Abstract: A wirebond package design that reduces power supply noise and noise coupling using common mode shielding. The package design having lanes with wirebond connections. The wirebond connections have wirebond pads staggered along a longitudinal axis. The wirebond pads accommodate a plurality of shields that isolate differential pairs and adjacent lanes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a removable marking system that includes a removable paint formulation and an aqueous removal formulation, and a method of using this removable marking system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device useful for boring holes into the earth, and is especially useful for drilling holes in which fence posts are to be placed. A device according to the invention is completely self-powered, having its own on-board engine which supplies all of the power necessary for the boring operation and other movements of the device associated therewith. A device according to the invention is readily removable from and attachable to a motorized vehicle equipped with a trailer hitch, and is adapted to configure itself in a retracted position for ease in storage and transportation.

Abstract: A modular photonic waveguide distribution system is disclosed which enables multi-directional and simultaneous communication within a multitude of coherent data processing units. The basic structure of an optical distributor element or module 1 is described and it is shown how the extension to complex data distribution structures can be achieved by respective combinations of the modules. Modes of operation and data selection are demonstrated.
