  • Publication number: 20170176523
    Abstract: Existing multi-wire debugging protocols, such as 4-wire JTAG, 2-wire cJTAG, or ARM SWD, are run through a serial wireless link by providing the debugger and the target device with hardware interfaces that include UARTs and conversion bridges. The debugger interface serializes outgoing control signals and de-serializes returning data. The target interface de-serializes incoming control signals and serializes outgoing data. The actions of the interfaces are transparent to the inner workings of the devices, allowing re-use of existing debugging software. Compression, signal combining, and other optional enhancements increase debugging speed and flexibility while wirelessly accessing target devices that may be too small, too difficult to reach, or too seal-dependent for a wired connection.

  • Publication number: 20170133631
    Abstract: A method for improving the operation of an OLED includes maximizing on-radiative transfer of excited state energy from the OLED's organic emissive material to surface plasmon polaritons in an enhancement layer by providing the enhancement layer no more than a threshold distance away from the organic emissive layer; and emitting light into free space from the enhancement layer by scattering the energy from the surface plasmon polaritons through an outcoupling layer that is provided proximate to the enhancement layer but opposite from the organic emissive layer.

  • Publication number: 20170115344
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms to exchange test, debug or trace (TDT) information via a general purpose input/output (I/O) interface. In an embodiment, an I/O interface of a device is coupled to an external TDT unit, wherein the I/O interface is compatible with an interconnect standard that supports communication of data other than any test information, debug information or trace information. One or more circuit components reside on the device or are otherwise coupled to the external TDT unit via the I/O interface. Information exchanged via the I/O interface is generated by, or results in, the performance of one or more TDT operations to evaluate the one or more circuit components. In another embodiment, the glue logic of the device interfaces the I/O interface with a test access point that is coupled between the one or more circuit components and the I/O interface.
