摘要:
An integrated circuit (IC) includes a photosensor array, some cells of which are reference cells that photosense throughout an application's energy range, while other cells of which are subrange cells that photosense within respective subranges. For example, the subrange cells can receive photons in their respective subranges from a transmission structure that has laterally varying properties, such as due to varying optical thickness. The reference cells may be uncoated or may also receive photons through a transmission structure such as a gray filter. Subrange cells and reference cells may be paired in adjacent lines across the array, such as rows. Where photon emanation can vary along a path, quantities of incident photons photosensed by subrange cells along the path can be adjusted based on quantities photosensed by their paired reference cells, such as with normalization.

Systems and techniques for transferring the flow of control between agents. In one general aspect, a computer program product includes instructions operable to cause data processing apparatus to: store data on a first call stack, the first call stack corresponding to and being used by a first agent; suspend the first agent's use of the first call stack; enable a second agent to access the data by using the first call stack; and resume the first agent's use of the first call stack after the second agent is no longer using the first call stack. According to another aspect, a computer program product includes a first set of instructions that is operable to store and access data on a shared call stack; and a second set of instructions that is operable to alternate execution of the first set of instructions between a first agent and a second, distinct agent.

A chip-size wavelength detector includes a film with laterally varying transmission properties and a position-sensitive detector. The film transmits a different wavelength as a function of lateral position across the film. The position of a spot of light transmitted through the film will shift, depending on the wavelength of the light. The shift is measured by the position-sensitive detector.

Production of microscopic and nanoscopic coils, transformers and capacitors by rolling up conductor layers during the removal of auxiliary layers from a substrate By removing the auxiliary layer (3) from the substrate (1), for example by virtue of a sacrificial layer (2) situated in between being selectively etched away, the auxiliary layer (3) folds back and, if appropriate, automatically rolls up upon continuation of the removal operation and a conductor track (4) concomitantly rolls up in the process. The auxiliary layer (3) may be formed by two layers (3a, 3b) having different lattice constants. It is possible to produce microcoils, microtransformers or microcapacitors constructed from said microcoils, with diameters in the nanometers or micrometers range.
