Abstract: Differing from conventional directional coupling device being implemented on a coin-like planar board, the present invention stacks a bottom substrate, at least one phase retarding unit, at least one reference ground unit, a coupled circuit layer, a main circuit layer, and a top substrate to form a miniature directional coupling device. Because this miniature directional coupling device not occupies too much circuit area when being applied in a mobile communication product, the miniature directional coupling device can meet the requirements of light weight and compact size demanded by high-technology mobile communications for the electronic components. It is worth explaining that, since the said phase retarding unit consists of many end-to-end connected transmission wires, engineers skilled in designing microwave circuit are able to carry out the modulation of coupling flatness of the miniature directional coupling device by changing a total length of the end-to-end connected transmission wires.

Abstract: An optical fiber connector includes an inner shell, an outer shell, and a handle. The outer shell is fitted over the inner shell. Two clamping arms are respectively extending from two ends of a side portion of the handle. Accordingly, since the handle and the outer shell are in a point-contact configuration, when a user pulls the handle, the handle drives the outer shell to move backwardly via the configuration and further compress the spring in the inner shell. Therefore, the connector can be detached from the fiber adapter. Conversely, when the user pushes the handle, the push block on the handle pushes the tail cap due to the mating between the push block and the tail cap, so that the optical fiber connector can be inserted into the fiber adapter.

Abstract: A data cache region prefetcher creates a region when a data cache miss occurs. Each region includes a predetermined range of data lines proximate to each data cache miss and is tagged with an associated instruction pointer register (RIP). The data cache region prefetcher compares subsequent memory requests against the predetermined range of data lines for each of the existing regions. For each match, the data cache region prefetcher sets an access bit and attempts to identify a pseudo-random access pattern based on the set access bits. The data cache region prefetcher increments or decrements appropriate counters to track how often the pseudo-random access pattern occurs. If the pseudo-random access pattern occurs frequently, then the next time a memory request is processed with the same RIP and pattern, the data cache region prefetcher prefetches the data lines in accordance with the pseudo-random access pattern for that RIP.
