An apparatus for continuously winding a plurality of inductors with insulated wire on an elongated bobbin in a manner such that portions of the wire that will locate at specified locations has its insulation is removed prior to wrapping. The apparatus includes a rotating device for turning the bobbin, a feedscrew for imparting a controlled pitch on the winding, a suspension system running the wire from a wire spool to the bobbin, and a means for removing insulation from the portions of the wire that will locate at the specified locations.

In general, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to techniques for migrating social networking connections in a social network from one profile to another profile. A first incoming connection from a third profile in a social network to a first profile in the social network may be determined. A first outgoing connection to a fourth profile in the social network from the first profile in the social network may be determined. A second incoming connection from the third profile to a second profile may be created based at least in part on the first incoming connection. A second outgoing connection to the fourth profile from the second profile may be created based at least in part on the first outgoing connection.

Embodiments of a system that includes an array of chip modules (CMs) is described. In this system, a given CM in the array includes a semiconductor die that is configured to communicate data signals with one or more adjacent CMs through electromagnetic proximity communication using proximity connectors. Note that the proximity connectors are proximate to a surface of the semiconductor die. Moreover, the given CM is configured to communicate optical signals with other CMs through an optical signal path using optical communication, and the optical signals are encoded using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM).

An optical receiver is described. This optical receiver includes a digital feedback circuit that biases a front-end circuit, which receives an optical signal, so that an analog electrical signal output by the front-end circuit is calibrated relative to a reference voltage corresponding to a decision threshold of a digital slicer in the optical receiver. In particular, during a calibration mode the feedback circuit may determine and store a calibration value that calibrates the analog electrical signal relative to the reference voltage. Then, during a normal operating mode, the feedback circuit may output a current corresponding to the stored calibration value that specifies a bias point of the front-end circuit.

An integrated circuit containing a communication channel is described. This communication channel includes a transmit circuit configured to transmit signals using a voltage-mode driver, a receive circuit, and a capacitive link that couples the transmit circuit to the receive circuit. The communication channel includes a filter with a capacitive-summing junction to equalize signals communicated between the transmit circuit and the receive circuit.

Selections of content sources are received. Content source bundles are generated from the selected content sources, each content source bundle defined by one or more selected content sources assigned to that content source bundle, and each content source bundle having associated data indicative of users interested in content provided by the selected content sources of that content source bundle. The content source bundles are presented for use in advertising campaigns in which advertisements can be published on selected content sources of a content source bundle, and the performance of each content source bundle used in advertisement campaigns are measured.

A method for calibrating an offset voltage of an amplifier used to amplify capacitively coupled communication signals is described. During this process, a common voltage is applied to one or more inputs to the amplifier. Next, an output of the amplifier is iteratively, measured, and charge is applied to the one or more inputs until the offset voltage is less than a pre-determined value. Note that applying the charge may involve applying a sequence of one or more charge pulses.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that reduces power consumption by using capacitive coupling to perform a majority detection operation. The system starts by driving a plurality of signals onto a plurality of driven wires. The signals are then fed from each driven wire through a corresponding coupling capacitor to a single majority detection wire. Next, the system feeds signal on the majority detection wire and a bias voltage to a differential receiver. The output of the differential receiver switches if the signal on the majority-detection wire switches relative to the bias voltage. The system then uses the output of the differential receiver to optimize the signals from the plurality of driven wires for transmission across a long signal route. Optimizing the transmission of signals reduces the power consumed by the computer system.
