Abstract:
A method, article of manufacture, and apparatus for processing information are disclosed. In some embodiments, this includes mapping a target multi-controller system, determining a target controller to send a data chunk to based on the mapping, determining if the target controller is missing any portion of the data chunk, and sending the missing portions of the data chunk to the target controller. In some embodiments, sending the missing portions of the data chunk to the target controller includes sending the missing portions of the data chunk from a source multi-controller system to the target. The source multi-controller system may have a first number of controllers and the target multi-controller system may have a second number of controllers.
Abstract:
A gain-controlled RF amplifier system has an input node and an output node. The system has a plurality of amplifier devices, selectively connectable between the input node and the output node. The amplifier devices are placed in circuit according to a measured gain derived by comparing a magnitude of a signal input to the input node against a magnitude of a signal output from the output node, and a desired value of gain.
Abstract:
Radiations detectors with angled walls and methods of fabrication are provided. One radiation detector module includes a plurality of sensor tiles configured to detect radiation. The plurality of sensor tiles have (i) top and bottom edges defining top and bottom surfaces of the plurality of sensor tiles, (ii) sidewall edges defining sides of the plurality of sensor tiles, and (iii) corners defined by the top and bottom edges and the sidewall edges. The radiation detector module also has at least one beveled surface having an oblique angle, wherein the beveled surface includes beveling of at least one of top or bottom edges, the side wall edges, or the corners.
Abstract:
In one embodiment a film can comprises a surface comprising a plurality of prism structures. Each prism structure has a lateral modulation in the w direction of less than or equal to ±20% of an average pitch of the prism structures. The plurality of prism structures can have a variation in the w direction of prism peak height that is discrete and/or continuous. In one embodiment, a method for making a film can comprise forming a plurality of prism structures on a surface. The plurality of prism structures can have a lateral modulation in the w direction of less than or equal to ±20% of an average pitch of the prism structures, and wherein the plurality of prism structures have a variation in the w direction of prism peak height that is discrete and/or continuous.
Abstract:
A method for directly determining model parameters for a machining process that includes the steps of providing a system having a machining tool and a workpiece, and machining the workpiece using the machining tool, where the machining induces motions in the machining tool or the workpiece. The motions are then measured and used to estimate system characteristic multipliers (eigenvalues). A set of process model parameters is obtained by relating the eigenvalues to the results of an analytical method, a theoretical model or both.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, methods and apparatus are provided to improve the techniques and mechanisms for forwarding packets at a fiber channel switch. A combined area table/domain table (ATDT) is accessed using destination information associated with a fiber channel packet. Area/port or domain information can be used to address entries in the ATDT. Each entry provides one or more paths to a given destination. Traffic shaping, load balancing, and other policy based forwarding considerations can be applied.
