Abstract: A panel system includes a chassis holding one or more tray arrangements, which are each configured to receive one or more cassettes at two or more bays. The tray arrangements and cassettes cooperate to define a cassette sensor arrangement and a port occupancy sensor arrangement having separate interface points. The cassette sensor arrangement may include electronic memory storing physical layer information about the cassette. All active components of the port occupancy sensor arrangement are disposed on the tray while the electronic memories of the cassette sensor arrangement are stored on the cassettes.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods disclosed herein relate to selecting an application host system (for example, a server at a data center) to host an instance of a multiplayer video game session that assesses a quality of a connection to the application host system for each of the users who request or are selected to play within the multiplayer video game session.

Abstract: Particles are separated from a source viscoplastic fluid by flowing streams of the viscoplastic fluid and a destination fluid in parallel streamed relationship inside a rotating cylindrical annulus by using baffles to introduce each fluid independently at an inlet lower end of the annulus and for separating the upper streams consisting of an un-yielded source and destination flow proximate the radially innermost side of the annulus, a bulk axial flow in a more central region and a yielded layer destination flow adjacent the radial outermost side of the annulus which contains the particles that have separated. Inlet and outlet baffles are provided at each end of the vertically oriented device to maintain the flows discrete on entry and to maintain the separated flows discrete on exit so as to facilitate removal of the component flows from the fractionator.

Abstract: Particles are separated from a source viscoplastic fluid by flowing streams of the viscoplastic fluid and a destination fluid in parallel streamed relationship inside a rotating cylindrical annulus (FIG. 16 (106, 102b) by using baffles (112, 114) to introduce each fluid independently at an inlet lower end of the annulus and for separating the upper streams consisting of an un-yielded source and destination flow proximate the radially innermost side of the annulus, a bulk axial flow in a more central region and a yielded layer destination flow adjacent the radial outermost side of the annulus which contains the particles that have separated. Inlet and outlet baffles are provided at each end of the vertically oriented device to maintain the flows discrete on entry and to maintain the separated flows discrete on exit so as to facilitate removal of the component flows from the fractionator. The flow is maintained as laminar Poiseuille flow by adjusting the flow rates of the source and destination fluids.

Abstract: A technique is disclosed for generating a plurality of output frames based on a single input frame. An input interface is configured to receive at least a portion of the input frame. An output controller is configured to receive, for each of the plurality of output frames, a new header, and combine each new header with at least a portion of the input frame. An output frame may be generated for which no corresponding input frame exists. An input interface is configured to receive an indication that the output frame should be generated. An output controller is configured to receive a generated header and combine the generated header with a dummy payload to form the output frame.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, configurations, computer program products and systems configure and deploy portable application containers (PACs) in a shared server environment. A method involves receiving metadata describing an application and receiving an instruction on what metadata to use in configuring the application where the application is associated with a PAC. The method also involves transforming the metadata into a list of commands in response to receiving the instruction and deploying the list of commands to a group of servers wherein the commands are operative to create the PAC. The PAC is a logical construct of the application configured to be logically separate from and to execute via any server in the group of servers. Each server in the group of servers can be used by multiple PACs to enable improved utilization of server capacity.

Abstract: The disclosure is of apparatus for generating raster scans on an oscilloscope combined with an electron microscope used for scanning and examining semiconductor devices. A scanning electron microscope can be operated to generate artificial or induced faults in semiconductor memories, and the raster scanner, in carrying out a scan, will visually display on the oscilloscope natural and artificial or induced faulty locations or cells in semiconductor memories. The semiconductor memory under test is positioned at different locations in the microscope, at each of which an artificial fault is generated until a position is reached, at which the artificial fault coincides, or nearly coincides, with the natural fault location as displayed by the raster scanner. When this is achieved, the electron microscope can then be used to examine the naturally faulty location or cell to determine the reason for the fault.

Abstract: The disclosure is of an integrated circuit assembly comprising a base which carries an integrated circuit chip and a cover which protects the chip. The cover has embedded therein a capacitor which has its two leads connected to, or in contact with, two leads on the base when the cover is assembled with the base.

Abstract: The disclosure is of a system including a counter for generating a sequence of logic signals forming a truth table on its output lines. Some of the lines are coupled directly to a memory or buffer and then to a utilization means. Others are coupled through a controllable multiplexer to the memory so that overall, as the counter counts, a desired logic sequence or truth table appears on all of the lines feeding into the memory.The multiplexer can be operated so that several different sizes of matrices can be scanned by suitably setting the controllable multiplexer, and one use of the invention is for scanning and testing memories of various sizes.

Abstract: The fixture comprises an insulating housing of synthetic resinous material which carries two sets of switches which number, in total, the number of terminals on an integrated circuit (IC) to be tested. Each switch has a manually operable arm or lever which can be placed in three separate positions, an upper position, a center position, and a lower position; and the switch has three terminals, an upper terminal, a center terminal, and a lower terminal, one for each position of the operable arm. All of the upper switch terminals are connected together to a first common plug, and all of the lower switch terminals are connected together to a second common plug, the two plugs being adapted to be inserted into a test device such as a curve tracer. Each center terminal is connected separately to a terminal on a zero-insertion force socket, into which the pins of the integrated circuit under test can be inserted.
