la flexibilité nécessaire pour allouer de façon dynamique de la mémoire pour des paquets utilisateurs de longueur variable. Le système tampon destiné à stocker des données de la première et de la deuxième unités de traitement comprend plusieurs éléments de stockage, chaque élément de stockage présentant une première unité de stockage et une deuxième unité de stockage. Un sous-système de commutation sert à commuter chaque élément de stockage entre un premier mode et un deuxième mode. Dans le premier mode, chaque première unité de stockage est accessible par la première unité de traitement et chaque deuxième unité de stockage est accessible par la deuxième unité de traitement. Dans le deuxième mode, chaque deuxième unité de stockage est accessible par la première unité de traitement, et chaque première unité de stockage est accessible par la deuxième unité de traitement.

IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2002-09-26
Abstract: A method and system for dropping lower priority packets for transmission over a communication medium is provided. A cable modem termination system receives one or more packets to be transferred to one or more data providers, each packet having a priority. Then, based on the priority, a media access controller stores each of the packets in one or more priority queues in a fixed shared memory space in such a way as to maintain the order in which the packets were received in each of the priority queues. The media access controller monitors the number of packets in each of the priority queues and signals an interrupt when a packet threshold is exceeded in one or more of the priority queues. The media access controller then drops lower priority packets in the fixed shared memory space based on the order received to guarantee that there is enough memory to store higher priority packets in the fixed shared memory space.

Title: Precurseurs de ligands de carbene de chelation et leur utilisation dans la synthese de catalyseurs de metathese
Inventor: PEDERSON RICHARD L
IPC: C08F2/00
Filed: 2002-11-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne des précurseurs de ligands de chélation permettant de préparer des catalyseurs de métathèse des oléfines. Les catalyseurs résultant sont des espèces monomères stables à l'air capables de promouvoir efficacement différentes réactions de métathèse pouvant être récupérées à partir du mélange de réaction et réutilisées. On utilise des composés oléfiniques internes, notamment des styrènes bêta-substitués, comme précurseurs de ligands. Lorsqu'on les compare à des composés oléfiniques terminaux tels que des styrènes non substitués, les styrènes bêta-substitués sont plus faciles et moins coûteux à préparer, et plus stables du fait qu'ils ont moins tendance à se polymériser spontanément. L'invention concerne également des procédés de préparation de catalyseurs de métathèse de carbène de chélation sans utiliser de CuCl. On évite le recours à CuCl en le remplaçant par des acides organiques, des acides minéraux, des oxydants doux ou même de l'eau, ce qui permet d'obtenir des catalyseurs de métathèse du type Hoveyda à rendements élevés. L'invention concerne enfin un procédé efficace permettant de préparer des catalyseurs de métathèse de carbène de chélation par réaction d'un complexe de ruthénium approprié à concentrations élevées en précurseurs de ligands suivie d'une cristallisation à partir d'un solvant organique.

Abstract: An apparatus for and method of operating a thermal actuator for a
micromechanical device, especially a liquid drop emitter such as an ink jet
printhead, is disclosed. The disclosed thermal actuator (15) comprises a base
element (10) and a cantilevered element (20) including a thermo-mechanical
bender portion (20) extending from the base element to a free end tip (32). The
thermo-mechanical bender portion includes a barrier layer (23) constructed of a
dielectric material having low thermal conductivity, a first deflector layer (22)
constructed of a first electrically resistive material having a large coefficient of
thermal expansion, and a second deflector layer (24) constructed of a second
electrically resistive material having a large coefficient of thermal expansion
wherein the barrier layer is bonded between the first and second deflector layers.
The thermo-mechanical bender portion further has a base end (28) and base end
width,  w b   , adjacent the base element, and a free end and free end width,  w f   ,
adjacent the free end tip, wherein the base end width is substantially greater than
the free end width. A first heater resistor (26) is formed in the first deflector layer
and adapted to apply heat energy having a first spatial thermal pattern which
results in a first deflector layer base end temperature increase, ΔT 1b , that is greater
than a first deflector layer free end temperature increase, ΔT 1f . A second heater
resistor (27) is formed in the second deflector layer and adapted to apply heat
energy having a second spatial thermal pattern which results in a second deflector
layer base end temperature increase, ΔT 2b  that is greater than a second deflector
layer free end temperature increase, ΔT 2f . Application of an electrical pulse to
either the first or second heater resistors causes deflection of the cantilevered
element, followed by restoration of the cantilevered element to an initial position
as heat diffuses through the barrier layer and the cantilevered element reaches a
uniform temperature. For liquid drop emitter embodiments, the thermal actuator
resides in a liquid-filled chamber that includes a nozzle for ejecting liquid.
Application of electrical pulses to the heater resistors is used to adjust the
characteristics of liquid drop emission. The barrier layer exhibits a heat transfer 
time constant τ B . The thermal actuator is activated by a heat pulses of duration τ P 
wherein τ P  < ½ τ B .
