Abstract: Adaptive clock mechanisms for serial links utilizing a delay-chain-based edge generation circuit to generate a clock that is a faster (higher-frequency) version of an incoming digital clock. The base frequency of the link clock utilized by the line transmitters is determined by the (slower) clock utilized by the digital circuitry supplying data to the line transmitters. An edge generator that may be composed of only non-synchronous circuit elements multiplies the edges of the slower clock to generate the link clock and also a clock forwarded to the receiver at a phase offset from the link clock.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using a structured data database and for exchanging electronic files containing unstructured or partially structured data. A system stores first structured data in a database, wherein the structured data represents a property. The system generates an electronic file, including by (a) storing unstructured data in the electronic file, wherein the unstructured data causes a representation of the property to be rendered on a face of a document represented by the file and (b) storing an identifier in the electronic file indicating a location in the database at which the first structured data is stored. The file is transmitted outside the system. Upon receipt of a copy of the file, the system reads the identifier from the copy of the received file and accesses the database location indicated by the identifier read from the received file.
