Abstract: An intermedullary device and methods of use are described. The device is configured for fixation of a long bone and to facilitate healing of the long bone. The device comprises an elongate member having a first end, a second end, and a mid region. The mid region comprises a band or collar extending outwardly away from the outer surface of the device to increase all or a portion of the cross-sectional diameter of the mid region. The elongate member has a length that may be about the same as or less than the length of the long bone's diaphyseal region. The band further comprises at least one engaging surface configured for engaging with a cortical region of the long bone at a defect site. Use of the device facilitates healing of the long bone at or near the defect site. The method comprises providing a first end of the device in a first exposed region of the long bone's medullary canal. The method further comprises providing a second end of the device in a second exposed region of the medullary canal.

Abstract: A method of entropy encoding image or video data may include entropy encoding a number of blocks independently and in parallel to generate a number of bit streams. At least one of the number of bit streams may include an assumed value in place of a value that would be determined by another bit stream. The method may also include selectively correcting the assumed value based on a value in another one of the number of bit streams. The number of bit streams may be combined into an output, entropy encoded bit stream corresponding to the number of blocks.

Abstract: An interface alignment pattern for de-skewing data bits received on an elastic interface is disclosed. The interface alignment pattern is “busy” in that it has a high number of logic state transitions. The busy interface alignment pattern can be used for scrambling and unscrambling operational data. The interface alignment pattern has a unique timing sequence for determining the location of a data bit's first data beat.

Embodiments include constraining one or more fields of a record and determining delay amounts based on the resulting parameters, where the final delay amount includes a delay buffer and a net of delay amounts associated with the parameters. Embodiments may also include determining a value of a next bit to be sent to the I/O bus and, after waiting the delay amount, driving the bit on the bus to the next bit value. Parameters may include skew, jitter, duty cycle distortion, voltage reference distortion, and drift of any of these parameters. Further embodiments may include signaling the end of a phase in response to a phase done condition being satisfied.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for de-skewing and aligning digital data received over and elastic interface bus is disclosed. Upon receiving the data, it is sent through a programmable delay line. While in the programmable delay line, the data is sampled at three points within the data's eye pattern. The three sampling points are dynamically adjusted to maximize coverage of the data's eye pattern. During the adjustment of the sampling points to optimally cover the data's eye pattern, delayed data is sampled from an alternate sampler to prevent sampling from the functional sampler while the delay in the primary sampler is adjusted. Sampling from the alternate sampler while changing the sampling points of the functional sampler serves to reduce glitches that may occur by sampling the functional sampler while its sampling parameters are changed. The method and apparatus allow for alternate eye tracking and wraparound eye tracking.

Abstract: Data signals are transmitted over transmission lines in groups to receivers in a receiving IC. Each group of data signals has a differential clock used in synchronizing and detecting the data signals. The data signal eye windows vary with timing jitter in the data signals relative to the clock edges and the asymmetry in a compensated clock signal detected from the differential clock using a duty cycle adjustment circuit. Error detection determines if the clock asymmetry is affecting the eye window of the data signals. Control signals selectively adjust the gain of differential stages generating the compensated clock to modify the duty cycle of the compensated clock. The eye window of the data signals are monitored and used as feedback to servo the control signals to optimize the duty cycle of the compensated clock signal for sampling the data signals.
