Abstract: An Ethernet device comprises a plurality of Management Data Input/Output (MDIO) Manageable Device (MMD) registers storing Ethernet register field definitions that operate a management interface to one or more MMD devices. An MDIO controller, communicatively coupled to the plurality of MMD registers can control communication via the management interface to the one or more MMD devices based on a mapping of the set of Ethernet register field definitions to the plurality of MMD registers, and dynamically modify the mapping of the set of Ethernet register field definitions to the plurality of MMD registers.

Abstract: A device to detect and quantify a force applied on a surface includes a test specimen, an electrically insulating substrate, a first electrode bound to the substrate, a second electrode, an assembly of conductive or semi-conductive nanoparticles in contact with the two electrodes, and a measurement device. The measurement device provides proportional information with respect to an electrical property of the nanoparticles assembly. The electrical property is measured between the first and second electrode. The test specimen is the nanoparticles assembly itself and the electrical property is sensitive to the distance between the nanoparticles of the assembly. The nanoparticles assembly itself is used as a test specimen and allows a force to be quantified even if the nanoparticles assembly is deposited on a rigid substrate.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for measuring the pressure of a fluid carried in a conduit. The device comprises a first electrode, a second electrode, a nanoassembly of conductive or semi-conductive nanoparticles in contact with the two electrodes, and a measurement device. The measurement device provides proportional information with respect to an electrical property of the nanoassembly. The electrical property is measured between the first and second electrode, and the electrical property is sensitive to the distance between the nanoparticles of the nanoassembly. The nanoassembly is mechanically linked to a flexible substrate having a mechanical linkage with the fluid carried in the conduit such that the distances between the nanoparticles of the nanoassembly are modified by a pressure variation in the fluid.
