Abstract: A method includes generating a differential voltage from a first reference voltage generator; receiving the differential voltage at a second reference voltage generator; dividing the differential voltage at the second reference voltage generator into multiple available reference voltage levels; and selecting one of the available reference voltage levels to apply to a circuit.

Abstract: A multi-rank circuit system includes multiple transmitters each switchably coupled to a first end of a shared input/output (IO) channel and a unified receiver coupled to a second end of the shared IO channel. The unified receiver is coupled to apply a preconfigured analog reference voltage to set a differential output of the unified receiver, and further configured to apply a variable digital code to adjust the differential output according to a particular one of the transmitters that is switched to the shared IO channel.

Abstract: A multi-rank system includes multiple circuit ranks communicating over a common data line to multiple data receivers, each corresponding to one or more of the ranks and each having a corresponding reference voltage generator and clock timing adjustment circuit, such that a rank to communicate on the shared data line is switched without reconfiguring outputs of either the reference voltage generators or the clock timing adjustment circuits.

Abstract: An example apparatus disclosed herein is to receive network data communicated via a first channel associated with the online collaboration session, the network data including received media data packets. The disclosed example apparatus is also to analyze the network data to determine first loopback data, the first loopback data including at least one of a first quality score based on a first analysis of the received media data packets or a second quality score based on a second analysis of media decoded from the received media data packets. The disclosed example apparatus is also to analyze local data obtained by a local client during the online collaboration session to determine second loopback data. The disclosed example apparatus is further to cause transmission of a loopback message to a moderator client via the second channel, the loopback message based on the first loopback data and the second loopback data.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes encapsulating with an encapsulant at least a portion of a semiconductor die and a package substrate, the encapsulant including an additive selectively activated by way of a laser. A first opening is formed in the encapsulant, the first opening exposing a predetermined first portion of the package substrate. The additive is activated at the sidewalls of the first opening. A second opening is formed in the encapsulant, the second opening encircling the first opening and exposing a predetermined second portion of the package substrate. The additive is activated at the sidewalls the second opening. A conductive material is plated on the additive activated portions of the encapsulant.

Abstract: This application relates to a distributed software-defined network (“DSDN”) for dynamically configuring and managing a wireless communication network. A plurality of DSDN nodes are connected to each other via a plurality of communication paths. Each communication path directly connects two DSDN nodes. Each DSDN node can provide DSDN configurations across diverse and disparate networks by normalizing its data plane network traffic through translation and packet encapsulation. Furthermore, the DSDN node can provide an architecture tolerant of network interruptions and network system fluctuations. For example, in the case of any one of the DSDN node's network interruptions from other DSDN nodes, the DSDN can provide network reconfiguration using network configuration rules stored in a control plane of each DSDN node.
