Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif SERDES DSP servant à exécuter des opérations de compensation facilitant la désérialisation à grande vitesse. Une section de réception du SERDES DSP comprend un ou plusieurs ADCs et DSPs. L'ADC sert à échantillonner des données analogues en série (modulées) et à générer des données numérisées en série (représentation numérique des données analogues en série modulées). Le DSP est couplé à l'ADC et reçoit les données numérisées en série. A partir des caractéristiques connues des données numérisées en série et des données numériséees en série elles-mêmes, le DSP détermine quelles opérations de compensation exécuter sur les données en série pour compenser les insuffisances de la réponse du récepteur et/ou du canal. Ces opérations de compensation peuvent être (1) exécutées sur les données analogues avant la numérisaion par l'ADC ; (2) appliquées à l'ADC pour modifier l'exploitation de l'ADC; et/ou (3) exécutées sur les données numérisées en série par le DSP ou un autre dispositif.

Abstract: A method of preparing block copolymers by solid state polymerization is described. A mixture of a partially crystalline polycarbonate having activated terminal aryloxy groups, for example terminal methyl salicyl groups, when heated together with an oligomeric polyester having reactive terminal hydroxy groups under solid state polymerization conditions affords block copolymers. The activated terminal aryloxy groups play a key role in preserving the block lengths of the starting materials. A control sample in which the partially crystalline polycarbonate lacks activated terminal aryloxy groups, for example polycarbonates substituted by phenol, affords a much lower molecular weight, more highly randomized copolymer product. The product block copolymers are useful as "weatherable" plastic materials.
