340results about How to "Reduce skew" patented technology

An electrical interconnection system with high speed, differential electrical connectors. The connector is assembled from wafers each containing a column of conductive elements, some of which form differential pairs. Skew control is provided for at least some of the pairs by providing a profile on an edge of the shorter signal conductor of the pair. The profile may contain multiple curved segments that effectively lengthen the signal conductor without significantly impacting its impedance. For connectors in which ground conductors are included between adjacent pairs of signal conductors, patterned segments of varying parameters may be included on edges of the signal conductors and ground conductors to equalize electrical lengths of all edges in a set of edges for which there is common mode or differential mode coupling as a signal propagates along each pair. Such features for skew control may be used in combination with other skew control features. The features used may vary depending on the location of the pair within the column.

System and method for improved time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter arrays which reduces sampling mismatch distortion found in prior art arrays. There may be two causes of non-uniform sampling mismatch in a TI-ADC array, a mismatch due to skew and a mismatch due to clock jitter. To minimize non-uniform sampling mismatch, the mismatch due to skew can be addressed. A preferred embodiment comprises adjusting a delay imparted on the sampling clock by an adjustable delay in each channel of a plurality of channels in the TI-ADC array to minimize skew and randomly switching between two delays that span a zero-skew delay to reduce residual skew in each channel and thus eliminate (or reduce) frequency domain tones caused by non-uniform sampling mismatch.

The invention provides a PLC-type DP-QPSK demodulator that reduces connection loss between a polarization beam splitter and a 90-degree hybrid circuit and aims at reducing the manufacturing cost and an optical transmission system using the same. In an embodiment of the invention, a PLC-type DP-QPSK demodulator that receives a DP-QPSK signal includes one PLC chip having a planar lightwave circuit. Input ports and output ports of signal light are provided at an input end and at an output end of the PLC chip, respectively. Within the planar lightwave circuit, there are integrated a polarization beam splitter that splits the DP-QPSK signal into an X-polarization QPSK signal and a Y-polarization QPSK signal, and two 90-degree hybrid circuits that mix the X-polarization QPSK signal and local oscillation light and the Y-polarization QPSK signal and local oscillation light, respectively, split each QPSK signal into orthogonal components I, Q and output them.

The invention relates to a self-adaptive load balancing method for Reduce ends in a parallel computing framework. The distribution of data input by tasks is predicted through adopting a dynamic hash function division method; and a static hash function is produced according to the distribution characteristics of the predicted data, so that under the effect of the static hash function, all data can be evenly distributed into corresponding computing nodes as much as possible. Therefore, during task scheduling, the allocation of the data and computing resources can be dynamically and self-adaptively adjusted according to the data distribution condition, the deflection occurring during the computation is reduced and the efficiency is improved.

In a second embodiment, an asymmetrical writer is formed with a straight and sloped trailing edge such that the write corner has a greater pole height than the opposite corner on the trailing edge. The bowed angle in the symmetrical writer and slope angle in the asymmetrical writer is between 5 and 45 degrees and preferably between 10 and 30 degrees.

An electrical connector includes connector pads on a printed circuit board and contact members on an insulating substrate. The contact members are pressed against the contact pads by a compression mat having compressor fingers. A clamping arrangement forces the compressor fingers against the substrate and thereby presses the contact members against the contact pads. To counteract the inherent tendency of the compressor fingers to undergo stress relaxation after the compressor mat has been clamped, the connector also includes filler members disposed at least partially within the compressor fingers, essentially a “button-within-a-button” arrangement. Optionally, a filler deflection member may be interposed between the compression mat and a clamping plate of the clamping arrangement so that the filler deflection member abuts against the filler members. Alternatively, the filler members may be integral features of the deflection member.

A differential signal cable comprises two insulated wires arranged parallelly in a contact, each of said two insulated wires comprising a conductor and an insulator jacketing the conductor; a fusion layer provided on the surface of each of said two insulated wires; a drain wire placed longitudinally in a recess created in the interstice between said two insulated wires; and a shield tape lapping around said two insulated wires and said drain wire together, wherein a surface of said insulator of each of said two insulated wires is partially deformed so as to have a flat portion and said two insulated wires are fused each other at said flat portions.

An improved level shift circuit and method for level shifting is disclosed herein. In general, the improved level shift circuit adds a pulse generator, a feedback transistor and a latch to a conventional cross-coupled level shift circuit configuration. The pulse generator and feedback transistor are configured for reducing a fall delay associated with the level shift circuit. For example, the pulse generator is coupled for supplying a short duration feedback pulse to the feedback transistor during a first time period when input and output signals of the level shift circuit transition to a LOW state. The feedback pulse reduces the fall delay by increasing the speed with which the output signal is pulled LOW. The latch is coupled for preventing the feedback signal from floating when at least one of the input and output signals is HIGH. An integrated circuit comprising at least one level shift circuit is also contemplated herein.

A recyclable tufted carpet meeting EPA recyclable content standards and having improved dimensional stability that reduces skew, bow, and wrinkles during manufacture and installation is formed by combining prior art primary and secondary backings into a single, fiber-reinforced primary backing layer. Consolidating either a glass fiber fabric layer, a glass veil, or a glass mat with a fiber-reinforced extruded film forms the fiber-reinforced primary backing layer. An additional glass fabric fiber layer can also be introduced to the primary backing to provide additional dimensional stability.

Two or more circuits (e.g. processing cores of a graphics processor) operate synchronously at a fast clock frequency. A core interface to each of the processing cores is designed to communicate in synchronous fashion with one or more other core interfaces at a slow clock frequency. The fast clock is distributed to each processing core in a manner that provides minimized skew and jitter, e.g. with a balanced tree network. The slow clock is locally derived from the fast clock in each core interface. One of the core interfaces is selected to provide a synchronism signal, and the synchronism signal is distributed among the multiple core interfaces to synchronize the locally derived slow clocks.
