Patent EP-1081836-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GRANT DAVID
IPC: H03K17/695
Filed: 2000-09-04
Abstract: A circuit, (54) comprising a plurality of switches (S 1 , S 2 ,
S 3 , S 4  and S 5 ) coupled together in a charge pump arrangement
(56). A first switch (S 1 ) is driven by a first driver (X 1 ), and
a second switch (S 2 ) is driven by a second driver (X 2 ). The
first and second switches (S 1  and S 2 ) are connected to the input
voltage terminal (V in ). The charge pump arrangement (56) is
adapted to provide a boot voltage (V boot ) and a drive voltage
(V dry ) for a switch mode power supply. At least the first driver
(X 1 ) is powered by a voltage higher than the input voltage (V in ).
The higher voltage maybe obtained from a voltage (V 3 ) at a node
between an additional switch (S 6 ) and an additional capacitor
(C 3 ). Alternatively, the higher voltage may be obtained from the
boot voltage (V boot ). Powering the driver (X 1 ) with the higher
voltage allows the lateral semiconductor area of the charge pump
circuit (56) to be reduced, by using NMOS FETs for at least one
switch. The invention is particularly useful for applications
such as DSPs and mixed signal or analog circuits.

record of historic slates of a disk is created, wherein the disk includes various disk
locations, such as a disk location X, a disk location Y, and a disk location Z. in response
to a request to overwrite original data at the disk location X with new dala, the new data
is stored at the disk location Y. Then, an indication is established in the record of historic
states that indicates the roles of disk location X and Y. These roles could establish the
role of disk location X as including historic data, and the role of location Y as including
new data for location X. In addition, the method includes intercepting a command to
release data at the disk location Z, and establishing an indication in the record of historic
states indicating the disk location Z stores historic data.

Abstract: An enhanced current sensing circuits, particularly suitable
for use in telephony line interface cards is disclosed. The
current sensing circuit includes a voltage sense circuit and
sense amplifier that may be tuned for feed resistors of a given
value to sense current through these feed resistors. Nominal
values for the feed resistors are not required. A preferred
voltage sense circuit includes a voltage dividing circuit
connected across an impedance through which current is to be
sensed. The voltage dividing circuit includes a tap to provide a
voltage proportional to a voltage across the impedance, divided
by a factor equal to a known multiple of the impedance. This
sensed voltage may be determined without knowledge of the nominal
value of the impedance and will be equal to a known fraction of
the current through the impedance. A similar second voltage
dividing circuit may be used to sense voltage and hence current
through a second impedance. The sensed voltages may be combined
to form a signal indicative of the current attributable to a
differential voltage across the two impedances. Conveniently,
the current sensing circuit facilitates manufacture of telephony
line interface cards in which resistors used to drive a
subscriber loop may not need to be trimmed to a nominal value.

Title: Charniere de porte resistante a la tolerance et adaptee au vide avec dispositif d'ouverture assistee
Inventor: LARSON DEAN JAY
IPC: H01L21/677
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble charnière et des procédés de montage d'une trappe au niveau d'un orifice formé dans le couvercle d'une chambre à vide, ladite trappe servant à fermer et à ouvrir cet orifice. Une tige de torsion montée entre l'orifice et la trappe est soumise à une torsion lorsque la trappe se trouve dans une position fermée par rapport à l'orifice, et contribue ainsi au mouvement d'ouverture de l'orifice. Une gaine recouvre la tige et peut se déplacer avec la trappe. Des structures de charnière à friction se trouvant entre le couvercle et la gaine et entre la trappe et une seconde gaine sont en contact frictionnel avec une gaine correspondante. Chaque structure de charnière à friction présente une haute résistance au mouvement relatif entre un ressort de friction et une gaine correspondante. Lors du mouvement d'ouverture de l'orifice, le ressort de friction présente une faible résistance à ce mouvement relatif. Les structures de charnière présentent une résistance à la tolérance et une adaptabilité au vide tout en permettant un mouvement relatif entre une plaque de montage de charnière et la trappe. Pendant le pompage à vide, les charnières permettent à la trappe de se déplacer depuis une position de précharge de joint torique vers une position intermédiaire, puis vers une position finale, de manière que le joint torique préchargé se comprime jusqu'à une compression de joint torique opérationnelle. Etant donné que les charnières permettent d'entrer en position de précharge de joint torique avant la formation du vide et avec n'importe quelle tolérance de fabrication, tous les mouvements relatifs entre la plaque et la trappe sont possibles. Ainsi, une fois fermées, les surfaces d'étanchéité présentent une résistance à la tolérance et une adaptabilité au vide.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for transferring related data objects
in a distributed data storage environment. The approach allows for data
objects belonging to a common group to be transferred while preserving the
grouping of the data objects. The data objects can be transferred in an order
in which the data objects are stored, rather than in an order of grouping.
The data objects are accompanied with attribute information including a unique
group identifier when transferred from a source site to a target site. At the
target site, the attribute information for each data object is received and
analysed. An import groups table listing the groups of data objects is used
to associate each data object with its group as it is received. Data objects
of groups for which any members have not been received are also listed in an
unresolved objects table. When a group is complete, all data objects of the
group are removed from the unresolved objects table. At the end of a data
transfer session, all data objects still listed in the unresolved objects
table are deleted.

Abstract: A communications receiver architecture characterized by a relatively low intermediate
frequency (IF) and a polyphase filter. The receiver includes an input amplifier coupled to a carrier
signal. Respective I and Q demodulators are coupled to the output of the input amplifier. A
quadrature local oscillator (LO) generator provides respective LO_I and LO_Q inputs to the I
demodulator and LO_Q inputs to the I demodulator and to the Q demodulator. The quadrature
LO generator is driven by a phase-locked LO, and the LO frequency is such that an IF of, in one
embodiment, approximately 1MHz results. The I demodulator and Q demodulator outputs are
applied through respective A/D converters to a polyphase filter. The polyphase filter outputs are
then processed by a digital I/Q demodulator. Although a low IF is not generally understood to
promote the image rejection performance of a receiver, substantial image rejection is afforded
by the polyphase filter, thereby enabling the receiver to be realized almost entirely as a
monolithic integrated semiconductor device.

Abstract: An efficient hardware architecture and processing method permit
pipelined processing stages to be shared in processing samples from a plurality of
independent input sequences that are grouped prior to application to the processing
arrangement. A high degree of processing engine efficiency and/or reduced delay for
accepting new input samples are achieved by applying the signal sequence, { Y j   :
 j =0,1,2,..., MN -1}, obtained by interleaving  M  signal sequences { X i,j   :  j =0,1,2,..., N -1},
 i =1,2,... M }. Thus, processing of sample  Y j    can start as soon as processing of sample
 Y j-M    is finished. Accordingly, effective pipeline stage delay,  D p ,  can be reduced by a
factor of  M  (from D max  to D max   IM)  and the number of required engines (or, equivalently,
required time) can be reduced by the same factor  M .
