Abstract: In embodiments of a folded imaging path camera, a device includes a camera lens module that focuses an image, which is received as reflected light. An image sensor captures the image from the reflected light that is directed at the image sensor. The device also includes one or more optics that fold the reflected light of the image along an imaging path directed through the camera lens module and directed at the image sensor. The imaging path directed through the camera lens module can be approximately perpendicular to an axis along which the reflected light of the image is received via an aperture in the device. Alternatively, the imaging path directed through the camera lens module is approximately parallel to the axis along which the reflected light of the image is received via the aperture in the device.

Abstract: A perforating gun having an outer gun barrel, inside of which an inner barrel is coaxially arranged, carrying perforators that can be ignited by means of a detonating cord leading through the gun barrel and, after ignition, pierce the gun barrel in order to form penetration holes, wherein means are provided for automatically closing the penetration holes after the blast, said means being a swellable medium. In order to ensure that the swellable medium requires little space in the perforating gun and can be easily integrated into the perforating gun, the swellable medium is disposed in a laminary manner inside the perforating gun.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for completing a borehole (1, 2) prior to the start of production, wherein after making the borehole (1, 2) the borehole wall (3) is anchored in a sealed manner with a conveying tube (4) and/or casing tube, and the borehole wall (3) is perforated with perforation units (5) at desired points. To complete a borehole without the use of cemented conveying tubes and/or casing tubes, it is proposed that the conveying tube (3) and/or casing tube be provided on its outer surface with a swellable sealing jacket (6), wherein the sealing jacket (6) swells after activation and anchors the annular gap between the conveying tube (4) and/or casing tube and the borehole wall (3) in a sealed manner and simultaneously centres the conveying tube (4) and/or casing tube in the borehole (1, 2).

Abstract: An SPI switch allows selection of a BIOS memory transparent to a Southbridge chipset component. The SPI switch provides address translation to a selected BIOS memory area under the control of a security module processor. The SPI switch also provides command filtering to prevent commands that represent a security risk such as bulk erase commands. Because the SPI switch allows transparent redirection between BIOS programs, booting in different operating modes may be supported without any changes to the basic computer architecture or major chipset components.

Abstract: A single-chip network processor (12) for a Voice-over-Internet Protocol phone integrates a universal serial bus port (21), a pair of IEEE 802.3 MACs (40), and repeater, and a pair of pulse code modulation (PCM) ports (24) such that the network processor can be easily combined with other peripherals to transmit both voice and computer data over an Internet protocol network.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing packets in a multimedia terminal has a media access controller to send and receive packets from a network. A digital signal processor converts a series of incoming real-time transfer protocol packets into an incoming digital signal and converts an outgoing digital signal into a series of outgoing real-time transfer protocol packets. A compression-decompression unit decompresses the incoming digital signal and generates an output signal to an output device and compresses an input signal from an input device and generates an outgoing digital signal. A central processing unit sends and receives transmission control protocol packets. The apparatus can store a packet in one of a plurality of queues in a buffer and assign a priority to the packet based on whether the packet is a real-time transfer protocol packet or a transfer control protocol packet.

Abstract: An improved Universal Serial Bus interface employing FIFO buffers (300, 800) for interfacing to an application bus and a microprocessor bus, in particular, an XBUS. The interface includes a plurality of transmit/receive channels (114) multiplexed to the application bus and the XBUS. Each transmit channel includes a transmit FIFO buffer (300), a transmit write buffer (308), a transmit push buffer (310), and three transmit state machines: a transmit write state machine (302), a transmit interrupt state machine (313), and a transmit push state machine (313). The transmit state machine (302) and the transmit FIFO (300) are clocked in the USB domain. The transmit write register (308) is clocked in the XBUS domain. Each receive channel includes a receive FIFO buffer (800), a receive state machine (802), and a receive register (806). The receive FIFO (800), the receive state machine (802), and the receive register (806) are all clocked in the USB domain.
