  • Serial data receiver circuit with dither assisted equalization
    Patent number: 11757681
    Abstract: To compensate for intersymbol interference, a serial data receiver circuit included in a computer system may include an equalizer circuit that includes a digital-to-analog converter circuit. Based on previously received symbols, the equalizer circuit modifies a signal received via a communication channel or link prior to clock and data recovery. In cases when the digital-to-analog converter circuit becomes saturated, the equalizer circuit additionally uses a dither signal to modify the received signal.

  • Apparatus and method for un-delayed decision feedback with sample and hold at selected timing
    Patent number: 10003479
    Abstract: A multi-phase partial response receiver supports various incoming data rates by sampling PrDFE output values at a selected one of at least two clock phases. The receiver includes a calibration circuit that performs a timing analysis of critical data paths in the circuit, and this analysis is then used to select the particular clock phase used to latch the output values. These techniques permit the multiplexer outputs from for each phase of the partial response receiver to directly drive selection of a multiplexer for the ensuing phase, i.e., by avoiding regions of instability or uncertainty in the respective multiplexer outputs.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and systems for proximity communications. The apparatus may include an integrated circuit (IC) package with a central processing unit (CPU) circuit, an input-output (I/O) circuit coupled with the CPU circuit, and a dielectric electromagnetic waveguide coupled with the I/O circuit, to enable communications between the CPU circuit and another apparatus. In another instance, the apparatus may include a plurality of coupler pads disposed on a first surface of the apparatus; and a processor electrically coupled with the coupler pads. One of the coupler pads may form capacitive coupling with one of coupler pads disposed on a second surface of another apparatus, in response to a placement of the first surface in at least partial contact with the second surface, to enable proximity data communication between the processor and the other apparatus. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Window grouping
    Patent number: 9678619
    Abstract: A framework is provided for obtaining window information. The window information can be applied to different assignment models to assign windows to different groups. A group may correspond to a task being performed by a user. The window information can be semantic or temporal information captured as window events and properties of windows whose events are captured. Temporal information can be information about switches between windows. Semantic information can be window titles. Temporal information, semantic information, or both, can be used to assign windows to groups.
