An asynchronous multi-rail circuit is configured to receive input data and transmit output data. A completion detection circuit is configured to generate a completion detection signal for the asynchronous multi-rail circuit. A variable clock generator configured to be driven by at least the completion detection signal. A synchronous circuit element configured to receive at least a portion of the output data and configured to be clock driven by a clock signal from the variable clock generator. A period of the clock signal represents a running speed of the asynchronous circuit.

Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to analyze an asynchronous, multi-rail digital circuit to identify a gating sub-circuit and a gated sub-circuit. The asynchronous, multi-rail digital circuit is transformed to segregate the gating sub-circuit and the gated sub-circuit.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, a system for identifying when a running speed of an integrated circuit is within an applied clock speed is provided. A monotonic circuit is configured to receive input data and transmit output data. A completion detection circuit is configured to generate a completion detection signal for the monotonic circuit. A comparator is configured to compare at least the completion detection signal and a clock signal, and configured to emit an error signal if the clock signal arrives before the completion detection signal. A synchronous circuit element is configured to receive at least a portion of the output data and configured to be clock driven by the clock signal. The error signal represents that the clock speed is faster than an operating speed of the monotonic circuit.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for the in vivo, non-invasive, early detection of alterations and mapping of the grade of these alterations, caused in the biochemical and/or in the functional characteristics of epithelial tissues during the development of tissue atypias, dysplasias, neoplasias and cancers. The method is based, at least in part, on the simultaneous measurement of the spatial, temporal and spectral alterations in the characteristics of the light that is re-emitted from the tissue under examination, as a result of a combined tissue excitation with light and special chemical agents. The topical or systematic administration of these agents result in an evanescent contrast enhancement between normal and abnormal areas of tissue. The apparatus enables the capturing of temporally successive imaging in one or more spectral bands simultaneously.

Abstract: A method of producing an ohmic contact to p-type silicon carbide comprising two layers, the first one comprising nickel silicide and the second one comprising titanium carbide is disclosed. The deposited layers are annealed to convert at least a part of deposited metals to nickel silicide and titanium carbide. The contact is formed by reaction between the metals and the semiconductor, and thus the in-situ simultaneous formation of metal silicide and carbide suppress the release of excess carbon at the contact interface. Noble metals may be deposited preferably in between titanium and nickel to improve the contact morphology.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pipeline buffer for simultaneously transferring N words at each of a succession of clock cycles (CK), comprising N one-word side memories (M0-M3) successively connected such that successive memories each are accessed with one clock cycle delay. The N memories are subjected to the same read or write cycles by control circuitry.
