  • PRESSURE SENSOR AND METHOD OF PACKAGING SAME
    Publication number: 20120139067
    Abstract: A method of packaging a pressure sensor die that does not use pre-molded lead frames. Instead a lead frame array is attached to a tape and a non-conductive material is deposited on the lead frames. The non-conductive material is cured and the tape is removed. Pressure sensor dies then are attached to respective die pads of the lead frames and electrically connected to lead frame leads with bond wires. A gel is dispensed onto a top surface of the pressure sensor dies and then a lid is attached to each of the lead frames to cover the pressure sensor dies. The lead frames are singulated to form individual pressure sensor packages.

  • Multiple Cycle Memory Write Completion
    Publication number: 20120140581
    Abstract: A memory system that reduces the memory cycle time of a memory cell by performing an incomplete write operation. The voltage on a storage node of the memory cell does not reach a full supply voltage during the incomplete write operation. The incomplete write operation is subsequently completed by one or more additional accesses, wherein the voltage on the storage node is pulled to a full supply voltage. The incomplete write operation may be completed by: subsequently writing the same data to the memory cell during an idle cycle; subsequently writing data to other memory cells in the same row as the memory cell; subsequently reading data from the row that includes the memory cell; or refreshing the row that includes the memory cell during an idle cycle. One or more idle cycles may be forced to cause the incomplete write operation to be completed in a timely manner.

  • DYNAMICALLY GENERATING APPLICATION-LAYER TRAFFIC OPTIMIZATION PROTOCOL MAPS
    Publication number: 20120144066
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for using routing information obtained by operation of network routing protocols to dynamically generate network and cost maps for an application-layer traffic optimization (ALTO) service. For example, an ALTO server of an autonomous system (AS) receives routing information from routers of the AS by listening for routing protocol updates outputted by the routers and uses the received topology information to dynamically generate a network map of PIDs that reflects a current topology of the AS and/or of the broader network that includes the AS. Additionally, the ALTO server dynamically calculates inter-PID costs using received routing information that reflects current link metrics. The ALTO server then assembles the inter-PID costs into a cost map that the ALTO server may provide, along with the network map, to clients of the ALTO service.
