Abstract: An optical lens connector includes a flat lens and substantially flat alignment surfaces. A lens body has a planar surface, and an optical lens is disposed in the lens body. The lens is a GRIN lens with a flat optical surface through which a light signal is propagated. The flat surface of the optical lens and the connector face enables the lens to be cleaned, and can reduce degradation due to contamination. The lens body can be housed in a sleeve as a rail guide to provide alignment of the lens with a mating connector lens.

Abstract: A LDPC decoder includes a processor for targeted symbol flipping of suspicious bits in a LDPC codeword with unsatisfied checks. All combinations of check indices and variable indices are compiled and correlated into a pool of targeted symbol flipping candidates and returned along with symbol indices to a process that uses such symbol indices to identify symbols to flip in order to break a trapping set.

Abstract: The present inventions are related to systems and methods for data processing, and more particularly to systems and methods for performing data decoding including utilization of different scaling values on a portion by portion basis during the data decoding.

Abstract: An active electric cable assembly suitable for high speed communication (e.g., 10 Gbit/sec) between electronic devices, such as but not limited to a peripheral device (e.g., storage device, docking station, etc.) and a computing platform expansion bus. (e.g., supporting the standards and specifications associated with the trade name Thunderbolt®). In embodiments, through holes, embossments, mechanical stops, micro-coaxial single wires, thermal pads, and dielectric film sheets are utilized in a robust cable assembly.

Abstract: Embodiments include a high bandwidth optical connection system suitable for interconnecting servers, for example within a rack of a datacenter. An edge mount optical connector assembly includes an edge-mount housing providing topside socket contacts proximate to a first end of the housing and a port at a second end to receive an optical plug connector. A socket latch cantilevered from an anchor point on the housing includes a latching face to contact a keeper face disposed on the housing and a spring load application surface between the anchor point and the latching face to apply a spring force against the electrical contacts for retention of a removable optical transceiver module. An optical plug connector includes a front housing joined to a rear housing with a plug lens spring loaded within the housing and with alignment features comprising two flat alignment surfaces orthogonally oriented relative to each other.

Abstract: A connector device includes a pluggable interface and a corresponding connector. The pluggable interface includes multiple rows of pads. Similarly, the connector includes multiple rows of contacts to contact the multiple rows of pads. The multiple rows of pads can further be subdivided where at least certain pad locations are subdivided into two smaller pads. At least certain pads can be disposed at angles other than right angles. The connector can include a cover with a mechanism to depress the second row of contacts. The depression mechanism is engaged via side wings on the cover engage with legacy plugs and avoid contact between the second row of contacts and the pads of the legacy plug.

Abstract: Methods for gaining profit of a sponsored keyword auctioneer are described herein. The method begins with holding a local keyword auction, and receiving bids for it, wherein each bid is for the right to display one advertisement associated with the bid in response to the bid being allocated along with one keyword. Bid for the same keyword at other auctions are placed. Once the bidders of the local keyword auction to adjust bids, the bid at the external auction is changed by utilizing a forward looking Nash equilibrium response function.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating more efficient bidding in an ad-words auction are described herein. An auctioning component can employ a forward-looking Nash equilibrium to facilitate an ad-words auction. A bidding component can enable bidding agents to place bids in the ad-words auction as a function of dynamically considering at least existing strategies of other bidding agents and future responses of the other bidding agents. Bidding agents associated with bids comprising higher true private values can obtain advertisement slots within the ad-words auction that are associated with a higher order of attractiveness to viewers—a bidding agent's true private value can be based on, at least in part, the bidding agent's estimate of value that at least one user interested in a particular keyword places on the bidding agent's product(s) and/or service(s).
