Patent number: 7600181Abstract: A circuit to reduce noise spikes on the power and ground rails of a chip when switching over an input-output bus, the circuit comprising an encoder to encode a word before transmission over the input-output bus so that the difference in the number of 1 bits and the number of 0 bits in the encoded word is upper bounded, where the upper bound is less than the length of the original word before encoding. An embodiment circuit to implement this encoding comprises partitioning the word into a plurality of smaller words. An embodiment circuit further comprises a number of stages, where in the first stage, there are a plurality of encoders to encode in pair-wise fashion the smaller words. Additional stages also comprise a plurality of encoders, each encoder performing a pair-wise encoding of words outputted by a previous stage. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2006Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Brian Derek Alleyne, John Christian Holst, Hai Ngoc Nguyen

Patent number: 7446870Abstract: The invention relates to a method for verification of particles, in particular of nanoparticles (16), in which a sensor area (15) is made available for this purpose, on which the particles can accumulate. The invention also relates to a sensor arrangement having a sensor area (15) which is suitable for carrying out the method mentioned. The invention provides for a plurality of sensor areas (15) to be arranged, on which particles which each have different characteristics can accumulate. For example, this makes it possible to classify nanoparticles (16) of different size, thus advantageously allowing a statement to be made on the size distribution of the nanoparticles (16) in a nanopowder.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2006Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Frank Arndt, Jan Grahmann, Jens-Christian Holst, Jens Dahl Jensen, Ursus Krüger, Hendrik Rönsch, Arno Steckenborn

Publication number: 20040017150Abstract: Apparatus for illuminating a sample plate (12) which is to be examined for example by fluorescent light excitation of the samples. This apparatus has a plurality of light-emitting diodes (15), which are arranged in an array and whose radiated light is guided in a homogeneous light field through an optical arrangement (19) onto a sample field (22). The intensity of the light field suffices in particular for generating a fluorescent light excitation of the samples (23), which can be determined by a CCD camera (29). This provides a cost-effective light source for generating a light field with sufficient intensity.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2003Publication date: January 29, 2004Inventors: Christian Fricke, Jens-Christian Holst

Patent number: 6258642Abstract: The memory cells at the very edge of an array are susceptible variations in transistor channel length and other attributes due to lithographic proximity effects. To reduce these undesirable edge effects, it is common to add non-functional sacrificial rows and columns of nearly identical memory cells around the periphery of a memory array. These “guard” cells (i.e., “end” cells, or “edge” cells) may provide, for at least the lower masking layers, a homogeneous lithographic environment at the edge of the functional array, but unfortunately consume area without adding to the storage capacity of the array. To save area, a group of functional memory cells in one array may also be used as guard cells for another memory array. The memory cells of the one array may, for example, be redundant memory cells serving the other memory array.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1999Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventor: John Christian Holst

Patent number: 6188596Abstract: A memory module configuration has been developed, which employs multi-level sensing, low-voltage-swing differential signal paths, and array layout techniques to better optimize area/speed/power tradeoffs. In some configurations two-level sensing is employed with secondary sense amplifiers positioned toward a middle of the memory module with memory banks or submodules positioned therearound. Primary sense-amplifiers in the submodules or banks sense differential signals on local bit-lines spanning the corresponding submodule or bank and drive a low-voltage-swing differential signal onto global bit-lines that span a subset of the submodules or banks. The global bit-lines are sensed by secondary sense amplifiers that drive data outputs across a subset of the submodules or banks toward output circuits. In some configurations the memory module is divided into upper and lower portions with upper global bit-lines spanning the upper portion and lower global bit-lines spanning the lower portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1999Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventor: John Christian Holst

Redundancy configurations are further described in which a redundant element is able to overpower a defective element without the need for physical disconnection or logical deselection and in which a given redundant row (or column) may replace a defective row (or column) in one of plural subarrays representing distinct sets of rows (or columns).Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1999Date of Patent: December 5, 2000Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventor: John Christian Holst
