  • Publication number: 20070236914
    Abstract: An optical switch having a housing, a light source and a light detector. The light source and light detector are located remote from the housing, The light source is connected to the housing with a first light guide, and the light detector is connected to the housing with a second light guide. The first and second light guide cables have distal ends positioned through the housing and are optically aligned but separated by a gap. The switch includes a device to interrupt a light beam that is usually adapted to removably occupy the gap.

  • Publication number: 20070181494
    Abstract: A reactor chamber for placement in a wastewater treatment system, where the reactor chamber has a chamber formed from a sidewall which forms an interior of the chamber. The sidewall has a top portion and a bottom portion and fixed channel growth media positioned in the interior of the chamber. The fixed channel growth media is positioned below the top of the sidewall, so that when positioned in a treatment system, most of the growth media is located below the water level in the treatment system. The top of the sidewall near the water level (when positioned in a treatment system) is substantially impermeable to wastewater. The reactor includes an air distribution manifold system having a series of air release sites positioned below the fixed channel growth media and adapted to release air which disperses upwardly through the fixed channel growth media. Influent is discharged into the treatment tank near the air discharge sites.

  • Publication number: 20070126463
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for polarity driven on-die termination. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes an input/output (I/O) circuit to receive a command and an on-die termination (ODT) pin to receive one or more ODT signals. The integrated circuit may further include control logic coupled to the ODT pin, the control logic to enable, at least in part, a multiplexing of an ODT activation signal and an ODT value selection signal on the ODT pin, the control logic further to control a length of termination based, at least in part, on the command. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20070126465
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for time-multiplexed dynamic on-die termination. In an embodiment, an integrated circuit receives, during a first clock, an on-die termination (ODT) activation signal at its ODT pin. The integrated circuit also receives, during a second clock, an ODT value selection signal on its ODT pin. In an embodiment, the integrated circuit prevents a reset of the state of the ODT activation signal for a predetermined period of time to enable the multiplexing of signals on the ODT pin. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20060134767
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the identification, characterization and three-dimensional structure of a novel ligand binding site of KSP. Binding of ligands to the novel binding site result in a conformational change in the three-dimensional structure of the protein and a modulation of the activity of KSP. This conformational change in turn results in the formation of a novel binding pocket in the KSP protein, which comprises the novel binding site of the instant invention.
