Patent number: 10575350Abstract: A disclosed wireless tunneling system tunnels communications between two processing apparatuses through a wireless link, while maintaining compliance of the communications between the two processing apparatuses with at least two different wired communication protocols. In one embodiment, the wireless tunneling system includes two wireless tunneling apparatuses that communicate with each other through the wireless link. A local wireless tunneling apparatus is coupled to a local processing apparatus through a wired connection and a remote wireless tunneling apparatus is coupled to the remote processing apparatus through another wired connection. The two processing apparatuses may communicate with each other through the wireless link using the two wireless tunneling apparatuses as if the two processing apparatuses were connected through wired connections.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Ubistar Technology, Inc.Inventors: Sohrab Emami, Brian Henry John, Jean-Marc Laurent, Nishit Kumar, Wen Tang, Hai Zhu

Patent number: 8324656Abstract: Embodiments of integrated circuits for mitigating against electrostatic coupling are described. In an embodiment, first gate dielectrics are respectively located over first active regions. First isolation regions are respectively located between the first active regions. Second gate dielectrics are respectively located over second active regions. Second isolation regions are respectively located between the second active regions. In an embodiment, the first active regions are approximately 20 to 80 percent shorter in height/thickness than the second active regions. In another embodiment, the first isolation regions extend above an uppermost surface of the first gate dielectrics while providing gaps between the first isolation regions and sidewalls of the first active regions for receipt of material used in formation of conductive lines. In yet another embodiment, active area stripes are narrower in width at p-base regions and n-base regions than at cathode regions and anode regions respectively thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2011Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: T-RAM Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Rajesh N.

Patent number: 8174046Abstract: Method and apparatus for an integrated circuit having memory including thyristor-based memory cells is described. A pair of the thyristor-based memory cells are commonly coupled via a bitline region, where a parasitic bipolar junction transistor is defined therebetween responsive to the bitline region being common. In another implementation, the pair of the thyristor-based memory cells are commonly coupled via the anode region, where a parasitic bipolar junction transistor is defined therebetween responsive to the anode region being common. The common bitline or anode region, respectively, has a locally thinned region to inhibit charge transfer between the pair via the parasitic bipolar junction transistor. Moreover, a method for forming a field-effect transistor on a silicon-on-insulator wafer is described, where charge transfer facilitated by a parasitic bipolar transistor is reduced responsive to an increase in dopants at least proximate to an insulator layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2006Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: T-RAM Semiconductor, IncInventors: Marc Laurent Tarabbia, Maxim Ershov, Rajesh N.

Patent number: 8138277Abstract: Disclosed are silane-modified urea derivatives which can be produced by reacting diisocyanates with aminosilanes, hydroxysilanes, or mercaptosilanes. The inventive silane-modified urea derivatives are suitable especially for use as auxiliary rheological agents, preferably as thixotropic agents for silane-crosslinking systems, particularly for single-component and two-component adhesives and sealants, paint, lacquers, and coating while causing substantially no increase in viscosity, not being subject to discoloring, being reactive, and positively influencing mechanics.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2006Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Construction Research & Technology GmbHInventors: Tobias Austermann, Michael Duetsch, Marc Laurent, Helmut Mack, Michael Porsch, Konrad Wernthaler

Patent number: 7610528Abstract: A system for configuring or testing memory may cycle a memory array while substantially concurrently performing other functional testing. In particular implementations, the system may configure, or cycle, a flash memory using a serial interface and test other functional units using the same serial interface substantially concurrently with cycling the flash memory. In some implementations, cycling the flash memory includes erasing and writing to the flash memory in specific patterns in order to dissipate charge that may have accumulated during a fabrication process.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2006Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: ATMEL CorporationInventors: Marc Laurent, Frode Milch Pedersen

Patent number: 7428610Abstract: Writing to a page of flash memory may include receiving write commands that are substantially independent of an internal architecture of the flash memory. In certain embodiments, two operand flash commands are received at a flash controller from a remote controller. In various implementations, the writing process may further include translating each two-operand write command into architecture-dependent flash commands; executing the architecture-dependent flash commands to fill a page buffer associated with the flash memory; and subsequently transferring contents of the page buffer to the page of flash memory.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2006Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: ATMEL CorporationInventors: Frode Milch Pedersen, Marc Laurent

Patent number: 7411913Abstract: A process for automatically detecting and configuring with the throughput of a network, in which a device: (a) goes into a listen mode; (b) obtains a triplet of successive transitions in a transmitted signal, the triplet delimiting first and second signal levels, one dominant and the other recessive; (c) measures the duration of each of the first and second levels; (d) as a function of the measured durations, obtains a new throughput configuration by determining values for parameters that define a bit length LBIT; (e) validates the new throughput configuration; (g) if at least one throughput adaptation condition is verified, goes into a normal mode, otherwise obtains a next transition of the signal, which delimits with the last previous transition a new level of the signal, then measures the duration of the new level and reiterates steps (d) to (g) taking account of the new signal level.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2005Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: Atmel Nantes SAInventors: Laurentiu Birsan, Marc Laurent, Thierry Delalande, Jean-Sebastien Berthy
