Abstract: Low noise amplifiers (LNAs) with low noise figure are provided. In certain embodiments, an LNA includes a single-ended LNA stage including an input for receiving a single-ended input signal from an antenna and an output for providing a single-ended amplified signal, a balun for converting the single-ended amplified signal to a differential signal, and a variable gain differential amplification stage for amplifying the differential signal from the balun. Implementing the LNA in this manner provides low noise figure, high gain, flexibility in controlling gain, and less sensitivity to ground/supply impedance.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of identifying packet latency in a software defined datacenter (SDDC) that includes a network and multiple host computers executing multiple machines. At a first host computer, the method identifies and stores (i) multiple time values associated with several packet processing operations performed on a particular packet sent by a first machine executing on the first host computer, and (ii) a time value associated with packet transmission through the SDDC network from the first host computer to a second host computer that is a destination of the particular packet. The method provides the stored time values to a set of one or more controllers to process to identify multiple latencies experienced by multiple packets processed in the SDDC.

Abstract: A device for recognizing an application in a mobile terminal includes: a coprocessor, configured to identify an image obtained by a signal processing device to obtain a first image category, and determine a first application corresponding to the first image category; and a main processor, configured to receive an identifier of the first application from the coprocessor, and activate the first application or prompt a user to download the first application. The device can relatively accurately determine, based on an image from an image sensor, an application that the user may want to use, and activate the application.

Abstract: An assembly for clamping semiconductor wafers includes a plate and an electrostatic chuck mounted on the plate. A plurality of slots extends between respective portions of the electrostatic chuck to receive arms of an end-effector of a wafer-handler. The arms of the end-effector support semiconductor wafers being placed onto and removed from the electrostatic chuck.
