In one embodiment, a method includes receiving input data bits over data channels; receiving deskew channel bits constituting frames that each comprise ones of the input data bits; determining frame boundaries; mapping each of the input data bits in each of the frames to one of the data channels; for each set of the frames, comparing the input data bits in the set with the input data bits in the corresponding input data words; determining relative delays among the data channels and the deskew channel; when non-zero delays are determined, rearranging the input data bits to reduce the delays; and when it is determined that one or more of the data channels have a delay of greater than a predetermined number of data-channel clock periods relative to a particular data channel, delaying input data bits in the particular data channel by an additional number of input data bits.

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating variable precision tuning of an amplifier circuit. In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, the system includes an amplifier having multiple tuning stages to set the gain of the amplifier to discrete gain levels. In particular embodiments, the tuning stages are connected in series and each of the tuning stages includes a resistor connected in parallel to a switch, which can be disengaged to cause the amplifier to set the gain to an adjacent gain level. In certain embodiments, the difference in gain between each adjacent one of the plurality of gain levels is more at higher gain levels than at lower gain levels.

In one embodiment, a method can include: receiving a packet in a device; classifying the received packet as a first packet type or a second packet type; when the packet is the first packet type, forwarding the packet to a next hop; and when the packet is the second packet type: performing forward error correction (FEC) encoding on the packet to generate repair data, modifying the packet by adding a multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) header to indicate that the packet is to be forwarded on an FEC-protected label switched path (LSP), generating an additional MPLS packet carrying the repair data, and forwarding the modified packet and the additional packet to a next hop.

Disclosed herein are methods for treating a vascular leak disorder, hypotension, or a procoagulant state using angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) antagonist compounds. Also disclosed are methods for treating a vascular leak disorder associated with high dose IL-2 therapy using angiopoietin-2 antagonist compounds. Methods for diagnosing and monitoring vascular leak disorders, hypotension, or a procoagulant state that include the measurement of Ang-2 polypeptide or nucleic acid levels are also disclosed. Methods for inducing a vascular leak using an Ang-2 agonist are also disclosed.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving input data bits at a collective data rate, the input data bits being grouped into a plurality of input data words, the input data bits of each of the input data words being received from n parallel input-data-bit streams, each of the n parallel input-data-bit streams having a stream data rate that is 1/n of the collective data rate, each of the input data words comprising n consecutive ones of the input data bits; selecting particular input data bits; and generating a k-bit deskew channel with the selected input data bits, the deskew channel comprising a number of frames, each of the frames comprising x input data bits from one or more input data words and one or more framing bits. In another embodiment, a method includes using such a deskew channel to determine relative delays between data channels and the deskew channel.

A pivot assembly is provided for pivotally attaching a pivotable seat component to a fixed seat component. The fixed component includes first and second apertures, first and second outer surfaces and first and second inner surfaces adjacent the apertures, and the pivotable component includes at least one pivot hole therein. The pivot assembly includes a bolt having a head, a cylindrical portion and a threaded portion. A threaded nut is engageable with the threaded portion of the bolt. A generally cylindrical plastic bushing is fitted over the cylindrical portion of the bolt and includes a peripheral lip abutting the head of the bolt and a plurality of swageable flanges extending at least partially over the threaded portion of the bolt. The swageable flanges cooperate to form a generally cylindrical shape having an outside diameter which is smaller than the first aperture and the pivot hole for insertion therethrough and larger than the second aperture for swaging against the second inner surface as the nut and bolt are threadedly engaged.
摘要:
A flat panel x-ray imager exhibiting reduced ghosting effects and overvoltage protection by appropriate leakage current characteristics of the thin-film transistor array. A top electrode of a suitable material is directly on a non-insulating organic layer. The organic layer is directly on an amorphous selenium-based charge generator layer allowing charge transport across the layer, thereby reducing ghosting. The thin-film transistors have leakage current that rises relatively slowly with voltage across the transistor within a range that matches exposure through an object being imaged but rises at a sufficiently higher rate within a higher range to provide protection even when a corresponding region of the charge generator layer receives greater amounts of x-rays.
