  • Patent number: 11960334
    Abstract: Cable assemblies for providing electrical communication between hinged sections of an electronic device are described. The cable assemblies can include a cover that covers one or more cables that run through a hinge region of the electronic device. The cable and cover can be drawn over a mandrel of the hinge region. The cover and the portions of the mandrel can be visible to a user at the hinge region of the electronic device. The cover can be sufficiently rigid to guide a path of the cable and protect the cable from bending beyond a prescribed angle during rotation of the electronic device at the hinge region. The cover can also be sufficiently rigid to prevent ceasing or folding of the cover and the cable during rotation of the electronic device at the hinge region.

  • Publication number: 20240103068
    Abstract: An apparatus is described for burn-in and/or functional testing of microelectronic circuits of unsingulated wafers. A large number of power, ground, and signal connections can be made to a large number of contacts on a wafer. The apparatus has a cartridge that allows for fanning-in of electric paths. A distribution board has a plurality of interfaces that are strategically positioned to provide a dense configuration. The interfaces are connected through flexible attachments to an array of first connector modules. Each one of the first connector modules can be independently connected to a respective one of a plurality of second connector modules, thereby reducing stresses on a frame of the apparatus. Further features include for example a piston that allows for tight control of forces exerted by terminals onto contacts of a wafer.

  • Publication number: 20230367655
    Abstract: A method is described. The method includes respectively adding respective identifiers of respective queues that provide packets to a CPU to a list in response to the respective queues being deemed quiet. The method includes, as a consequence of an interrupt having been generated in response to one of the respective queues having received a packet, removing the respective identifiers from the list and executing respective poll service handlers for the respective queues. The method includes disabling those of the respective poll service handlers and adding those of the respective identifiers back to the interrupt cause list for those of the respective queues that are again deemed quiet, while, continuing executing others of the respective poll service handlers for others of the respective queues that are not deemed quiet.

  • Patent number: 11403137
    Abstract: Tenant support is provided in a multi-tenant configuration in a data center by a Physical Function driver communicating a virtual User Priority to a virtual traffic class mapper to a Virtual Function driver. The Physical Function driver configures the Network Interface Controller to map virtual User Priorities to Physical User Priorities and to enforce the Virtual Function's limited access to Traffic Classes. Data Center Bridging features assigned to the physical network interface controller are hidden by virtualizing user priorities and traffic classes. A virtual Data Center Bridging configuration is enabled for a Virtual Function, to provide access to the user priorities and traffic classes that are not visible to the Virtual Function that the Virtual Function may need.

  • Publication number: 20150178291
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media related to wireless displays with audio skipping. In some embodiments, a plurality of audio packets may be captured. Each of the plurality of audio packets may be analyzed. Analyzing the packets may include determining whether an audio packet of the plurality of audio packets is silent. In response to determining the audio packet of the plurality of audio packets is not silent, an audio non-skip mode may be entered. In response to determining the audio packet of the plurality of audio packets is silent, a determination may be made as to whether an indicator has exceeded a threshold. The indicator may indicate a sequential number of silent audio packets. In response to the indicator indicating the indicator exceeds the threshold, an audio skip mode may be entered. In response to the indicator indicating the indicator has not exceeded the threshold, the audio non-skip mode may be entered.

  • Patent number: 8701072
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for rapidly identifying physical locations of manufacturing defects on the surface of a semiconductor die. The method and system first retrieve information about an electrical failure from an IC's electrical test result and then identify a set of electrical elements from the IC's layout design including a start resource and an end resource. Next, the method and system identify a physical signal path between the start resource and the end resource using the IC's layout design. Finally, the method and system examine a corresponding region on the semiconductor die that covers the physical signal path for manufacturing defects that may be responsible for the electrical failure.

  • Patent number: 7688271
    Abstract: A dipole antenna comprising a base; first and second pairs of dipoles positioned in front of the base and arranged around a central region; a first feed line which extends from the base towards the dipoles and splits at a first junction positioned in front of the base into a first pair of feed probes each of which is coupled to a respective one of the first pair of dipoles; and a second feed line which extends from the base towards the dipoles and splits at a second junction positioned in front of the base into a second pair of feed probes each of which is coupled to a respective one of the second pair of dipoles. The feed probes are spaced from the dipoles so as to field-couple with the dipoles. In one embodiment, the first pair of feed probes is positioned on a first side of the dipoles and the second pair of feed probes is positioned on a second side of the dipoles opposite to the first side. In another embodiment, the dipoles are printed on a PCB.
