Abstract: A hockey puck is disclosed including an internal signal transmitter enabling instantaneous identification of its position as it moves around. The puck includes two molded subcomponents, which encapsulate the signal transmitter. The signal transmitter includes driver electronics and a number of signal transmitters which together generate and emit an electromagnetic signal. The electromagnetic signal is emitted by a plurality of diodes mounted in light pipes enclosed within cavities in the subcomponents that extend to outer surfaces of the hockey puck components. The puck includes two subcomponents that are attached via complimentary sets of concentrically arranged wedges.

Abstract: A method for making electrical interposers which includes the use of a stencil which is thicker than designated lower contact pads and which defines a stencil passage corresponding to each lower contact pad of each interposer. The stencil is attached to a bottom surface of an insulative layer and a conductive elastomeric material is applied to the stencil, so that the stencil passages are filled with said conductive elastomeric material. When this material has been adequately placed within the stencil passages the stencil is removed thus leaving each lower conductive pad with an attached conductive elastomeric pad.

Abstract: An interposer with a contact well, a layer that isolates one side of the interposer from the other side, for isolations of off gasses, and an optional elastomeric pad and a hard stop layer. Included is a method of making the interposer.

Abstract: The waveform of a strobe type signal (70) is specified by two bit strings (72, 74) stored in the RAM (20), one bit string (72) denoting when the strobe is to be reset and the other (74) denoting when the strobe is to be set. The bit positions in the bit strings correspond with clock cycles (76) taken for a DRAM memory access. The bit positions are written by means of addressable registers (71) corresponding to rows (e.g. 80-87) of the RAM. A one bit in the set bit string (72) causes the signal (70) to be asserted in the corresponding clock cycle of the request. A one bit in the reset bit string causes the signal (70) to be de-asserted in the corresponding clock cycle of the request. The set and reset times are fine-tuned to a fraction of a cycle by providing a multi-bit fractional cycle index field (78) to accompany each bit string. If a two bit quarter cycle index (QCI) field is used, the boundaries of the quarter cycles are numbered from 0 to 3.
