Abstract: A digital system has a dielectric core waveguide that is formed within a multilayer substrate. The dielectric waveguide has a longitudinal dielectric core member formed in the core layer having two adjacent longitudinal sides each separated from the core layer by a corresponding slot portion formed in the core layer The dielectric core member has the first dielectric constant value. A cladding surrounds the dielectric core member formed by a top layer and the bottom layer infilling the slot portions of the core layer. The cladding has a dielectric constant value that is lower than the first dielectric constant value.

Abstract: A dielectric waveguide (DWG) may be used to identify a composition of a material that is in contact with the DWG. A radio frequency (RF) signal is transmitted into a dielectric waveguide located in contact with the material. The RF signal is received after it passes through the DWG. An insertion loss of the DWG is determined. The presence of the material may be inferred when the insertion loss exceeds a threshold value. The composition of the material may be inferred based on a correlation with the insertion loss. Alternatively, a volume of the material may be inferred based on a correlation with the insertion loss.

Abstract: A system includes a spatial light modulator (SLM) configured to project an image. The system also includes a controller coupled to the SLM. The controller is configured to receive the image and determine a brightness level of the image. The controller is also configured to enforce a brightness limit on the image responsive to the brightness level, to produce a reduced image. The controller is configured to instruct a display to display the reduced image.

Abstract: A multi-phase clock circuit includes a first delay circuit, a second delay circuit, a third delay circuit, a first clock mixer circuit, and a second clock mixer circuit. The first, second, and third delay circuits are coupled in series. The first clock mixer circuit includes a first input and a second input. The first input is coupled to an output of the first delay circuit. The second input is coupled to an output of the second delay circuit. The second clock mixer circuit also includes a first input and a second input. The first input of the second clock mixer circuit is coupled to an output of the second delay circuit. The second input of the second clock mixer circuit is coupled to an output of the third delay circuit.

Abstract: Transmitter circuitry transmits: a first voltage as the return-to-zero signal that is higher than a first positive threshold, the first voltage being decodable to a first order of data bits; a second voltage as a return-to-zero signal that is between a second positive threshold and the first positive threshold, the second voltage being decodable to a second order of the data bits, and the second positive threshold being lower than the first positive threshold; a third voltage as the return-to-zero signal that is between a first negative threshold and a second negative threshold, the third voltage being decodable to a third order of the data bits, and the second negative threshold being higher than the first negative threshold; and a fourth voltage as the return-to-zero signal that is lower than the first negative threshold, the fourth voltage being decodable to a fourth order of the data bits. Clock circuitry transitions a clock signal for the return-to-zero signal crossing the second positive threshold, and for the return-to-zero signal crossing the second negative threshold.

Abstract: A duty cycle correction circuit includes a charge pump and a controller. The charge pump includes a current source, a first output, and a second output. The charge pump routes current from the current source to the first output during a positive portion of a clock, and routes current from the current source to the second output during a negative portion of the clock. The controller compares charge accumulated from the first output to charge accumulated from the second output over a plurality of clock cycles to determine which of the positive portion of the clock and the negative portion of the clock is longer. The controller also generates a digital value that indicates an amount of adjustment to apply to a duty cycle of the clock based on which of the positive portion of the clock and the negative portion of the clock is longer.
