Abstract: A position-identifying bookmark for identifying a reader's position on a page comprises at least one string, and first and second sheets. The first sheet has first and second planar sides, re-adherable adhesive on at least a portion of one of the first and second planar sides, and an aperture passing through the first sheet for connecting to the at least one string. The second sheet has first and second planar sides, re-adherable adhesive on at least a portion of one of the first and second planar sides, and an aperture passing through the second sheet for connecting to the at least one string.

Abstract: A network device comprises a controller that manages data flow through a network interconnecting a plurality of processors. The processors of the processor plurality comprise a local memory divided into a private local memory and a public local memory, a local cache, and working registers. The network device further comprises a plurality of cache mirror registers coupled to the controller that receive data to be forwarded to the processor plurality. The controller is responsive to a request to receive data by transferring requested data directly to public memory without interrupting the processor, and by transferring requested data via at least one cache mirror register for a transfer to processor local cache, and to processor working registers.

Abstract: A network device comprises an interface coupling an electronic device to a differential pair of signal lines, and an integrated active common mode suppression and electrostatic discharge protection circuit coupled to the interface in parallel to differential signal lines of the electronic device.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein describe a network device including a class AB common mode suppression (CMS) circuit coupled in parallel between a line voltage source and a physical layer (PHY) device that provides active EMI suppression and Phy device termination. A network connector is coupled to provide the line voltage source to the class AB CMS circuit. The class AB CMS circuit provides current to the PHY device, terminates open-drain transmit drivers of the PHY device and suppresses common mode noise thereby minimizing electromagnetic interference. In other embodiments, the class AB CMS circuit is coupled in parallel between the network connector and a physical layer (PHY) device. The class AB CMS circuit suppresses common mode noise, and terminates open-drain transmit drivers of the PHY device, thereby minimizing electromagnetic interference.

Abstract: A current-mode controller comprises an inductance element, at least one semiconductor switch coupled to the inductance element, and a ramp compensator coupled to sense an indication of current through the inductance element and coupled to control the at least one semiconductor switch that senses current during on-time of the DC-DC converter, infers current during off-time of the DC-DC converter, and determines a slope compensation signal based on the sensed and inferred currents.
