Patent EP-1368885-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HERMANN WOLFGANG
IPC: H02M1/00
Filed: 2002-03-01
Abstract: A power supply having first and second switched-mode power supply (II) connected in parallel. The first switched-mode power supply has an active power factor correction circuit, for example with a current pump which contains a coil which is coupled to a primary winding of a transformer, and the second switched-mode power supply (II) has a power factor coil (NS) in its power supply. Both switched-mode power supplies are arranged in one appliance, in parallel and downstream a common mains switch. The active power factor correction flattens the pulsed current flow, and the power factor coil shifts the phase of the pulsed current flow. The addition of the two parallel currents results in additional broadening of the pulsed current flow, and further improvement in the power factor. The inductance of the power factor coil (NS) can in consequence be chosen to be correspondingly lower.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne la production de dispositifs en matériau de nitrure de gallium ayant des vias sur la face inférieure et les procédés de fabrication de tels dispositifs. Les dispositifs comprennent un matériau en nitrure de gallium formé sur un substrat, tel que le silicium. Le dispositif peut aussi comporter un ou des couches non conductrices entre le substrat et le matériau de nitrure de gallium qui peut contribuer au dépôt du matériau de nitrure de gallium. On dispose d'un via qui s'étend à partie de la face inférieure du dispositif à travers la couche/les couches non conductrice(s) afin de permettre la conduction électrique entre un contact électrique déposé au sein du via et, par exemple, un contact électrique sur la partie supérieure du dispositif. Ainsi, les dispositifs de l'invention peuvent avoir une conduction verticale. Dans d'autres cas, les vias peuvent être exempts de contacts électriques, par exemple, pour améliorer l'extraction de lumière. Des exemples de tels dispositifs incluent les diodes lasers, les diodes électroluminescentes, les diodes redresseurs de puissance, les transistors à effet de champ (par exemple les transistors à effet de champ élevé), les diodes à effet Gunn, et les diodes à capacité variable, entre autres.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une architecture d'interréseautage intégrée permettant d'automatiser la configuration et le contrôle de réseaux qui fonctionnent selon des protocoles en couches classiques. L'architecture selon l'invention comprend deux blocs majeurs: (1) un réseau; et (2) un contrôleur couplé au réseau qui configure automatiquement le réseau en coordonnant différentes ressources pour mettre en oeuvre une action, par exemple pour fournir un service d'achats électronique. Le contrôleur peut fonctionner à une couche au-dessus des protocoles réseau classiques de manière à soustraire la complexité visible du réseau, permettant ainsi à un utilisateur humain de contrôler, configurer et faire fonctionner le réseau comme s'il était un hôte unique (par exemple, un ordinateur) par l'intermédiaire d'une simple interface utilisateur. Un ensemble d'outils peut également être fourni pour stimuler et évaluer l'interaction des divers composants réseautés à l'aide des propriétés et des informations d'approvisionnement conservées dans le contrôleur.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates speculative load operations in a multiprocessor system. This system operates by maintaining a record at an L2 cache of speculative load operations that have returned data values through the L2 cache to associated L1 caches, wherein a speculative load operation is a load operation that is speculatively initiated before a preceding load operation has returned. In response to receiving an invalidation event, the system invalidates a target line in the L2 cache. The system also performs a lookup in the record to identify affected L1 caches that are associated with speculative load operations that may be affected by the invalidation of the target line in the L2 cache. Next, the system sends replay commands to the affected L1 caches in order to replay the affected speculative load operations, so that the affected speculative load operations take place after invalidation of the target line in the L2 cache.

Abstract: In a cable television system(10) in accordance with the invention, program materials are made available to subscribers in a neighborhood on an as needed basis. Specifically, when a subscriber at a set-top terminal (128-1) selects a program channel to watch, the selection request is transmitted to a headend (100) of the system. In response to such a request, a controller(112) in the headend determines whether the material of the selected program channel has been made available to the neighborhood. If it has been made available, the controller identifies to the set-top terminal (128-1) the carrier which is carrying the requested program material, and to which the set-top terminal tunes to obtain the requested program material. Otherwise, the controller (112) assigns an unused carrier to carry the requested program material, and informs the set-top terminal of the identity of the newly assigned carrier. The controller(112) also retires those carriers assigned for the program channels which are no longer watched by the subscribers in the neighborhood.
