Abstract: A direct-feeding liquid-passing heat-generating atomization device includes a ceramic body and the heating member. An atomization surface is arranged on an outside wall of the ceramic body, and the heating member is arranged on the atomization surface. The atomization surface is arranged to surround and define, in combination with an internal wall of a central tube, a gas passage channel. The ceramic body includes a ceramic liquid-absorption core and at least one structure supporting portion. The structure supporting portion is fixed to the ceramic liquid-absorption core. The atomization surface is arranged on the ceramic liquid-absorption core. Further, the structure supporting portion is formed with a liquid passage channel. One end of the liquid passage channel is in communication with the external liquid, and another end of the liquid passage channel is in communication with the ceramic liquid-absorption core.

Abstract: Active Ethernet cables that provide data path redundancy. One illustrative cable embodiment includes a first connector connected to each of a second and third connectors, the first connector including a multiplexer that couples a data stream from a selectable one of the second and third connectors to an output of the first connector. One illustrative method embodiment includes: producing from an output of a first connector a data stream from a currently selected one of multiple redundant connectors; monitoring the data stream for a fault associated with the currently selected one of multiple redundant connectors; and responsive to detecting said fault, producing from the output of the first connector a data stream from a different selected one of the multiple redundant connectors.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compound represented by formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof.

Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a disclosed physical layer interface device includes: a first transmitter and a first receiver for a primary data path; a second transmitter and a second receiver for a secondary data path; a third transmitter and a third receiver for a non-redundant data path; and a multiplexer. The third receiver is coupled to provide a data stream received from the non-redundant data path concurrently to the first and second transmitters, and the multiplexer provides the third transmitter with a selected one of the data stream received via the primary data path and the data stream received via the secondary data path. Disclosed network switch embodiments employ the illustrative physical layer interface to provide internal or external data path redundancy for traffic handled by the network switch.

Abstract: Accordingly, an improved interposer connection testing technique is provided, employing parallel pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) generators to test all the interconnects in parallel and simultaneously detect any correctable defects. In one embodiment, a microelectronic assembly includes an interposer electrically connected in a flip-chip configuration to an originating IC (integrated circuit) die and to a destination IC die, the substrate having multiple conductive traces for a parallel communications bus between the IC dies. The originating IC die has a first parallel PRBS (pseudo-random binary sequence) generator to drive test PRBSs with different phases in parallel across the interposer traces. The destination IC die has a second parallel PRBS generator to create reference PRBSs with different phases, and a bitwise comparator coupled to receive the test PRBSs from the interposer traces and to compare them to the reference PRBSs to provide concurrent fault monitoring for each of the traces.
