  • Patent number: 7348796
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for Network-on-Chip (NoC) and other integrated circuit architectures. A configurable fabric circuit (CFC) is interfaced with one or more core circuits and the CFC is responsive to an input signal and capable of reconfiguring the logic circuit in the CFC in accordance with an operational mode determined based on the received input signal to facilitate a core circuit interfaced therewith to carry out an operation consistent with the operational mode.

  • Patent number: 7332985
    Abstract: The film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device comprises a substrate, an acoustic Bragg reflector over the substrate, a piezoelectric element over the acoustic Bragg reflector, and a remote-side electrode over the piezoelectric element. The acoustic Bragg reflector comprises a metal Bragg layer juxtaposed with a plastic Bragg layer. The large ratio between the acoustic impedances of the plastic material of the plastic Bragg layer and the metal of the metal Bragg layer provides sufficient acoustic isolation between the FBAR and the substrate for the frequency response of the FBAR device to exhibit minor, if any, spurious artifacts arising from undesirable acoustic coupling between the FBAR and the substrate.

  • Patent number: 4972042
    Abstract: An arrangement for forming a block in a cable against transmission of fluid along the cable comprises a generally flat blocking array (1) that is formed from a fusible polymeric sealant, e.g. a hot-melt adhesive or a thermosetting adhesive, which has a number of passage ways (2) extending from one end of the array to the other end for receiving wires (4) of the cable. The assembly includes a heat-shrinkable covering that can be positioned around the blocking array (1) in its flat configuration and recovered about the array by application of heat, and the sealant is capable of melting during recovery of the covering and being forced from a generally flat configuration to a generally cylindrical one by recovery of the covering. The invention also includes arrays per se which may be formed from hot-melt adhesives or thermosetting adhesives.
