Abstract: A serial digital data communications receiver with an improved automatic cable
equalizer that is less susceptible to jitter and has greater multi-standards capability,
and an improved automatic gain control system with a DC restorer that provides
optimal edge jitter performance while avoiding the possibility of a latch-up condition
at the start of data transmission. The automatic cable equalizer for equalizing signals
received over cables of different lengths has multiple stages each having a transfer
function of 1 + Ki[fi(jω)] wherein each of the Ki varies in accordance with a
sequential gain control methodology. The AGC system uses the difference between
band-pass filtered versions of the amplitudes of the input and output of a DC restorer
based on quantized feedback, to regulate the AGC circuit. The DC restorer comprises
a comparator for generating a quantized output and further clamps the input with a
clamping circuit so that a version of the quantized output is fed back to the input while
avoiding the possibility of operational failure of the comparator at the onset of data
transmission.

Abstract: The systems and methods of the present invention utilize stochastic calculus (e.g.,
pi calculus) to determine (e.g., specify, predict, etc.) quality of service that includes at
least one of rate, uptime and capacity. The quality of service can be indicative of a level
of service provided and/or required by an agent (e.g., a web service). The quality of
service can be obtained by representing an agent's contract via a model (e.g., state
diagram or mathematical algorithm) and decorating the model with cost functions that are
utilized to compute transition costs that are employed to predict associated rates for
respective transitions. The model can further be decorated with error states to determine
uptime and employed to determine channel capacity. In general, the quality service of a
requesting agent and a providing agent can be compared to determine whether the
providing agent can satisfy the level of performance of the requesting agent.

Abstract: Attenuating phase shift masks and alternating phase shift masks provide increased
resolution of the apparatus by introducing a phase shift in the radiation transmitted between
adjacent features of the pattern on the mask. A phase shift mask is provided with a layer of
inorganic material that is etchable. The inorganic material layer is formed on a mask blank
having a glass or quartz layer and an etch stop layer. The etch stop layer provides uniform
etch depth of the pattern in the inorganic material layer as the etch stop layer is formed of a
material that is not etched by the etching process. The phase shift mask may be provided
with a layer of attenuating material instead of the resinous inorganic polymer layer. The
features of the pattern of the phase shift mask may also be filled with an optically
transparent or translucent material or with an opaque material having an index of refraction
and a dielectric constant selected to reduce the boundary effect at side walls of features of
the pattern. A device for use in an integrated circuit, an integrated optical system, magnetic
domain memories, liquid-crystal display panels, and thin-film magnetic heads may be
manufactured by exposing a radiation sensitive material on a substrate to a projection beam
of radiation patterned with a phase shift mask having an etch stop layer and/or a pattern
