Abstract: A data stream selection/output apparatus that selects and
outputs a data stream composed of sequentially obtained data.
The data stream selection/output apparatus obtains timing
information indicating a time at which a first data stream being
output should be switched to a second data stream. The data
stream selection/output apparatus, in a time period including
the time indicated by the timing information, scans the first
and second data streams to detect a first boundary between data
blocks of the first data stream and a second boundary between
data blocks of the second data stream, where the data blocks
conform to a transmission protocol higher than Transport Layer
of OSI Reference Model. The data stream selection/output
apparatus then stops outputting the first data stream at the
first block boundary and starts outputting the second data stream
at the second block boundary.

Abstract: An optical amplifier arrangement comprises a splitter for
providing an input WDM optical signal on at least first
and second output paths. An optical amplifier is
provided in at least one of the paths, and a signal
routing arrangement is provided for routing individual
channels or groups of channels of the WDM signal within
the at least one of the paths. A switch selects the
signal from one of the at least first and second output
paths. In this arrangement, there are two paths between
the input and output. Whilst one path is being used, the
components in the other path can be upgraded. For
example, a switching arrangement may be provided in the
other path, and an amplifier may also be upgraded,
without disrupting service in the path in use. This
enables an amplifying node within an optical
communications system to be incrementally upgraded.

Abstract: A colloidal suspension of nanoparticles composed of a dense material dispersed in a solent is used in forming a gap-filling dielectric material with low thermal shrinkage.  The dielectric material is particularly useful for pre-metal dielectric and shallow trench isolaiton applications.  According to the mehtods of forming a dielectric material, the colloidal suspension is deposited on a substrate and dried to form a porous intermediate layer.  The intermediate layer is modified bz infiltration with a liquid phase matrix material, such as a spin-on polymer, followed by curing, by infiltration with a gas phase matrix material, followd by curing, or by curing alone, to provide a gap-filling, thermally stable, etch resistant dielectric material.

Abstract: When a new system component is loaded into a system, the system sends information about the system component and a configuration of the system to a remote acceptance server. The acceptance server verifies whether the system including the system component and configured according to information about the configuration meets a criterion of interoperability, for example by checking that it does not contain illegal instructions which damage critical system data or functions that are not available in the configuration. The server sends an acceptance signal to the system. The acceptance signal may detail which of multiple events handled by the computer program are handled acceptably. The system qualifies operation of the system component dependent on the acceptance signal, for example by disabling operation of the new system component or handling of events that are not handled acceptably according to the acceptance signal.

Abstract: The operability and scaleability of electronic circuits is improved using a circuit arrangement that is modular, scaleable, straightforward to implement and allows for simple and safe physical design implementation. According to one example embodiment of the present invention, a reset method and system are used to effect a reset at several peripheral devices that may employ similar and/or different reset strategies. A reset signal generator is coupled to a clock module having an external clock reference and to each of the peripheral devices. A reset clock signal having the reference clock frequency is sent to each of the peripheral devices via clock outputs at the clock module. A synchronization module at each of the peripheral devices is adapted to synchronize the reset signal among all peripheral devices using the clock signal. The clock module holds the reset clock signal for a selected amount of time, and then releases the signal from the external clock. The reset signals are then simultaneously released at each of the peripheral devices, making possible a smooth transition from reset.

Abstract: Selon cette invention, des ouvertures effectuées dans un corps mammifère par un acte médical ou à la suite d'un événement non médical sont obturées à l'aide d'un bouchon biorésorbable ou cousues à l'aide d'un fil de suture biorésorbable. Dans un mode de réalisation de cette invention donné à titre d'exemple, le bouchon sous forme déshydratée, non expansé est poussé à l'aide d'un dispositif de poussée à travers la lumière d'une aiguille jusqu'à ce qu'une première partie du bouchon soit extérieure à l'ouverture et qu'une seconde partie du bouchon soit intérieure à l'ouverture. L'aiguille est ensuite retirée alors que la position du dispositif de poussée est maintenue. Le dispositif de poussée est ensuite retiré, laissant le bouchon dans une position d'obturation de l'ouverture. L'humidité du corps provoque l'expansion du bouchon afin de terminer l'obturation de l'ouverture, ou l'expansion peut être provoquée par exposition à l'air, à la lumière ou à un autre stimulant. L'ouverture peut être formée dans un tissu mou, des organes internes, ou un tissu dur. Le bouchon empêche l'écoulement de fluides biologiques liquides ou gazeux.
