  • OPTICAL INTERCONNECTS IN COOLING SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20120020020
    Abstract: Fluid-cooling technology developed for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electronics assemblies is combined with optical-based interconnect technology, thereby enabling efficient fabrication of PCBs with free-space optical bearers. Since cooling components such as fans and heat sinks are no longer required on the PCB, the PCB is thinner and makes better use of a cooling substrate by also using it to carry optical signals. A card or a backplane supporting a plurality of active components can combine optical signals and cooling aspects in support of those components.

  • COMMUNICATION METHOD SUPERVISED BY AN INTERFERENCE CLASSIFICATION
    Publication number: 20120021787
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication method supervised by an interference classification. For two couples of transmitting and receiving terminals having communications using the same radio resources and interfering with each other, a partition of the interference diagram into a plurality of distinct zones is determined, each zone corresponding to a particular processing. For an operating point of the transmitting and receiving terminals, the zone in which this point is located is determined, and the processing associated with that zone is performed in at least one of the receiving terminals.

  • PROCESS FOR PRODUCING TWO INTERLEAVED PATTERNS ON A SUBSTRATE
    Publication number: 20120021606
    Abstract: A process for producing two interleaved patterns on a substrate uses photolithography and etching to produce, on the substrate, a first pattern of first material protruding regions separated by recessed regions. A non-conformal deposition of a second material on the first pattern forms cavities in the recessed regions of the first pattern. These cavities are opened and filled with a third material. The second material is then removed, and the remaining third material forms a second pattern of third material protruding regions, wherein the second pattern is interleaved with the first pattern.

    Publication number: 20120020421
    Abstract: Inter-cell interference coordination across layers of a communication network can be implemented by configuring a cell to transmit one or more downlink transmission resources having variably reduced transmission activity. A transmitting node, such as a macro cell, can transmit transmission resources, such as resource elements, resource blocks, subframes, and frames, having reduced transmission activity at varying predictable times according to a selected cell activity pattern. A receiving node, such as a user equipment, can decide to make received signal measurements according to the cell activity pattern.
