Abstract: A reconfigurable digital signal processing system comprises a serial to parallel converter comprising at least one delay block and at least one decimation block arranged to convert, in use, a first serial signal with a first sampling rate to a multiplicity of parallel subband signals with a second sampling rate, wherein the second sampling rate is less than or equal to the first sampling rate. Processing blocks are arranged, in use, to process the subband signals to produce processed signals. A configuration controller is arranged to modify, in use, the decimation factor of each decimation block and to load, in use, a configuration into the memory of a processing block. A parallel to serial converter comprising at least one expansion block, the parallel to serial converter arranged to recover from the processed signals, in use, a second serial signal with a sampling rate substantially equal to the first sampling rate.  In use, in normal run-time operation the decimation factor of each decimation block is equal to the number of subband signals and when, in use, run-time reconfiguration is required the configuration controller is arranged to decrease the decimation factor so that the second sampling rate increases; load the configuration into the memory of a processing block; and increase the decimation factor to again be equal to the number of subband signals.

Abstract: As technology scales, on-chip interconnects are becoming narrower, and the height of such interconnects is not scaling linearly with the width. This leads to an increase of coupling capacitance with neighboring wires, leading to higher crosstalk. It also leads to poor performance due to poor RC response at the receiving of the wire, which may even result in failure in very noisy environments. An adaptive threshold scheme is proposed in which receiver switching thresholds are adjusted according to the detected noise in bus lines. These noise levels are dependent on both the front-end processing (transistor performance) as well as on the backend processing (metal resistance, capacitance, width and spacing). The circuit therefore automatically compensates for process variations.

Abstract: A mechanical structure comprises an element which is moveable by nonmechanical means, such as heat or radiation, between a first state having a first shape and a second state having a second shape different. To this end, the element includes a layer of oriented polymerized liquid crystal which exhibits an anisotropic expansion when subjected to such means. In order to facilitate manufacture the element is positioned on a substrate which has a region of high adhesiveness and a region of low adhesiveness for polymerized liquid crystal. To manufacture such structures a layer of oriented polymerizable liquid crystal is formed on a substrate (201) which is provided with a patterned surface that provides adhesive regions (204) with high adhesiveness to polymerized liquid crystal and nonadhesive regions (203) with low adhesiveness to polymerized liquid crystal. After polymerization, for example a thermal shock is applied which causes the layer of polymerized liquid crystal to delaminate at the non-adhering region while remaining fixed to the adhesive regions. Thus, the method does not require time-consuming under-etching steps.
