Abstract: A same-aperture any-frequency simultaneously transmit and receive (STAR) system includes a signal connector having a first port electrically coupled to an antenna, a second port electrically coupled to a transmit signal path, and a third port electrically coupled to receive signal path. The signal connector passes a transmit signal in the transmit signal path to the antenna and a receive signal in the receive signal path. A signal isolator is positioned in the transmit signal path to remove a residual portion of the receive signal from transmit signal path. An output of the signal isolator provides a portion of the transmit signal with the residual portion of the receive signal removed. A signal differencing device having a first input electrically coupled to the output of the signal isolator and a second input electrically coupled to the third port of the signal connector subtracts a portion of the transmit signal in the receive signal path thereby providing a more accurate receive signal.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments for generating hierarchical rotating pcells (parametrized cells) design from a user provided static hierarchical design. An EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tool may receive a hierarchical static design and allow the user to instantiate a top level hierarchical rotating pcell using one or more parameters including an angle parameter to indicate a rotation angle. Based on the one or more parameters, the EDA tool may recursively identify, in the user's static hierarchical design, lower level static cells and replace them with the hierarchical rotating pcells based on the angle parameter in the already instantiated upper level hierarchical rotating pcells. The EDA tool may instantiate and re-instantiate hierarchical rotating pcells until leaf-level cells have been reached to dynamically generate an IC (integrated circuit) design with hierarchical rotating pcells from the user's static hierarchical design such that rotation can be accomplished without flattening the IC design.

Abstract: An improved technique pushes change notifications to application instances running on frontend clients. In accordance with the improved technique, a backend system sends compact change notifications merely to inform the application instances that contents of the data storage container have changed. The application instances may then respond by requesting the changed content of the data storage container. In response to the request, the backend system provides the requested contents.

Abstract: Spiral forming methods can be used to join edges of a rolled material along a spiral joint to form conical and/or cylindrical structures. Alignment of the edges of the rolled material can be controlled in a wrapping direction as the material is being joined along the spiral joint to form the structure. By controlling alignment of the edges of the material as the edges of the material are being joined, small corrections can be made over the course of forming the structure facilitating control over geometric tolerances of the resulting spiral formed structure.

Abstract: An antenna structure includes a metal housing, a first ground portion, a second ground portion, a first feed source, and a coupling portion. The metal housing includes a front frame, a backboard, and a side frame. The side frame defines a slot and the front frame defines a first groove and a first gap. The slot, the first groove, and the first gap separate a first antenna section from the metal housing. The first ground portion and the second ground portion are both electrically connected to the first antenna section and grounded. One end of the coupling portion is electrically connected to the first feed source. The coupling portion is spaced apart from the first antenna section and current from the first feed source is coupled to the first antenna section through the coupling portion.

Abstract: An ordering system includes a plurality of ticket order release bitmap blocks that together store a ticket order release bitmap, a bus and a Global Reordering Block (GRO). Each Ticket Order Release Bitmap Block (TORBB) stores a different part of the ticket order release bitmap. A first TORBB of the plurality of TORBBs is protected. The GRO 1) receives a queue entry onto the ordering system from a thread, 2) receives a ticket release command from the thread, and in response 3) outputs a return data of ticket release command. The queue entry includes a first sequence number. The return data of ticket release command indicates if a bit in the protected TORBB was set. An error code is included in the return data of ticket release command if a bit is set within the protected TORBB. When a bit in the TORBB is set the thread stops processing packets.
