  • Publication number: 20220231889
    Abstract: An example method for clock and data recovery (CDR) includes generating, in a set of slicers of a receiver, in addition to a data signal and a first error signal, at least one additional error signal. The method further includes receiving, at a frequency detector (FD) of a CDR unit of the receiver, the data signal, the first error signal, and the at least one additional error signal, and processing them to generate a FD output. The method still further includes multiplying the FD output by a user-defined FD gain, and adding the FD output, as multiplied by the FD gain, in a frequency path of the CDR unit.

  • Publication number: 20120028908
    Abstract: A process for preparing a crystalline rapamycin analog includes: combining the rapamycin analog with an organic medium to form a mixture; incubating the mixture until the rapamycin analog crystallizes; and recovering the crystalline rapamycin analog. The organic medium can be a solvent, and the process can include causing the rapamycin analog to dissolve into the solvent, and incubating the solvent until the rapamycin analog crystallizes. The following can also be performed: forming a slurry of crystalline rapamycin analog; stirring the rapamycin analog mixture until the rapamycin analog crystallizes; saturating the rapamycin analog solution; forming a supersaturated rapamycin analog solution; combining an antisolvent with the rapamycin analog and the solvent to form a biphasic mixture, and incubating the biphasic mixture to cause a liquid-liquid phase split.
