Abstract: A method for producing potassium-doped pyrogenic oxides involves mixing a gaseous mixture including a pyrogenic oxide precursor and an aqueous aerosol containing a potassium salt to form an aerosol-gaseous mixture which is then reacted in a flame under conditions suitable for producing pyrogenic oxides by flame oxidation or flame hydrolysis to form the potassium-doped pyrogenic oxides product. The particle product is spherical, has a BET surface between 1 and 1000 m2/g and a narrow distribution of particle size of at least 0.7. The doped oxides can be used as polishing material (CMP application).

It is produced by transferring a vaporous starting compound of the quantitatively greater component of the mixed oxide into a mixing chamber by means of primary air and a vaporous starting compound of the quantitatively smaller component of the mixed oxide by means of an inert gas, and burning the mixture mixed with hydrogen in a mixing chamber into a reaction chamber. It can be used as a catalyst support.

Abstract: A system and method for determining which of several possible cable lengths has been used by reversing the end-to-end correspondence of at least two conductors in the cable. A different two conductors are selected to identify respective different cable lengths. Each input pin is connected to a correspondingly identified output pin, except for the pair with the outputs reversed, which pair signifies the cable length.

Abstract: A software driven emulator in which the stored emulation program for a processor module is compiled to include a code bit or bits in the emulation instruction step sequence that is decoded as main data memory disable command. Thus, once in each emulation program cycle, the memory controller disables the main data memories on the module, and allows the maintenance bus to read or write data to these memories.

Abstract: Clusters of processors are interconnected as an emulation engine such that processors share input and data stacks, and the setup and storing of results are done in parallel, but the output of one evaluation unit is connected to the input of the next evaluation unit. A set of ‘cascade’ connections provides access to the intermediate values. By tapping intermediate values from one processor, and feeding them to the next, a significant emulation speedup is achieved.

Abstract: In an emulator processor cluster, the read ports of a shared input and data memory stack are time multiplexed to serve more than one processor. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a 256×8 memory array serves as the shared memory for four processors in a cluster. Two read ports are time multiplexed among the four processors in the cluster. On one read cycle, data from the two read ports is coupled to two processors. The next read cycle reads data from the same two ports to the remaining two processors. In the preferred embodiment, the memory operates at twice the system clock speed so that overall emulation process execution time is not effected.

Abstract: A system and method for bulk transfer to and from the SRAMs in which a starting memory address is latched and is then incremented every clock cycle to generate a new memory address. The addresses are decoded and memory requests are pipelined to the SRAM memory, one every clock cycle. When the memory controller detects transfer of the boundary of a predetermined number of clock cycles or words (e.g. 64 words or four clock cycles) the burst mode of data transfer is stopped and the memory controller waits for a “done” signal before resuming another cycle of the burst transfer mode. The memory controller on detecting a request on this address boundary first does a memory refresh followed by a requested operation; e.g. a continuation of the transfer operation.
