  • Publication number: 20130161529
    Abstract: When using micro-resonant structures, a resonant structure may be turned on or off (e.g., when a display element is turned on or off in response to a changing image or when a communications switch is turned on or off to send data different data bits). Rather than turning the charged particle beam on and off, the beam may be moved to a position that does not excite the resonant structure, thereby turning off the resonant structure without having to turn off the charged particle beam. In one such embodiment, at least one deflector is placed between a source of charged particles and the resonant structure(s) to be excited. When the resonant structure is to be turned on (i.e., excited), the at least one deflector allows the beam to pass by undeflected. When the resonant structure is to be turned off, the at least one deflector deflects the beam away from the resonant structure by an amount sufficient to prevent the resonant structure from becoming excited.

  • Publication number: 20130166876
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for using a previous column pointer to read a subset of entries of an array in a processor. The array may have a plurality of rows and columns of entries, and each entry in the subset may reside on a different row of the array. A previous column pointer may be generated for each of the rows of the array based on a plurality of bits indicating the number of valid entries in the subset to be read, the previous column pointer indicating whether each entry is in a current column or a previous column. The entries in the subset may be read and re-ordered, and invalid entries in the subset may be replaced with nulls. The valid entries and nulls may then be outputted.

  • Publication number: 20130163131
    Abstract: Electronic component protection power supply clamp circuits comprising a plurality of p-type channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) and n-type channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) transistors are described. These clamp circuits use a feedback latching circuit to retain an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-triggered state and efficiently conduct ESD current that has been diverted into the power supply, in order to dissipate ESD energy. The feedback latching circuit also maintains a clamp transistor in its off state if the clamp circuit powers up untriggered, thus enhancing the clamp circuit's immunity to noise during normal operation. Passive resistance initialization of key nodes to an untriggered state, as well as passive resistance gate input loading of a large ESD clamping transistor, further enhances the clamp circuit's immunity to false triggering.
