Abstract: A variety of illumination devices are disclosed that are configured to manipulate light provided by one or more light-emitting elements (LEEs). In general, embodiments of the illumination devices feature one or more optical couplers that redirect illumination from the LEEs to a reflector which then directs the light into a range of angles. In some embodiments, the illumination device includes a second reflector that reflects at least some of the light from the first reflector. In certain embodiments, the illumination device includes a light guide that guides light from the collector to the first reflector. The components of the illumination device can be configured to provide illumination devices that can provide a variety of intensity distributions. Such illumination devices can be configured to provide light for particular lighting applications, including office lighting, task lighting, cabinet lighting, garage lighting, wall wash, stack lighting, and downlighting.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to processor communications fabrics. In some embodiments, a processor includes multiple client circuitry and fabric circuitry that includes at least first and second instances of a tile. The tile may include: client inputs configured to interface with client circuits, tile inputs configured to interface with one or more other tile instances, and communication resources assignable to the client inputs and tile inputs. The communications resources may include: multiple internal links, client outputs configured to interface with client circuits, and tile outputs configured to interface with one or more other tile instances. Control circuitry may, in a given cycle, assign communication resources of a given tile instance to at least a portion of the client inputs and tile inputs for a next cycle, based on priority information. The control circuitry may update priority information based on assignment results over multiple cycles.

Abstract: Garment-like absorbent articles are disclosed. The garment-like absorbent articles may include two nonwoven components that have coordinating and/or substantially similar repeat patterns of apertures and/or bonds. The two nonwoven components may also have certain repeat unit areas, repeat unit width, and repeat unit lengths to aid in softness and to provide improved aesthetic appearance to consumers.
