  • Publication number: 20240134737
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for error detection and recovery when streaming data are described. A system includes one or more companion direct memory access (DMA) subsystems for transferring data. When an error is detected for a component of the companion DMA subsystem(s), the operations performed by the other components need to gracefully adapt to this error so that operations face only a minimal disruption. For example, while one or more consumers are still consuming a first frame, a companion router receives an indication of an error for a second frame, causing the companion router to send a router frame abort message to a route manager. In response, the route manager waits until the consumer(s) are consuming the second frame before sending them a frame abort message. The consumer(s) flush their pipeline and transition to an idle state waiting for a third frame after receiving the frame abort message.

  • Patent number: 8845935
    Abstract: The invention provide a method for cast-molding hydrogel contact lenses, especially silicone hydrogel contact lenses by using plastic molds of a poly(cycloalkylene-dialkylene terephthalate) copolymer. These plastic molds do not need to be degassed and stored in an oxygen-free atmosphere (e.g., N2 or Ar) before being used for cast-molding silicone hydrogel contact lenses in the absence of oxygen and resultant silicone hydrogel lenses can still have relatively high ion permeability and relatively low variation in targeted optical power, compared with silicone hydrogel lenses made from a conventional mold material, such as polypropylene. The invention also provides plastic molds for cast-molding silicone hydrogel contact lenses.

  • Patent number: 8207481
    Abstract: A guidance system may include an optical system to focus incident radiation onto a detector configured to generate at least one guidance signal in response to the focused incident radiation. The optical system may include a first lens having a first side and a second side, the first side consisting of a Fresnel lens formed on a generally convex surface and the second side being generally planar.

  • Publication number: 20090294574
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a wave guide according to various aspects of the present invention may be implemented in conjunction with a radiation collection device comprising a light pipe, a first plate and a second plate. The first plate and the second plate may be inserted into the interior of the light pipe to divide the light pipe into sections. In one embodiment, a first section plate and at least a second section plate are inserted into a light pipe. The inserted first section plate and the at least second section plate may be secured to the light pipe.

  • Patent number: 4908947
    Abstract: The modular pocketknife system is assembled from a number of modules. Each of these modules consists at least of a tool element (12, 13) and of at least one connecting element (8, 11). The modules can be ranged side by side in any desired number and sequence, the connecting elements being provided with an electronic contact element (1) for data transmission, a locking element (2, 4, 5), and a sealing element, so that the modules are fashioned splash-proofly mechanically and electronically interconnectible and lockable and detachable from one another again.
