Abstract: A pluggable optical module may include a housing enclosing one or more optical components and one or more electrical components. The pluggable optical module may include a slider to move along an exterior wall of the housing in association with latching or unlatching the pluggable optical module. The pluggable optical module may include an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield arranged in a gap between the slider and the exterior wall of the housing such that the EMI shield contacts the slider and the exterior wall of the housing. The EMI shield reduce EMI radiation passing through the gap.

Abstract: An electric spice mill comprising a power unit coupled to the motor of the mill, the power unit comprising: (i) first and second electric circuits; (ii) a switch in electrical contact with said first and said second electric circuits; and (iii) an actuator movable between first and second positions, wherein, in the first position, the actuator prevents current flow in the first electric circuit and, in the second position, the actuator allows a first current to flow in the first electric circuit and the switch is responsive to the first current in the first electric circuit to allow a second current to flow in the second electric circuit such that the grinding unit of the mill is driven by the motor.

Abstract: A CAM device features matchlines which are coupled in series between a top current source, a bottom current source, and ground. The top current source is configured to supply a first current to the matchline and the bottom current source, while the bottom current source is configured to supply a second current to ground. The magnitude of the first current is limited by the operation of the CAM cells coupled to the matchline, and is duplicated by a current mirror architecture. The mirrored of the first current, known as the sense current, is coupled to a measurement circuit to measure the state of the matchline. This architecture features lower power consumption and faster matchline evaluations.
