  • Patent number: 9612612
    Abstract: A wide bandwidth resonant clock distribution comprises a clock grid configured to distribute a clock signal to a plurality of components of an integrated circuit and a tunable sector buffer configured to receive the clock signal and provide an output to the clock grid. The tunable sector buffer is configured to set latency and slew rate of the clock signal based on an identified resonant or non-resonant mode.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9054682
    Abstract: A wide bandwidth resonant clock distribution comprises a clock grid configured to distribute a clock signal to a plurality of components of an integrated circuit, a tunable sector buffer configured to receive the clock signal and provide an output to the clock grid, at least one inductor, at least one tunable resistance switch, and a capacitor network. The tunable sector buffer is programmable to set latency and slew rate of the clock signal. The inductor, tunable resistance switch, and capacitor network are connected between the clock grid and a reference voltage. The at least one tunable resistance switch is programmable to dynamically switch the at least one inductor in or out of the clock distribution to effect at least one resonant mode of operation or a non-resonant mode of operation based on a frequency of the clock signal.

  • Patent number: 8520597
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for processing data in an ad-hoc network, particularly, an MANET. The method includes: (a) determining whether to generate any one of first data and second data having a priority lower than the first data; (b) when predetermined data is generated in accordance with the determination, measuring a mode value related to the driving of a first node which currently possesses the predetermined generated data; and (c) processing, by the first node, the generated data by considering a content of the generated data and the measured mode value.

  • Patent number: 5620382
    Abstract: A golf club head comprising a ball striking face with an insert of polycrystalline diamond (PCD), polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN), cemented compact, or single diamond crystal is described. Such inserts, because of their hardness and strength, provide for greater distance and accuracy of golf shots as compared to softer materials. These inserts have a mirror-like finish that is resistant to scratches, chips, and deformation.

  • Patent number: 4940350
    Abstract: A fluid applicator includes a fluid container having a collar mounted at an open top end. A base is mounted in the collar and is shaped to conform to the shape of a porous, spherical applicator member rotatably mounted in the collar, with a portion of the applicator member extending outward from the collar. An air intake conduit is centrally mounted in the base and draws air from the pores in the applicator member into the interior of the container to control the rate of fluid dispersion through fluid outlets formed in the base to the applicator member.
