Abstract: Transform-limited ultrashort optical pulses are obtained by sending into a
dispersion-shifted optical fibre pulses of such duration and intensity as to produce
self-phase modulation. The pulses are also made to travel through a conventional
fibre with suitable dispersion and are subjected to optical filtering, so as to
compensate, for a particular peak power, the phase effect due to the chirp. Pulse
peak power is selected so as to coincide with the vertex of the parabola plotting
the square of the duration of the outgoing pulse versus the peak power of the
incoming signal.

Abstract: A fluid damped bushing (10, 100) comprising a metallic sleeve (12, 112) and an annular elastomeric body (14, 114) mold bonded to the exterior of the metallic sleeve. The elastomeric body has a spaced apart pair of fluid containing recesses (18, 118 and 20, 120) in its exterior surface with a serpentine shaped inertia track (26, 126) in the outermost surface of the elastomeric body to provide communication between the recesses. A window metal sleeve (16, 116) is encapsulated within the elastomeric body by mold bonding, and the window metal sleeve has a longitudinally spaced apart pair of rings (30, 130 and 32, 132) above and below the level of the recesses, respectively, and a diametrically opposed pair of webs (38, 138 and 40, 140) extending between the rings. In a first embodiment, a plurality of outwardly projecting pads (28) is located in one of the webs in the region of the inertia track to prevent deformation of the inertia track under load. The annular elastomeric body is inserted into an outer metallic sleeve (36, 136), while the sleeve and the elastomeric body are immersed in a damping fluid, and the diameter of the outer sleeve is then reduced by a swaging process to tightly seal the sleeve against the annular elastomeric body and to seal the damping fluid in the recesses and the inertia track. In another embodiment of the invention the metallic sleeve (112) has a generally elliptical, axially short rigid polymeric collar (140) affixed to the central portion thereof. The radially longer lobes (140a) of the collar are aligned with the recesses (118, 120) and serve to limit the amount of radial deflection of the bushing (100).

Inventor: VAN LOO WILLIAM C
IPC: H04L12/42

Abstract: A system for maintaining reliable packet distribution in a ring network with support for
strongly ordered, nonidempotent commands. Each consumer node on the network maintains a
record of the sequence of packets that have passed through that node, and the state of each of the
packets at the time it passed through, including a record of the last known good packet and its
sequence number. When a producer node detects an error condition in an acknowledgment for a
packet, resends all packets beginning with the last known good packet. Each consumer node is
able to process or reject the resent packets, including packets that may already have been processed,
which it is aware of due to the packet and state records for all packets. Strong ordering is
thus supported, since the sending order of packets can be maintained for processing due to the
resends, and nonidempotent commands are supported due to the consumer nodes' ability to determine
whether they have already processed a given packet, and to send an acknowledge-done reply
if that is the case. The system is equipped to operate successfully in the presence of a failed or
very busy node by maintaining a queue of busy acks from each node, or from nodes that are particularly
busy, and when the queue is full taking steps to bypass the busy or failed node. Alternatively,
the system can detect that some predetermined period of time has passed during which
either no response or only busy responses have been received from a given node, and at that point
determine to effectively bypass the node for future transactions, at least for some timeout period,
so that packet transactions for the rest of the network can proceed unhindered by the ill-behaved
node.

Abstract: When a position deviation of more than 1/2 pitch
of ejection port pitch is generated by a difference
in thermal expansion between ejection ports (No. 7
to No. 12) of a low temperature line head and
ejection ports (No. 7 to No. 12) of high temperature
line head, a dummy data (D6') is inserted in part of
ejection data arrangement (D1 to D12), so that
ejection data (D7 to D12) inherent in the
arrangement is shifted by one ejection port unit to
be assigned to other ejection ports This reduces
position deviation between dots formed by individual
heads according to the data (D1 to D12) to less than
1/2 pitch.

Abstract: A wafer-scale assembly apparatus for integrated circuits and a method for forming the wafer-scale assembly are disclosed. A semiconductor wafer including a plurality of circuits is provided with a plurality of metal contact pads as electrical entry and exit ports. A first wafer-scale patterned polymer film carrying solder balls for each of the contact pads on the wafer is positioned opposite the wafer, and the wafer and the film are aligned. The film is brought into contact with the wafer. Radiant energy in the near infrared spectrum is applied to the backside of the wafer, heating the wafer uniformly and rapidly without moving the semiconductor wafer. Thermal energy is transferred through the wafer to the surface of the wafer and into the solder balls, which reflow onto the contact pads, while the thermal stretching of the polymer film is mechanically compensated. The uniformity of the height of the liquid solder balls is controlled either by mechanical stoppers or by the precision linear motion of motors. After cooling, the solder balls solidify and the first polymer film is removed. The process is repeated for assembling sequentially a wafer-scale patterned interposer overlying all of the solder balls and the wafer and contacting each solder ball with a soldered joint, and a second wafer-scale patterned film carrying solder balls contacting the interposer. In each process, the wafer is heated uniformly and rapidly and without moving it, the alignment is maintained during heating by mechanically compensating for the thermal stretching of the polymer film, and the uniformity of the height of the liquid solder balls is controlled by mechanical stoppers or position closed-loop linear actuators. The second film is removed after cooling. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
