Abstract:
An optical-powered device includes a flexible substrate, a photonic bandgap layer coupled thereto, a waveguide contained within the photonic bandgap layer, and a dendrimer region contained within the waveguide. The dendrimer region may comprise more than one dendrimers. The dendrimer region emission band is within the photonic bandgap of the photonic bandgap layer. Multiple photonic bandgap layers may be included, with one or more waveguides therein. Each waveguide may have a dendrimer region therein. Electronic circuitry may be contained within a portion of the photonic bandgap layer. A light-modulating layer may be directly coupled to the photonic bandgap layer. A portion of the photonic bandgap layer may have a sensing material embedded therein. A cover layer having one or more windows may be coupled to the photonic bandgap layer. Another layer, such as a buffer layer, may be disposed between the substrate layer and the photonic bandgap layer.

A 3D Photonic Bandgap Device in SOI (NC#98374). The structure includes a substrate having a semiconductor layer over an insulator layer and a 3D photonic bandgap structure having at least one period operatively coupled to the substrate. The apparatus has a funnel waveguide configuration.
Abstract:
Disclosed are embodiments of a system, methods and mechanism for management and translation of mapping between logical sequencer addresses and physical or logical sequencers in a multi-sequencer multithreading system. A mapping manager may manage assignment and mapping of logical sequencer addresses or pages to actual sequencers or frames of the system. Rationing logic associated with the mapping manager may take into account sequencer attributes when such mapping is performed Relocation logic associated with the mapping manager may manage spill and fill of context information to/from a backing store when re-mapping actual sequencers. Sequencers may be allocated singly, or may be allocated as part of partitioned blocks. The mapping manager may also include translation logic that provides an identifier for the mapped sequencer each time a logical sequencer address is used in a user program. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
Abstract:
A residual free scent dispenser for dispersion of scent having a housing and a scent container having a scent permeating material disposed therein. The housing has an air intake port and an air exhaust port. The scent container has at least one perforation and is disposed in the air exhaust port. Air is drawn into the housing through the air intake port and exhausted through at least one perforation of the scent container passing air over the scent permeating material. The principle use is for hunting, however other scent dispersing uses will benefit from this invention. For example, home or car applications will benefit from this invention.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor having a core with decode logic to decode an instruction prescribing an identification of a location to be monitored and a timer value, and a timer coupled to the decode logic to perform a count with respect to the timer value. The processor may further include a power management unit coupled to the core to determine a type of a low power state based at least in part on the timer value and cause the processor to enter the low power state responsive to the determination. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
A system and method include forming an optical cavity by positioning a photonic crystal a predetermined distance from a substrate, and creating, within the cavity, a standing wave having a substantially flat wavefront. The standing wave may be created by applying an input wave to a first surface of the photonic crystal. The predetermined distance may be such that a peak intensity of the standing wave is proximate to or a calculated distance from the substrate surface. The peak intensity may vary in relation to the substrate surface. The method may include tuning the peak intensity location within the cavity by shifting the wavelength of the input wave or altering the characteristics of the photonic crystal by an external field. A second photonic crystal may be used on the other side of the substrate to replace the reflecting properties of the substrate, allowing for further smoothing of the wavefront.

Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes managing user-level threads on a first instruction sequencer in response to executing user-level instructions on a second instruction sequencer that is under control of an application level program. A first user-level thread is run on the second instruction sequencer and contains one or more user level instructions. A first user level instruction has at least 1) a field that makes reference to one or more instruction sequencers or 2) implicitly references with a pointer to code that specifically addresses one or more instruction sequencers when the code is executed.
