Abstract: A photonic device has a substrate with one or more optical resonators having a first resonant frequency response relative to temperature and a different second resonant frequency response relative to temperature. A first waveguide optically couples a first light beam having a first frequency to a first optical resonator and a second waveguide optically couples a second light beam having a second frequency to a second optical resonator. An optical shifter may shift an optical characteristic of the second light beam. A detector converts output light from the photonic device into an electric signal having a characteristic indicative of a physical condition, such as temperature, of the photonic device. In some cases, output light from the one or more optical resonators is combined and a temperature of the photonic device is determined from a beat frequency in the combined light. One or more multimode optical resonators may be used.

Abstract: A switch sensor for sensing a state of a switch including a programmable memory, pulse generation circuitry, and comparator circuitry. The memory stores a state value indicative of a detected state of the switch. The pulse generation circuitry provides a pulse-train voltage signal to a first end of the switch, in which the pulse-train voltage signal is toggled between an active state for switch state detection and an inactive state for conserving power. A second terminal of the switch is coupled through resistive circuitry to a supply voltage node and may be coupled to an input terminal of the sensor. The comparator circuitry compares a state of the input terminal with the state value when the pulse-train voltage signal is in the active state for providing a state change signal indicative thereof.

Abstract: A tool for checking wear in a Cardan joint comprises a base element, a trigger plate, an indicator pin, an indicator pin carrier and an indicator pin biasing element. The trigger plate is pivotally mounted to the base element about a trigger plate pivot axis (A) for pivotal movement between a first pivotal position and a second pivotal position. It has, at one end, a trigger plate yoke with a pair of opposed arms for engaging over one arm of a second yoke member of the Cardan joint and, at another end, an indicator pin opening. The indicator pin carrier is pivotally mounted to the base element to permit the angular position of the indicator pin carrier to be adjusted relative to the trigger plate. The indicator pin carrier is arranged between the base element and the trigger plate.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a hardware enforcement mechanism to enable platform-specific firmware visibility into an error state ahead of the operating system are disclosed. A system includes at least one or more processor cores, control logic, a plurality of registers, platform-specific firmware, and an operating system (OS). The control logic allows the platform-specific firmware to decide if and when the error state is visible to the OS. In some cases, the platform-specific firmware blocks the OS from accessing the error state. In other cases, the platform-specific firmware allows the OS to access the error state such as when the OS needs to unmap a page. The control logic enables the platform-specific firmware, rather than the OS, to make decisions about the replacement of faulty components in the system.
