  • Publication number: 20130205103
    Abstract: A programmable logic controller (PLC) with changing memory access times is intended to interact with a subordinate system, i.e., a discontinuous virtualized system, wherein a computation apparatus is provided, in which the PLC is implemented and in which the system that is subordinate to the PLC with respect to an operation to access the memory access is implemented. A memory to which a component of the PLC has access is integrated in the PLC. Also implemented in the computation apparatus is a proxy device that coordinates access to the memory of the PLC by the subordinate system such that simultaneous access by the component of the PLC has priority over access by the subordinate system and it is thus possible to ensure that the PLC always complies with a predefined cycle time of the PLC.

  • Publication number: 20130107344
    Abstract: A microcavity-controlled two-dimensional carbon lattice structure device selectively modifies to reflect or to transmit, or emits, or absorbs, electromagnetic radiation depending on the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation. The microcavity-controlled two-dimensional carbon lattice structure device employs a graphene layer or at least one carbon nanotube located within an optical center of a microcavity defined by a pair of partial mirrors that partially reflect electromagnetic radiation. The spacing between the mirror determines the efficiency of elastic and inelastic scattering of electromagnetic radiation inside the microcavity, and hence, determines a resonance wavelength of electronic radiation that is coupled to the microcavity. The resonance wavelength is tunable by selecting the dimensional and material parameters of the microcavity. The process for manufacturing this device is compatible with standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) manufacturing processes.

  • Publication number: 20130099204
    Abstract: Carbon nanotubes can be aligned with compatibility with semiconductor manufacturing processes, with scalability for forming smaller devices, and without performance degradation related to structural damages. A planar structure including a buried gate electrode and two embedded electrodes are formed. After forming a gate dielectric, carbon nanotubes are assembled in a solution on a surface of the gate dielectric along the direction of an alternating current (AC) electrical field generated by applying a voltage between the two embedded electrodes. A source contact electrode and a drain contact electrode are formed by depositing a conductive material on both ends of the carbon nanotubes. Each of the source and drain contact electrodes can be electrically shorted to an underlying embedded electrode to reduce parasitic capacitance.

  • Patent number: 8024373
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a data management system has a basic function configurator to define a generic basic function, whereby the function to be performed is to be depicted in a basic function by means of descriptive attributes and associated values or value ranges necessary for processing the basic function. The function is to be depicted on a data set to which a distribution rule is allocated. A data set, with its associated distribution rules, defines a generic basic function. The data sets which define the generic basic functions, together with their distribution rules for access by a product template configurator, are contained in a basic function list. The product template configurator combines one or several basic functions and transfers these to a product template, in that the generic basic functions are mutated into specific basic functions for the product template concerned by transferring or restricting the values.
