Abstract: The invention relates to a vacuum unit for a device used to structure the surface of a workpiece ( 20 ), in particular a plate such as e.g. a flexographic printing block, by means of radiation and especially laser radiation. Said unit comprises a hood ( 10 ), which in its operating position covers an interaction zone between the radiation and the surface of the workpiece, consisting of a rear face ( 11 ), to which a vacuum line ( 38 ) can be connected, two lateral walls ( 16 ) comprising end edges ( 19 ), which lie opposite the workpiece ( 20 ) in the operating position of the hood ( 10 ), and two leading walls ( 17, 18 ), which are located between the lateral walls ( 16 ), run transversally to the latter and which together with the two lateral walls ( 16 ) delimit a vacuum channel ( 14 ) in the hood ( 10 ), said channel comprising an inlet ( 15 ), which lies opposite the workpiece ( 20 ) in the operating position of said hood ( 10 ). The aim of the invention is to provide a vacuum unit of the aforementioned type, which permits abraded or decomposition products that form during the engraving process, such as aerosols, water vapour and fumes, in addition to centrifugal particles, to be reliably removed from the interaction zone between the laser beam and the workpiece, thus practically eliminating a build-up of said products on the workpiece and/or vacuum unit. To achieve this, the edge ( 21 ) of one ( 17 ) of the two leading walls lies opposite the workpiece in the operating position of the hood ( 10 ), whilst the other leading wall ( 18 ) comprises a convex, cylindrical curvature lying opposite the surface of the workpiece in the operating position of the hood and, in the vicinity of the curvature, at least one opening ( 23 ), through which the radiation for engraving the workpiece surface is guided.

Abstract: Various methods and apparatuses are described in which an arbitration controller cooperates with arbitration logic. The arbitration controller has a plurality of inputs that receive one or more transactions from a plurality of blocks of functionality. The arbitration controller arbitrates requests for access to a shared resource amongst the plurality of blocks of functionality by implementing an arbitration policy. The arbitration policy groups the transactions from the plurality of blocks of functionality into global groups of transactions for servicing by that shared resource. All of the transactions in a first global group are serviced by that shared resource prior to servicing transactions in a next global group of transactions. The arbitration logic facilitates the arbitration policy. The arbitration logic includes cascaded arbitration units that hierarchically arbitrate for the shared resource. The topology of the functional blocks supplying the transactions to the inputs into the arbitration controller is capable of varying independently of the arbitration policy achieved by the collection of arbitration units.

Abstract: A switching regulator for generating a regulated output voltage comprises a charging switch, a network with a coil, a capacitor and a diode as well as a control to open and close the charging switch. On the output side, the network has a positive output rail and a negative output rail, wherein the output voltage to be regulated is applied between the positive output rail and the negative output rail. The control is formed to control a change-over switch to connect the control input of the charging switch either to the positive output rail or the negative output rail via a potential coupling means. Thus, for controlling the switch, no individual potential has to be generated, but the potential at the positive output rail or the negative output rail, which is anyway applied, is used for controlling the charging switch. Thereby, the inventive switching regulator can be structured in a simple way and, additionally, provides defined and fast startup without requiring additional startup circuits.
