Abstract: A CAM system (200) can include a number of entries (202-0 to 202-3) having one portion for storing a data value (e.g., E1) and another portion for storing a replicated data value (E1(REP)). For on-the-fly error correction, the entries can be searched by applying an appended key value that includes a key portion (KEY) and replicated key portion (KEY(REP)).

Abstract: A method for tracing an instrumented program using a thread, including transferring control of the instrumented program to a trap handler to obtain an original instruction associated with a probe, loading the original instruction into a scratch space, setting a program counter to point to the scratch space, setting a next program counter to point to a next instruction, and executing the original instruction in the scratch space using the thread, wherein executing the original instruction results in placing the instrumented program in a state equivalent to natively executing the original instruction.

Abstract: An infrastructure is provided for creating applications for mobile information devices, using a tag-based markup language. Developers can use the markup language to define applications and content based on easily manipulated textual tags, rather than having to write specific source code. A compiler, processes the tags in several phases. In one phase, a hierarchical object model of the application is populated with objects. Then, in another phase, a generator traverses the object model hierarchy in a top-down manner, producing source code files corresponding to objects in the object model. The code files may include various elements, for example screens, forms, and servlets. For each element required to be generated, an appropriately configured generator class is invoked. The output code can be Java source code.

The wavelengths may be selected to emulate or provide warm light, cold light.

Abstract: A method of tuning a test trace that is capacitively coupled to a number of signal traces. A method for determining a configuration of a device comprising signal traces and a capacitively coupled test trace may include selecting a test frequency of a test signal to be driven on selected signal traces during a test mode of device operation, and tuning circuit characteristics of the test trace to generate a bandpass frequency response including a passband and a stopband, where a detection frequency corresponding either to the test frequency or a selected harmonic of the test frequency is included in the passband. Tuning of circuit characteristics may include selecting a degree of capacitive coupling between the test trace and the signal traces such that, within a specified constraint for signal degradation on the signal traces, the bandpass frequency response of the given test trace satisfies a specified transmission requirement at the detection frequency.

Abstract: A multi-frequency receiver for receiving plural frequencies of electromagnetic radiation (e.g., light) using a beam of charged particles shared between plural resonant structures. The direction of the beam of charged particles is selectively controlled by at least one deflector. The beam of charged particles passing near the resonant structure is altered on at least one characteristic as a result the presence of the electric field induced on the corresponding resonant structure. Alterations in the beam of charged particles are thus correlated to data values encoded by the electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract: A registry service is described which uses a partitioned publisher assertion recording and accessing scheme. A publisher assertion regarding a relationship between entities (e.g., business or other types of entities) is encoded within a directory information tree in a memory. The publisher assertion includes publisher assertion part nodes corresponding to entity nodes in the directory information tree. The publisher assertion is complete if all publisher assertion parts corresponding to entities in the relationship are present in the directory information tree. The service may include a network including directory servers and registry servers. The publisher assertions are manipulated by authorized publishers and accessed by users using a variety of techniques, the operations of which are performed by such parties and/or are encoded upon computer-readable media.

Abstract: A garbage collector that reclaims memory for a mutator does so space-incrementally, employing remembered sets associated with respective heap regions to keep track of where the mutator has notified it of writing references into the associated regions. The collector reserves some heap regions for objects that it has found to be “popular,” i.e., to which it has observed a large number of references. When the mutator writes such a reference, it refrains from making the kind of notification to which the garbage collector would otherwise respond by updating a remembered set. Although this deprives the garbage collector of the ability to maintain complete remembered sets for popular-object regions, those regions usually have no unreachable objects or very few, so the collector can dispense with collecting them or can collect them less frequently, in a way that does not rely on remembered sets.

Abstract: A package for an integrated circuit (IC) die comprises a substrate and a lid. The substrate has an upper surface facing an interior of the package and a lower surface facing an exterior of the package. The upper surface of the substrate carries an IC die and provides electrical connections from the IC die to the lower surface of the substrate. The lid includes an outer lid and an inner lid. The inner lid is positioned over the IC die and is in thermal communication with the IC die. The inner lid is formed of a material suitable for conducting heat away from the IC die. The outer lid is attached to the upper surface of the substrate. A gap extends between the outer lid and inner lid.
