  • Patent number: 10923790
    Abstract: Systems and methods which provide low-loss dielectric microstrip line (DML) circuits for use with respect to signals in the terahertz frequency range are described. Low-loss DML integrated circuits of embodiments, such as may comprise DML transmission lines, DML couplers, DML crossovers, etc., may be based on silicon technology and are adapted for signal frequencies in the range of 750-925 GHz. A DML circuit implementation may be comprised of silicon on insulator based DML structure having a silicon dioxide (SiO2) insulation layer as the middle layer of the DML, wherein the device layer (HR—Si) and the handle layer (HR—Si) are the top and bottom layers of the DML. A high-precision fabrication process for the SOI wafer, wherein the height of the dielectric microstrip lines can be accurately controlled, may be utilized to fabricate DML circuits of embodiments.

  • Publication number: 20200259766
    Abstract: A memory of a network device is divided into first blocks, each first block being divided into second blocks, and each second block including a first storage space and second storage space. When a packet is stored, second blocks occupied by the packet are determined based on a packet length and a first storage space length, and the packet is stored into a first storage space of each of the second blocks. For each of the second blocks, a PD corresponding to the second block is generated, and stored into a second storage space of the second block. When a packet is read, the second blocks to be read are determined based on a start address of the packet. A packet fragment is read from a first storage space of the second blocks to be read, and the read packet segments are composed into the second packet to be sent.
