Abstract: L'invention concerne un coupleur optique flexible conçu pour coupler des signaux lumineux en provenance d'un guide d'ondes optiques placé sur une plaquette ou un substrat à un guide d'ondes optiques placé sur une autre plaquette ou un autre substrat, ou à un port optique ou un circuit intégré optoelectronique ou photonique. Le coupleur s'auto-aligne grâce à la conception des butées d'alignement prévues à proximité du guide d'ondes optiques ou du port optique. Le coupleur peut consister en un groupement de guides d'ondes optiques placé entre deux groupements de ports optiques. Ledit coupleur peut être utilisé avec tout substrat approprié pour la fabrication de guides d'ondes polymères dont de nombreux matériaux pour plaquettes. Le guide d'ondes optiques du coupleur est placé sur un substrat flexible et transparent. Ledit coupleur est efficace pour les connexions optiques entre des dispositifs situés sur des surfaces non juxtaposées. Des butées d'alignement sont utilisées de manière à aligner les ports du coupleur optique avec d'autres ports. La fabrication desdites butées d'alignement ne se limite pas aux procédés par attaque cristallographique.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for facilitating operation of a peripheral bus, such as a PCI bus, at a higher clock frequency. The preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an enable line (66MHzENABLE) connected to each of the devices resident on the PCI bus. The enable line is passively pulled high through a pull-up resistor if all devices resident on the PCI bus can support high frequency operation (such as, for example, 66MHz). If any device cannot support high frequency operation, the device internally connects the enable line to ground in accordance with present industry specifications. Thus, the enable line will be asserted high only if all of the PCI devices support high frequency operation, but will be deasserted low if any device cannot support high frequency operation. The invention also includes a dedicated status bit to permit the system to warn the operator of discrepancies between device and bus capabilities. Furthermore, the system enables certain configuration registers, such as MIN_GNT and MAX_LAT to be automatically reconfigured if system parameters change. <IMAGE>
