摘要:
The disaster recovery techniques, for presentment of a company's bills, statements or the like, provide electronic document presentment in the event of a disaster that impacts the company's print mail delivery operation or other existing mailing system(s). Files containing electronic documents are received, from a system associated with the print mail delivery operation, and the documents are stored in a database. Preferably, the systems use the company's existing data files. The files may be converted to a format compatible with one or more electronic delivery methodologies, if necessary. The disaster recovery systems present notice and/or data from the documents to the company's customers electronically, for example as e-mail (notice or message containing some or all of the document data), as a document attachment to an e-mail, via a web site, and possibly via telephone voice announcement.

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.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a data signal comprising a plurality of bits. The method further includes generating a clock signal. A plurality of samples is acquired from the data signal at a sampling rate determined by the clock signal and it is determined whether a transition point from a first bit in the plurality of bits to a second bit in the plurality of bits occurs within the plurality of samples. If it is determined that the transition point occurs within the plurality of samples, a state machine comprising a plurality of states transitions from a first state to a second state. If the second state indicates a non-zero amount of phase displacement between the clock signal and the data signal, the clock signal is adjusted to correlate with the data signal.

Disclosed are keeper circuits for electronic circuits that selectively maintain the voltage level of an intermediate circuit node at a desired level. In one exemplary embodiment, a keeper transistor either provides current or drains current from the intermediate node to maintain the desired voltage level in response to a signal to do so. The keeper circuit works against a leakage current that either drains current from the node or supplies current to the node. A current-setting transistor is coupled in series with the keeper transistor to set the maximum current through the keeper circuit to a value that is related to this leakage current, preferably tracking the leakage current. With this construction, the current-setting transistor is able to track variations in the leakage current caused by variations in the manufacturing process, and thereby provide dynamic leakage compensation.
