  • Publication number: 20070152743
    Abstract: A 256 Meg dynamic random access memory is comprised of a plurality of cells organized into individual arrays, with the arrays being organized into 32 Meg array blocks, which are organized into 64 Meg quadrants. Sense amplifiers are positioned between adjacent rows in the individual arrays while row decoders are positioned between adjacent columns in the individual arrays. In certain of the gap cells, multiplexers are provided to transfer signals from I/O lines to datalines. A data path is provided which, in addition to the foregoing, includes array I/O blocks, responsive to the datalines from each quadrant to output data to a data read mux, data buffers, and data driver pads. The write data path includes a data in buffer and data write muxes for providing data to the array I/O blocks. A power bus is provided which minimizes routing of externally supplied voltages, completely rings each of the array blocks, and provides gridded power distribution within each of the array blocks.

  • Patent number: 6969081
    Abstract: A bicycle comprises a frame (10) a rear wheel (14) and a rear suspension, which comprises a swing arm (17) carrying the wheel and two pivot links (18, 19) spaced from one another in the fore and aft direction of the bicycle and coupling the arm to the frame to form, together with the frame, a four-bar linkage movable between a first end settings in an unloaded state of the suspension and a second end setting in a loaded state of the suspension. The links (18, 19) are each pivotably connected with the frame outwardly of the wheel circumference and are arranged so that on movement of the linkage from the first to the second end setting an instantaneous pivot center (21) defined by the intersection of two axes (22, 23) each containing the pivot points of a respective one of the links (18, 19) moves downwardly and rearwardly with respect to the fore and aft direction.
