Abstract: A high-power electro-optic modulator (EOM) is formed to use specialized electrodes of a material selected to have a CTE that matches the CTE of the modulator's crystal. Providing CTE matching reduces the presence of stress-induced birefringence, which is known to cause unwanted modulation of the propagating optical signal. The specialized electrodes are preferably formed of a CuW metal matrix composite having a W/Cu ratio selected to create the matching CTE value. Advantageously, the CuW-based electrodes also exhibit a thermal conductivity about an order of magnitude greater than conventional electrode material (brass, Kovar) and thus provide additional thermal stability to the EOM's performance.

Abstract: A connection request from one computing entity is obtained. The connection request is a request to connect to another computing entity and includes a requested connectivity protocol configuration. A determination is made as to whether the requested connectivity protocol configuration is a match to a particular connectivity protocol configuration of the other computing entity. Based on determining that the requested connectivity protocol configuration is not a match to the particular connectivity protocol configuration of the other computing entity, a selected configuration file that is a match to the requested connectivity protocol configuration is selected from a plurality of configuration files. Based on selecting the selected configuration file, routing of the connection request to a connectivity protocol service corresponding to the selected configuration file is initiated to facilitate establishing a connection between the one computing entity and the other computing entity.

Abstract: High aspect ratio features are formed in a substrate using etching and deposition processes. A partially etched feature is formed by exposure to plasma in a plasma etch chamber. A metal-based liner is subsequently deposited in the partially etched feature using the same plasma etch chamber. The metal-based liner is robust and prevents lateral etch in subsequent etching operations. The metal-based liner may be deposited at temperatures or pressures comparable to temperatures or pressures for etch processes. The metal-based liner may be localized in certain portions of the partially etched feature. Etching proceeds within the feature after deposition without lateral etching in regions where the metal-based liner is deposited.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus to optimize repair in a memory module based on hardware errors identified by microprocessors and a configurable error handling policy. For example, the error handling policy can have a configuration file identifying an amount of repair resources available in the memory module as manufactured. Repair status data can be stored in the memory module to determine repair resources currently available for repair. Further, the error handling policy can be configured with a list of high risk memory addresses prioritized for repair. The list can be used to schedule proactive repair in response to memory errors that would otherwise not be repaired during a typical restarting of the computer system having the memory module.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus to record data relevant to hardware errors identified by microprocessors. For example, in response to a hardware error, a microprocessor can store first data about the error in registers in the microprocessor and start to execute instructions configured in firmware and/or in an operating system. Execution of the instructions in response to the hardware error causes the microprocessor to: generating second data about the error based at least in part on the first data in the registers; and store the second data at a location not affected by restarting execution of an operating system in the processor. For example, the execution of the instructions can cause the microprocessor to decode the first data to obtain a temperature of the computing device as part of the second data.
